    Unbelievable!Who needs enemies when you have politicians like these?臘‍♂️ They should stick to improving the town, not causing chaos.Maybe they need a lesson in diplomacy…

  2. “Their” words. Actually name them damnit: Vance and Trump have painted the target on this poor city.

    Trump isn’t setting his goons on the capital this time, he choose Springfield 

  3. John Legend is having to defend his hometown now by doing a sit down explanation on social media of what’s going on and why Trump, Vance, and the GOP are wrong about everything they’re saying.

    These dipshits can’t help but engage in stochastic terrorism just to keep up with their insane leader, it’s a baseline.

  5. Residents are getting leaflets about a clan/neo Nazi march in two weeks, this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better I fear

  6. we’re in the most dangerous and toxic period. under two months to go, with republicans performing poorly they will regress to their most base and vitriolic impulses.

    i’m reminded of the obama second election cycle, when republicans were so desperate that they just started spamming social media with blatantly racist and gross memes.

    that’s where we’re at. open tribalistic racism.

    Come on, politicians’ words that did it? You might as well say that The Donald bears responsibility for January 6, then. 🤔

    Anyone who has a Trump sign on their lawn is a traitor.

    I will not forget that you had that sign up

    There no evidence to support what these people are saying and now there’s evidence that what they’re saying is leading to explicit threats.

    Charge these people with incitement, or some other crime, the next time they repeat these lies and let the courts decide whether it’s protected speech or not. Thats pretty much the only way free speech laws are going to be updated.

  10. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/springfield-mayor-on-politicians-after-bomb-threat-it-was-their-words-that-did-it) reduced by 78%. (I’m a bot)

    > "All these federal politicians that have negatively spun our city, they need to know they're hurting our city, and it was their words that did it," he told Six On Your Side.

    > "When federal politicians and leaders have the national stage, they need to make sure they consider cities and what they're doing to cities with the words they're saying. … Matter of fact, I saw on one of the news clips last night that there was a federal politician that said that DeWine is sending troops to Springfield. That's that is not true.”

    > Thousands of Haitian legal immigrants have flooded Springfield in the past few years, which the mayor says has overburdened city resources, from housing to schools to health care and to law enforcement.

  11. “I probably got shot in the head because of the things they say about me.”
    Then right after…
    Haitian immigrants are eating your pets in Ohio, killing and raping your kids, and even if they are here legally I’m gonna deport them. I can’t imagine that would have any consequences against them

  12. The mayor of Springfield should hold a press conference, look into the camera and ask Trump and Vance to make a public announcement that they denounce this violence against hospitals and schools.

  13. FFS, we are in this mess because too many cowards don’t speak the truth. “Federal Politicians”…no….it was Republicans spreading that bs.

  14. Where is the Governor of Ohio standing up for his people and his state? Is he basically saying he is powerless and only a bystander?
    Good to know. When you have an Ohio senator throwing his own state and people under the bus to win national notice you get the picture.

    Mayor should call out j.d. vance for this bullshit. Repping ohio like a bitch. I hope his political career and personal life suffers like the suffering he is putting on the good people of Springfield Ohio. What a douche bag.

  16. ya ,think…. it’s always their word’s that did it…. school shootings, bomb threats, death threats etc

    JD decided it was a great thing to destroy a city in a state he represents in the US Senate.

    Then why do they not file charges?

    Send Trump a fucking bill for every penny of overtime the fire department, the police, the EMTs, the FBI, and the military has had to work responding to this bullshit. Lock his ass up.
