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.

Here's that blog post with the full recap of my recent trip to #Hobart

There's a handful of photos in here that I'm really stoked on.

I added all the camera and lens settings meta-data to each photo as best I could.

An unused piece of land in Kettering has been transformed into place for wildlife. It has been reconnected to the River Ise, having been disconnected in the 1800s when the railway was built. It will now be accessible to the public to enjoy the wildlife.

At a Salvation Army site in Kettering, heavily worn polyester clothing is being recycled into pellets which can then be turned back into textile. The factory will eventually process 5000 tonnes annually.

I just went to a #veganmarket in #kettering and came away with a few goodies.
Some huge #doughnutz, arancini from #VeganSweetToothLondon, wild garlic seitan sausage, stinging nettle cheeze, and wild garlic cheeze from #TheGreenCheeseExperience, and a delicious battered 'tofish' and chips, with vegan tartare from #SavingNemo.
There were other stalls selling handmade jewelery, cakes, bakery and patisserie foods, and a vegan loaded hotdog van from #Vausages. It was very hard not to spend all my money...
