Why would rumors about Haitian immigrants promote bomb threats in Springfield, OH?

Question

So, I know about the rumors (cats, dogs, &c.) and I’ve heard about several bomb threats to schools, purportedly from non-US sources.

I don’t understand the connection. Last I checked, no-one was rushing to defend Haiti/Hatians. Who’s behind these threats and why?

Honestly asking: not trying to encourage political mud-slinging.

Answer 1

There are local voices attempting to dismiss these rumors. Attempts to intimidate and retaliate against these local voices would naturally be part of the playbook of those invested in that disinformation.
