Haitian Group Files Criminal Charges Against Trump, Vance

A Haitian organization in Ohio filed criminal charges against former President Trump and running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Tuesday, alleging the pair has caused harm by spreading baseless smears about Haitian immigrants.

The big picture:

Trump and Vance have continuously amplified a false online conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio, elevating an internet rumor to the national stage.

The FBI is investigating threats and intimidation of Haitians in Springfield " many of whom are living and working there legally.

Comments

"The head of Haitian Bridge Alliance brought charges on behalf of the organization Tuesday in Clark County Municipal Court under an Ohio statute that allows private citizens to file criminal charges.

The nonprofit is asking the court to affirm there is probable cause that Trump and Vance committed crimes and to issue arrest warrants for both men.

The charges include disrupting public service, making false alarms, committing telecommunications harassment, committing aggravated menacing and violating the prohibition against complicity."

Wouldn't it be ironic if Trump was frog-walked on these charges before any other, lmao.

Good.

All Trump and Vance are doing is spreading hate and forming lynch mobs.

They may think America was better in 1824, when white men could legally lynch Black people for any reason they wanted.

But there no room for anyone who thinks like them in modern day America.

#4 is right...

They started a fire in the Haitian neighborhood... the political kind that can be more damaging than a real fire. And they should not treat the country like they are above the law.

Because they aren't.

If this is how JD Vance treats his constituents in Ohio how will he treat you?

There's no way Trump's SCOTUS would allow anything to come of this, of course.

Jill Stein 2024! What have you got to lose?

If you were referring to my comment, remember "Tragedy plus time equals comedy."

Maybe you'll find it more humorous in about 40 years when the last Dubbya/Trump justice leaves SCOTUS.

"An Ohio court should issue arrest warrants for Donald Trump and JD Vance for spreading false rumors that Haitians immigrants are eating dogs and cats, the attorney taking the case against them has said.

Subodh Chandra, who is bringing a criminal case against Trump and Vance on behalf of the Haitian Bridge Alliance advocacy group, told Newsweek that the court can either issue arrest warrants or refer the case to prosecutors for further investigation.

"The statute requires the court, after affirming that there is probable cause, to issue arrest warrants or refer the matter to the prosecutor for further investigation," Chandra said."

"Chandra added:

"What we do know is this. If anyone else had relentlessly done what Vance and Trump have done, with the havoc that they have wreaked"33 bomb threats, school, college and government building evacuations and closures, threats to the mayor and his family, even after the governor and mayor told them they were disseminating falsehoods"they would've been arrested by now."

Haitian group files criminal charges

Good! Demagogues need to be held responsible for their bad acts. The only entities that politicians should be able to bad mouth/defame are other politicians.

It's been reported that Rudy G has now lost his license to practice law in DC. That, and the huge monetary judgement against him, should serve as a wake-up call for Trump's other minions.
