Prominent conservatives are blaming recent immigration from Haiti after a woman in Ohio was arrested for allegedly eating a cat.
The only problem? The woman has lived in America for the past six years.
The allegations arose over the weekend after right-wing users on social media discovered that a 27-year-old woman was charged last month with injuring animals, prohibitions concerning companion animals, and disorderly conduct.
The woman, Canton resident Allexis Telia Ferrell, reportedly “stomped on the cat’s head to kill the animal before eating it in a residential area in front of multiple people” on Aug. 16, according to Fox News.
if theres one thing conservatives love to do, its racism.
thats it. theyll take any seedy story that happens to highlight a minority and boost it up as if its happening on every street corner. cuz racism.
I remember an interesting story about immigrants coming up from Central America for jobs in meat processing plants.
The area was a typical republican stronghold of small town America.
Anyhow, the story was mostly an interview with the Sheriff in the area, who had to deal with constant reports of “demonic sacrifice” because the immigrants raised goats and slaughtered them- like they always had done.
Which, there sheriff’s tone was “this is all very awkward and it’s stupid that we have to deal with this.” He made a point that it was all legal and “ now within code,” (guessing there was some building code type stuff,)
In any case I found it odd that he didn’t mention that demonic sacrifice wasn’t illegal either.
In any case, people will believe all sorts of bullshit about “others”.
