Influx of wild-driving Haitian migrants turning streets of Springfield, Ohio, into combat zone: ‘Eight to 10 accidents a day here’

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — Forget about the ducks and geese allegedly disappearing from public parks. In this beleaguered city, residents say the biggest problem by far is that wild-driving Haitian migrants — unfamiliar with US road laws — are turning the streets into combat zones.

And the results can be deadly. The family of Springfield grandma Kathy Heaton experienced this firsthand on Dec. 1 — a day after her 71st birthday — when a Haitian migrant ran her down while she was collecting her garbage cans.

Kathy was struck so violently that both her socks were left behind on the pavement as her body was thrown across the street. Debris littered the roadway, and clumps of hair were found in the car’s cracked windshield, according to the police report.

But three days later, prosecutors decided that the driver of the car that hit her — 38-year-old Robenson Louis — wouldn’t face charges, even though Mandy said he was driving with expired license plates.

“They didn’t feel that it was anything prosecutable. We don’t know why. The only facts I know are that two prosecutors met and felt there were no charges to be filed. We were devastated,” Mandy said.

Longtime residents say the immigrants are getting temporary driving permits without having to learn how to drive safely in the US — or even knowing how to drive at all.

“There must be eight to 10 accidents a day here,” one resident who asked not to be named told The Post.

“I’ve seen cars drive up into buildings and onto sidewalks. I believe everyone deserves help, but we shouldn’t be providing cars and licenses until people know how to drive here safely.”

The lamestream media won’t cover it until a Haitian drives into a group of black school children and kills them.

Captain James T. Kirk: What I don’t understand is how you were able to identify our counterparts so quickly.

Mr. Spock: It was far easier for you, as civilized men, to behave like barbarians than it was for them as barbarians to behave like civilized men.

Springfielders need to consider getting rid of their mayor. The mayor isn’t one of them.

Taxpayer funded NGOs is my guess. We are all paying for the destruction and chaos that is happening nationwide.

None of this discussion would be in the public forum were it not for Pres. Trump bringing it up during the debate.

Can’t. They are special guests of the DNC. Harm one hair on their retarded little heads and YOU will go to prison for a very long time.

Ask them who their favorite car driver is. I’ll bet they say, Idi Amin’s wife, “Suicide Sarah.”

My guess is that most of these Haitians have never driven a vehicle before.
