Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio has warned students to be on high alert after someone threatened to shoot Haitians on campus, according to officials. All events and activities scheduled for Sunday have been canceled.
An alert sent to students on Saturday night said the college was taking “extreme precautions” after an email threatened a shooting on campus on Sunday, targeting Haitian members of the community.
“All students, faculty and staff should exercise extreme precaution and be alert to all your surroundings,” the university said in the alert. “If you see anything suspicious or have information about the threat, contact Wittenberg Police Division immediately at the emergency line.”
The alert added: “The Springfield Police Division will increase patrols on-campus tomorrow. If you are on or near campus, prepare for additional instructions or a lockdown if we learn more from the ongoing investigation. All activities are canceled on Sunday, Sept. 15.”
This is all thanks to Donald J Trump. His platform legitimized these actions of terror.
What the heck America. Let’s be better than this.
When people actually start dying, will the Trump campaign continue to fan these flames?
It is really disheartening that some people are eager to believe egregious lies, and wishing that such lies were true, rather than understanding and having compassion for their fellow humans. The video which I’ve seen being circulated around as “evidence of cat-eating Haitians” involved an individual who was not Haitian and was not even from Springfield.
It’s saddening that so many people devote their short lives on spreading hatred and violence when they could be putting efforts into furthering the human race and helping us to advance as a species.
