It’s so sad. I have a bit of an attachment to Springfield since it’s a regular stopover to/from the east coast. It’s right on the highway, with a good barbeque place and plenty of decent midrange hotels.
I get people are trying to make light of the accusations, but they’re placing a target on a group of already-vulnerable immigrants (from Haiti, no less).
