Influx of wild-driving Haitian migrants turning streets of Springfield, Ohio, into combat zone

everyone is talking about the death of ducks and cats in this town but I'd like to talk about the death of one very special person my mother-in-law Kathy Heen on December 1st I received a phone call that changed my life forever she was collecting her trash can from her driveway when a car struck and killed her instantly a task she had done over 2,000 times spanning four decades in Springfield that morning though a Haitian immigrant was allegedly driving reckless when he struck and killed her I say allegedly because to this day there's been no punishment not even for the expired tags on the vehicle he was driving months before she was killed I began noticing the reckless driving and complete disregard for our driving laws by some members of the Haitian Community it made me angry but now my anger has turned to fear for the safety of my family and the citizens of Springfield they have not been acclimated to the laws the rights the responsibilities associated with being an American citizen an ohioan or a resident of Springfield especially when it comes to the rules and regulations of operating a motor vehicle well I appreciate the efforts that the Ohio State Patrol and and the governor has announced today we have seen countless incidents in our area of vehicle crashes involving unfortunately people of Haitian descent
