SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) — Wednesday evening in Springfield, community members gathered in peaceful protest of the false claims about Haitians.

On Park Road in Springfield, there was a parade of residents showing that hate has no home in the city. Signs displayed messages to the Haitian community that they have support.

“Especially us as Haitians… we need unity here. We need a Springfield united. So this sends out a big message. For those who have been spreading false information, now they can see we are not bad people,” said Jacob Payen, Haitian Community Alliance spokesperson.

That support is reaching the Haitian community directly. Less than ten minutes from Park Road, you will find Rose Goute Creole Restaurant. The Haitian restaurant has been packed with patrons, all to show support in the face of uncertainty.

“We just wanted to come down and support the Haitian restaurant and the Haitian people,” said Columbus resident Bethany Fleisher.

Springfield YMCA getting $343K renovation “We drove over here to show our solidarity with the Haitian community here,” said Columbus resident Jack Decker.

“If we can support them in any way, and kind of push back against the people who are obstructing them, then that’s a good reason to come,” said Yellow Springs resident David Hergesheimer.

There needs to be more effort to assimilate migrants into our culture. What we’re experiencing here in the Springfield area is reverse assimilation, our community is turning into Haiti where they do not and are not forced (still driving without insurance) to follow the law.

Where have you been for the past 8 years?

Every time these types of controversies pop up, Trump is almost ALWAYS vindicated in the end.

The only 2 exceptions are the election fraud and Barry’s birth certificate. Although, I am certain he was right about those too, he just hasn’t been vindicated yet.

If you do a “cui bono?” type of retrospective analysis, I can’t think of any other way to see it other than that “the left” won.

Do you think that the American and British boys dying in Europe in 1944 (my great uncle included) were doing it so their great granddaughters could be raped by Pakistanis or so their great grandsons could perform sodomy in public?

Do you think either of those things would have happened if the war went the other way? Of course it is impossible to know what other, unanticipated negative consequences would come with it and which outcome was ultimately better for humanity....but it is pretty easy to say that this outcome is the most “left” of the two options.

Even if they imported 20K British (the old type of British) and put them in a town of 60K Americans (the old type of Americans) ....there would still be TONS of conflict and strife as the 2 groups jockeyed for position and leverage in the community.

Now instead of 1st world British, replace the 20K population with 80 IQ, demon worshipping savages and you are going to have a REAL problem on your hands.

Some city official at a public mtg said he’d received lots of reports of bad stuff to pets but his sources all wanted to be anonymous. Maybe somebody should ask the media why ordinary citizens would be afraid to speak on the record. The guy leading the mtg spoke over the official and said so there is no proof.

Shennanigans. Seems some leftist groups are snatching up Vivek event tickets, keeping us locals from attending. will be outside instead, i guess. Warning for organizers if Trump comes here.

Sounds like a lot of “solidarity” going on in Springfield. LOL! I hope all of those who attended took a Hungry Haitian with a “doggie bag” home with them.

He may be vindicated “in the end” after it is too late and the damage is done in the voting booth.

He has been vindicated on both but the media and legal system won’t allow the truth out.

The 3 supposed “letters of verification” of Obama’s HI birth were not certified. They had the HDOH director’s raised seal but not her signature as required by law. The only lawful reason to fail to give a certified verification to a qualified requestor is if HI has no legally valid birth certificate. IOW HI has officially verified that they have no valid BC for Obama. But the media claims the opposite so that’s what people believe.

I've seen Haitian restaurants with two tables in them, so they say it was "packed", what 20 people. Where was the fire Marshall?

Yep ... nice little “gathering” no doubt paid for by the NGOs assisting (funneling kickbacks) with transporting these INVADERS.

Luckily they’re not touring now but Brian Setzer and his band* should avoid that area as their life depends on it.

* One of Brian Setzer’s bands is the Stray Cats.

Like many bands from the 70's and 80's, they continue to lose members.

Anyone know when all of the Chinese restaurants will get fed up and band together to end this as the Haitians are poaching their cats? Should be a riot soon.
