  1. Why do we hear about bomb and death threats much much more often than we hear about arrests and convictions for making bomb and death threats?

    It’s 2024, law enforcement should be able to track down and prosecute a significant percentage of these. This is terrorism.

    Are people seriously doing bomb threats because of the idea that immigrants are eating pets? Things must be pretty good for MAGA for this to be able to provoke so much anger

  3. At what point does the FBI start tracing every call to every municipal building in Springfield?

    Throw these terrorists in prison.

  4. Turn out the unrest in Ohio is caused by people trolled on the internet into performing acts of domestic terrorism against the public because they hate Haitian people. 

  5. I hope they lock these traitors away for the rest of their worthless lives.

    This is all on Trump and his stochastic terrorism should land him in prison, too.

  6. It’s hard to wrap my mind about people getting so angry at immigrants making life hard for small town natives that they send threats and shut down the hospitals, making things far worse for people who they felt were getting victimized in the first place.

    This is ‘shoot the hostage’ type action.

  7. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.salon.com/2024/09/14/third-day-of-bomb-inspired-by-lies-sends-springfield-hospitals-into/) reduced by 63%. (I’m a bot)

    > Two hospitals in Springfield, Ohio went into lockdown on Saturday morning, as bomb threats plagued the town for a third day.

    > Officials at Kettering Health Springfield and Mercy Health's Springfield Regional Medical Center placed the two healthcare facilities on lockdown after they became aware of bomb threats made early on Saturday morning, prompting a search of the premises before they could re-open.

    > The Springfield Police Department issued a statement on Saturday, alerting residents to the continued threats and promising safety as threats against the Haitian community accelerate.

  8. Maybe Ohio will start to see the light…Springfield is getting some of that Portland/SF/Portland/NYC treatment from MAGA.

    One more reason I hope he loses…this will be great material for senate candidates to use against the couch fucker.

    I would think a lying sack of shit inciting dumb racist idiots with made up bullshit should be enough for some kind of legal consequences but what do I know ?

  11. Ohio … please vote for Sherrod Brown. The control of the Senate for Republicans means they are desperate to overturn that seat and they are throwing Springfield and immigrants under the bus to use fear as a tactic to get people to vote for them. It’s why Trump insisted the House refuse to vote for the bipartisan immigration reform bill earlier this year and why JD Vance is telling his followers to continue to make kitten memes and push the anti-immigrant angle… even though he knows the story wasn’t true. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/09/10/politics/jd-vance-haitian-immigrants

  12. When someone dies, will Trump and Vance be held accountable? No, of course not. This is all a sick game to them and their fan club.

    Donald Trump is a stochastic terrorist. There is already blood on his hands and there will be more by the end of all of this.

  14. Source: I work in the public schools as an interpreter. I recently interpreted (French) for a meeting with a Haitian father. At the end of the meeting he held onto my hand and thanked me profusely and asked me to thank and God bless everyone at the school who is helping his child. Then he asked me if I knew of any jobs he could do. He offered to wash the windows and clean the floors and bathrooms of the school. To my knowledge none of the families are living for free or getting handouts other than food bank. They just want to work and give their family a better life. Period. The rest is lies and rubbish…

  15. So, MAGAs answer to people’s pets being “eaten” is to make bomb threats on schools and hospitals?

  16. I cannot believe we as a nation have people so STUPID they would consider voting for that fraud Trump.
