JAKARTA - Donald Trump's statement caused fear. Citizens from Haiti, Vilbrun Dorsainvil said he was scared after someone tried to kill him. He fled his country after mentioning the chaos and his community was threatened in the United States.

"Previously, I was not afraid. But now, I can say I am afraid. Now, I am afraid of mass shootings against us. That would be terrible.," Dorsainvil told AlJazeera and reported by VOI, Monday, September 16.

Dorsainvil's fear began when former President Donald Trump repeated a claim that had been denied about migrants in small towns. The small town is about 72 km (45 miles) west of Columbus, the state capital. Trump called the Springfield' three times.

"In Springfield, they eat dogs, people who come, they eat cats," said Donald Trump, who is a Republican United States presidential candidate. "They eat, they eat the pets of the people who live there." he added.

ABC media host David Muir examined Trump's facts on stage. City officials have denied the claims. "No credible reports or specific claims about pets being hurt, injured, or tortured by individuals in the immigrant community," Springfield Mayor Rob Rubber said at a city commission meeting hours before the debate.

Reporting from AlJazeera, the Governor of the Ohio Republic, where Springfield is located, also denied claims that Haitians ate pets. "I think we should trust the city manager and mayor's statement that they found no credible evidence of Haitian stories eating pets," Mike DeWine was quoted as saying by ABC news sites.

No correction can stop the chaos in the real world from happening afterward. On September 12, Springfield City Hall was closed after the bomb threat was "sent to several offices and media." Rue told The Washington Post that the threat "uses hateful language towards immigrants and Haitians in our community". he said.
