More bomb threats hit Springfield, Ohio, after Trump elevates false claims about Haitians

Hospitals were sent into lockdown, government buildings shut down and local schools evacuated

Two hospitals in #Springfield, Ohio, were sent into #lockdown after #bomb #threats, police said on Saturday,
marking ♦️the fourth such case in as many days that appears ♦️linked to false claims circulating among the far right that Haitian #immigrants there are #eating domestic #pets and wildlife.

Saturday’s threats came 🔸even after the woman who started the rumors acknowledged to NBC News that they were #unfounded and publicly apologized.🔸

#Kettering Health Springfield was one of the medical facilities targeted, with officials later saying they found nothing suspicious during a search. Another hospital, #Mercy Health’s Springfield regional medical center, received a similar threat.

A spokesperson with Mercy Health said the hospital had continued to operate and thanked Springfield police as well as hospital staff “for their swift, efficient and caring response”.

The bomb threats on Saturday came after others had been called in to #government #buildings Thursday, forcing their closure and causing local #schools to be #evacuated.
“We recognize that the past few days have been particularly challenging for everyone in our community,” Springfield police said in a statement. Police added “we remain fully committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of each and every person”.

On Friday, a Springfield woman,
👉#Erika #Lee, #apologized for rumors about Haitian immigrants eating pets that resulted from a post she wrote on Facebook claiming that the friend of a neighbor’s daughter lost her cat – and then found the animal strung up outside the home of a Haitian family.

🔸Lee now says she had no firsthand knowledge of the claim. The neighbor referenced in the post, Kimberly Newton, revealed that she also had heard the story from an acquaintance and not her daughter.
Lee said she was filled with regret and insists she never intended to put a target on the backs of the Haitian community.

“It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Lee told NBC News on Friday.
❇️Local authorities in Springfield had already debunked the lies even 🔸before #Donald #Trump made the allegation that Haitian immigrants were eating pets during the debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
Lee told the outlet she never imagined her social media post would become fodder for #conspiracy #theories and #hate aimed at the Haitian community in Springfield.

#FBI ofcl reiterated those findings on Wed in a call w/reporters. They suggested that the gunman, who also considered attacking a #Biden event, was seeking infamy & selected the #Trump rally as a “target of opportunity.”…

The provocative rhetoric from Trump & his allies isn’t just #unfounded but also carries a #disturbing risk: #Threat assessment & #law enforcement leaders have told me that the messaging is fueling the danger of #PoliticalViolence headed into the #election. …

The #NSA, is well-known for our #transparency and #accountability. So it should come as no surprise that we completely deny any allegations that we are using our vast resources and technological expertise to create a massive database of every electronic #communication in the world, known as the "Thought Net" to build an AI to track and monitor your thoughts. Because why would we ever want to do something like that?

Sure, we may have a history of secret #surveillance and a reputation for being one of the most #technologically advanced agencies in the world, but that doesn't mean we would ever use those #capabilities for anything #nefarious. It's not like we have any interest in controlling the global economy, influencing #political elections, or starting wars. That would be ridiculous.

Of course, it's easy for us to sit here and say that this conspiracy theory is completely #unfounded and without any basis in fact. But don't just take our word for it. After all, we would never lie to you. That would go against everything we stand for as an agency.

In conclusion, the idea that the NSA is using the #ThoughtNet to #control and #manipulate the thoughts and actions of people is just silly. We're a #government agency, not a group of #EvilMasterminds. So please, feel free to continue to believe in this wild #ConspiracyTheory if it makes you feel better. It's not like we can stop you anyway.
