Threat forces evacuation, closure at Springfield Ohio, City Hall amid immigration controversy

See what Vance/ tRump and MAGAS have done for the power of a campaign distraction....


Springfield City Hall will remain closed on Thursday following a bomb threat.


In a statement, a city spokesperson said the city was alerted of a bomb threat via email around 8:24 a.m. on Thursday, prompting an evacuation of the building.

“Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of our employees and residents. We are working to address this situation as swiftly as possible,” the statement read.

Officials are asking the community to avoid the area around City Hall while the investigation is being conducted.

News Center 7 has a crew on the scene. They report a large police presence, including officers from other jurisdictions such as Dayton Police.

Anyone with information on the threat or who has seen any suspicious activity is asked to contact the Springfield Police Division.

...against their self-serving B.S., more and more people will be learning therecs no consequences to putting others in danger for their own personal gain, and so even when trump is gone, we will still be dealing with his B.S.

Those poor people!

All because mean people wanted to repeat a false racial stereotype to make a joke about animal abuse. How is abuse of any kind material for jokes?

He can try to go back to the happy guy he was in his bindi wearing wedding picture, admit to his kids and wife he failed as both a husband and father, and plead for forgiveness. He is still young enough to make things right with his family.

He should go back and read the first half of his best selling mediocre book. The second half where he started getting pumped with toxic right wing nonsense is where his life really started to go to hell.

is the only thing.

These people don't think about normal things.

These people are easily directed. Amazingly easily directed.

Something foreign to us, but it is a life for them. And remember, they think that they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Sad.

I live say 18 miles west of Springfield Ohio.

The MAGA's there have been bitching/ trashing the Haitians for a good 3 years.... Vance seized the opportunity to use his storm trooper style followers to keep the distraction going...

In retrospect... The Haitians have actually been an asset to Springfield....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism

Stochastic terrorism is political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric which is directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.[1] A key element is the use of social media and other distributed forms of communications where the person who carries out the violence has no direct connection to the users of violent rhetoric.[2]

Sorry to hear about Springfield under attack by Trump and his terror organization. You get to be close to it all.
They do this because they know they can't win in a fair fight. And this is in their tool chest because they have EXTREMELY loyal supporters who wll do their bidding.

Logic won't work on them.
The only cure is to vote them out of office.

Are the Haitians going to vote for Kamala?
