Ohio Gov. DeWine says bomb threats directed at Springfield are coming from overseas.

This is 14 hours old, but I haven't seen this posted here. It's not really breaking so posting it here. The difference is DeWine saying it's coming from overseas.

A threat came into the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus so it's not just Springfield. TFG/JD terrorizing more than just one city the hate is spreading. I thought Cancun Cruz was bad. But when your rhetoric causes bomb and other threats across the state you are supposed to represent it's time to drop out and leave the state. Maybe retire to Venezuela since TFG thinks it's so great.

Gov. Mike DeWine spoke in Springfield Monday, as repeated threats in the city shut down multiple buildings.

The governor confirmed law enforcement have investigated at least 33 separate bomb threats in the state. All of the threats have been determined to be hoaxes. But to better provide an assurance of safety, DeWine said he would dispatch 36 members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol to station them in “every school in Springfield.”

DeWine added that investigators had zeroed in on the origin of the threats, noting they came from overseas and all from the same country.

“We cannot let the bad guys win,” DeWine said. “Our schools must remain open.”

Springfield saw additional national attention again on Sunday, as Sen. J.D. Vance didn’t back down discussing its legal immigrant population and a string of bomb threats in the area. On Monday, one of those threats extended to Columbus, as the Ohio Statehouse closed all of its garage entrances around 10 a.m.

a bomb threat they better be onto them pretty quick, and it would be suspicious if they weren't. At least sophisticated enough people to cover their tracks.

I will leave it to the audience at DU to guess which government I have in mind.

Weird shit, but it works on some people.

But JD Vance, Trump and X members go along with it hook, line and sinker. And that should not be happening.

If you’re in Columbus, then Springfield counts as “overseas.”

"DeWine said he would dispatch 36 members of the Ohio State Highway Patrol to station them in “every school in Springfield.” "

1. I doubt if this is going to be cream-of-the-crop troopers. Probably runny nose, wet behind the ear, bad ass wannabes. That will go turn out fine for those children, especially the targeted minorities, I'm sure.

2.Another step on the slippery slope towards a police state. The corporate MSM overlords will normalize the crap out of this.
