This is Kathy Heaton, a 71-year-old resident of Springfield, Ohio, who was struck and killed in her own driveway by a car driven by a Haitian “refugee” last December. He was driving so fast, and she was struck so hard, that her body was thrown across the street. Police identified the driver but didn’t arrest him and the DA didn’t indict.
WILD-DRIVING HAITIANS TURN STREETS INTO COMBAT ZONES
Springfield’s crime rate has increased by 142% since the 30,000 Haitians arrived in 2021. This increase does not include the car wrecks because they are rarely cited or arrested for the egregious speeding and reckless driving on city streets. Life long residents are being shoved out of their housing because of the massive federal tax dollars being spent on housing vouchers for Biden/Harris’s special Haitians.
Haitians decimating the ducks and geese populations in the town’s two parks is a small problem compared to the danger of just leaving one’s house. In this beleaguered city, residents say the biggest problem by far is that wild-driving Haitian migrants, unfamiliar with Ohio’s safe driving rules and disinterested in learning them, are turning the streets into combat zones. The results have been deadly. The family of Springfield grandma Kathy Heaton experienced this firsthand on December 1, 2023, a day after her 71st birthday, when a Haitian migrant ran her down in her own driveway while she was collecting her garbage cans. The Haitian driver got off scot-free.
Kathy was struck so violently that both her socks were left behind on the pavement as her body was thrown across the street. Debris littered the roadway, and clumps of hair were found in the car’s cracked windshield, according to the police report. But three days later, prosecutors decided that the driver of the car that killed her, 38-year-old Robenson Louis, wouldn’t face charges, even though he was driving with expired license plates and the evidence made it a slam dunk win for prosecutors.
“They didn’t feel that it was anything prosecutable. We don’t know why. The only facts I know are that two prosecutors met and felt there were no charges to be filed. We were devastated,” Mandy, Kathy’s daughter-in-law, said. Police probably didn’t arrest him and the DA probably didn’t indict DUE TO anti-white bigotry, DUE TO fear of being called “racist” & thus losing their government jobs, and DUE TO the fact that Biden/Harris placed these Haitians in a “protected class.”
“8 To 10 Accidents A Day”
Mandy and countless other Springfield residents know the roughly 30,000 Haitians flown in by Biden/Harris, beginning in 2021, are allowed to use the city streets as speedways, often driving without permanent driver’s licenses, without auto insurance and without license plates. The Haitians are getting temporary driving permits without taking any driving lessons, nor proving they can operate a vehicle, like Americans must do. Virtually none of them have ever driven a car in Haiti.
“There must be eight to 10 accidents a day here,” one resident said. He feared harassment from the powers that be in Springfield who are covering for Haitians’ misbehavior, and asked not to be named. “I’ve seen cars drive up into buildings and onto sidewalks. I believe everyone deserves help, but we shouldn’t be providing cars and licenses until people know how to drive here safely.” Say what? WHO is providing them cars?
MANDY IS SCARED EVERY TIME SHE GOES ANYWHERE
Residents have posted alarming footage on social media, showing cars in ditches, smashed up at intersections, flying across the road into oncoming traffic, and even crashed through homes and businesses.
Mandy and her family are seeing such wrecks on a regular basis which has left them “constantly stressed and anxious” to do things as basic as walking through a parking lot and going for a drive with her young twins. “Haitians are going the wrong way down one-way streets, making unlawful U-turns in the middle of the roadways, damaging property by driving recklessly, there’s been some street signs taken out, people have had their garages wrecked,” she said.
Insurance rates for all drivers in Springfield and the surrounding area have increased dramatically because car wrecks have skyrocketed and the victims’ insurance carriers must pay for the damage. Haitians don’t bother to buy car insurance even if they have driver’s licenses. Apparently, based upon still shots and videos of the wrecked cars, the Haitians all drive newer cars. Who is paying for these cars? And, if the Haitians buy cars on loans, don’t creditors require insurance, like they do for American borrowers? Or, in Kamala’s Brave New World, is car insurance considered “racist?”^
HAITIANS KILLED TWO AMERICANS
Mandy’s mother-in-law is not the only fatality caused by a speeding Haitian driver. Four months before Kathy Heaton was struck and killed by Louis, 11-year-old Aiden Clark was killed when 35-year-old Hermanio Joseph, who was driving so fast his SUV actually caused the full-sized school bus to flip over, crushing little Aiden underneath. Joseph did not have a driver’s license. At least 20 other kids were hospitalized. Earlier this year, Joseph was convicted of vehicular homicide. THAT begs the question: why did the same prosecutor who indicted Joseph, not indict Louis? Didn’t Louis hurt enough Americans to justify punishment?
NOTE: Aiden’s father has so little pride, he believes his own “whiteness is bad,” and thus the whiteness of his deceased son. He and Aiden’s mother moved into “diversity is our strength” fantasyland, and held a press conference recently to say “I wish that my son, Aiden Clark, was killed by a 60-year-old white man.” I am perplexed, at the same time he is criticizing Ohio’s US Senator & VP candidate, JD Vance, President Trump & others for “using Aiden’s name,” he is “using Aiden’s name” to promote the “Living for Aiden Walk out of Darkness T-Shirt.”
Springfield’s driving problem has attracted such attention that Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced last week that, in addition to $2.5 million in aid, he would be sending additional State Highway Patrol troopers to Springfield to help maintain order on the roads. He expressly stated this money was to be used to help Haitians, NOT to help the beleaguered & homeless Americans whose lives have been upended by these “newcomers.” How will the corrupt Springfield City Commission use that money? For over three years they have been ignoring the needs of their American residents and fawning all over Biden/Harris’s “newcomers.”^
On Tuesday, Mandy and her husband, Chris, gave emotional testimony to the Springfield City Commission, asking lawmakers to pass “Kathy’s Law,” which would require all immigrants seeking an Ohio driver’s license to go through the same tests and regulations required of first-time American drivers. “We will push to enforce the same restrictions that my 7-year-old twins who lost their grandmother that night will have to follow when they seek to obtain a license,” Kathy’s son said.
Say What? Biden/Harris’s newcomers in Ohio are exempt from the laws Americans must follow?
Biden/Harris’s newcomers, both legal & illegal, are ruining neighborhoods all over the United States. Just a few examples: Texas & Washington - Colorado - Georgia, California, Washington & New York - North Carolina, California, Massachusetts & New York - Colorado, again. I call them “super citizens” because, for the most part, they don’t have to follow the laws Americans must follow.
Great article Diane, This nonsense is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. The left is destroying the fabric of America.
This crap ain't happening in Florida. If it did, it would happen once. There would be no one to prosecute. The rest of the animals would get the message.
