According to the report, Erika Lee, a resident of Springfield, posted to Facebook commenting on a neighbor’s cat who had gone missing — and mentioned that the neighbor had been suspicious the cat might have been attacked by Haitians who lived in the neighborhood.
Racist, but I believe that she didn’t intend for it to cause a national thing. She wanted to be racist on a small scale, not cause schools to get bomb threats. Well, this is what you caused, shithead. Probably the biggest thing you’ll ever accomplish. Take a bow.
Its worst than the qoute. She posted a story her neighbor told her about her daughter’s friend’s cat. So the source of the story was 3 layers of people removed from her.
When the news reached out to the neighbor, she said that it was an acquaintance of a friend, so even less reliable.
So yes, wholley racist, even as she claims it wasn’t. She was pissed at legal migrants moving into her community, and spread racist rumors about them to feed that anger.
“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,”
She meant it. She just didn’t mean to get in trouble.
If you didn’t mean it you shouldn’t have lied about it in the first place. What kind of deranged asshat would make up stories like that.
It’s times like this where I sometimes feel people need a license to surf the internet.
Following the Debate I had a Trump supporter come to my door. We have yard signs but, uh, the dude went a step deeper and knew our names. Weird but okay I guess that shit is publicly available in registration dbs after all…
Anyways, he seemed innocent enough but boy would he hop skip around point to point. Just as you corner on one thing, they jump to the next. “I’ll show you the source on my phone!” yet he wouldn’t and jumped to the next subject. I asked him to identify his sources for information and he dodged that as well, just vaguely alluding to, “googling.” Really fascinating and kind of fun to interact. I can see why Klepper does it so much lol.
On the flip-side it’s just a bit sad to see people who seem like decent people but are completely led astray and living in an alternative reality. “You’ve been… Living in a dreamworld, Neo.”
People believe in god with a lot less evidence 🤷♂️
