President Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), struck a major nerve with their comments earlier this month on the Haitian invasion of Springfield, Ohio. Now, one far-left non-profit group representing the Haitian community wants them prosecuted for exercising their First Amendment rights.
New 5 Cleveland reported Tuesday that the leader of the nonprofit Haitian Bridge Alliance filed several bogus charges against Trump and Vance in Springfield’s Clark County Municipal Court, for sharing stories about Haitian migrants in the town allegedly eating pets and wildlife, according to the law firm representing the group.
The Cleveland-based Chandra Law Firm, which is representing the non-profit, revealed that the group was able to press charges by utilizing a state statute that allows private citizens to “file an affidavit charging the offense committed.”
Per News 5 Cleveland, here are the charges they filed against the GOP ticket:
Disrupting public service — by causing widespread bomb and other threats that resulted in massive disruptions to the public services in Springfield, Ohio; • Making false alarms — by knowingly causing alarm in the Springfield community by continuing to repeat lies that state and local officials have said were false; • Committing telecommunications harassment — by spreading claims they know to be false during the presidential debate, campaign rallies, nationally televised interviews, and social media; • Committing aggravated menacing in violation — by knowingly making intimidating statements with the intent to abuse, threaten, or harass the recipients, including Trump’s threat to deport immigrants who are here legally to Venezuela, a land they have never known;

They can not “file charges”. They have no jurisdiction because they are not prosecutors. They are a non profit organization listing the crimes that they want to say that Trump and Vance committed. They would need a district attorney or grand jury to “file charges”. Otherwise it’s clickbait and anyone who believes the crap should be embarrassed to comment.
Truth not allowed like he said.
Trump will send the voodoo Haitians to Venezuela? I love it.
Venezuela will gladly take back their most evil vicious criminals before they ever take even a single Haitian. NOBODY in the entire world wants them, except the communist democrats. /spit
I don’t care if there are non-profits, I just don’t want tax money going to them. If people want to make a charitable contribution they should be able to as long as less than 5% of total goes to actual work. The 5% should covers salaries, rent, overhead etc.
Is this supposed to throw a wrench in the investigation of crimes in the Haitian community? Starting with “King George” and his merry band of human trafficker. They should rue the day
The demonrats ALWAYS have standing, because they're "demonrats"....the poor downtrodden. Ask Garland, he'll tell you... (spit)
I’m wondering if the Haitians are catching kitties in live traps.
There is no way any of my cats would allow someone besides me get within 30 feet.
Believe you are correct that the term is not technically correctly used by the article, however there are still a lot of people that say “filing charges” or “pressing charges” when they merely mean alleging some crime to the authorities.
Agreed

“..Any of BBQ’s buddies in Springfield?...”
Probably not. At least not yet. We haven’t heard of any reports of little kids, people etc. being killed, BBQ’ed and eaten, but NOTHING would be a surprise these days....
Whatever they’re doing, the kitties are disappearing.
Unless your a Clinton.
“ I don’t care if there are non-profits, I just don’t want tax money going to them.”
When a person donates to a nonprofit that person does not pay income taxes on that amount of money. This is equivalent to taxpayer money going to that nonprofit. Nonprofits also get special deals insofar as how they have to report who donates to them.
