Still no "I'm sorry."

Sobbing about how she "is biracial and wasn't raised with hate" and how "I live next to Haitians and have no issues with them" and how she now "hates herself for making that post."

All me, me, me. No actual "I'm sorry for what I did. It was wrong, and I won't do it again."

I don't buy the "I have no problems with Haitians" statement either. The post is full of vile racism and lies specifically about Haitians. It doesn't just talk about cats. She also claims shes verified other animals were killed, things we know are a lie.

No one posts that kind of garbage without wanting to vilify a group of people. You don't post this:

Without hate in your heart.

She moved to Springfield from California four years ago, about the time the Haitians started arriving in the community in notable numbers.

This whole casual racism post is so rich coming from someone who was an outsider who moved to Ohio at the same time as the immigrants. She can go back West if she's going around spouting hateful rumors.

Holy shit. Maybe she's the one who has been eating all those pets.

Heard it from my neighbour talking about his friend's husband's cousin's friend, so it must be true.

There is no evidence of pet eating by anybody

Except maybe RFK jr, of course.

He seems to have gone for roadkill

She should be arrested for incitement to riot

[-] silence7@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 month ago

I'd like to see the people who amplified her arrested; the people who have a large audience are the ones who should have known better, and whose amplification created the major issue.

Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit against her.

Defamation or something like that. A false rumor that negatively impacted and incited violence against a marginalized group.
