BTW I've been scouring the internet to find actual immigration statistics for Charleroi. A 2,000% increase could just mean they had 1 immigrant, and now they have 20, LOL.
All I can find are people repeating the 2,000% increase line, without any references.
100 to 2000. And more importantly, now there are 6000 living in a town built for 4000, and 1/3 speak no or little English or read English. But they are all getting driver’s licenses!
I don’t doubt you, but where is the actual data? Just curious.

I will point out that in 2020, Charleroi had a noted feral cat problem that seems to have been resolved in recent years…

And this is how the rumor got started ...

All this reminds me of a window sticker I saw on a truck yesterday. Classy!
Wow, he’s eating that pussy like a Haitian!

The possible reason the story continues to stick to the wall:
The glee with which influencers pounced on the kitten story highlights a curious feature of Russian propaganda and disinformation: its fascination with race and immigration.
It's obvious why Russia would want to spread negative stories about Ukraine, or positive stories about Putin. It's less obvious why it would want to spread stories about Haitian migrants hunting cats.
But race and immigration are constant themes running through the background documents gathered during the FBI's investigation of Russian state broadcaster RT's alleged scheme to pay an American firm $10 million to, in the words of the U.S. Department of Justice, create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.

Well, nobody’s going to be talking about cats tomorrow. A 1-year-old in Charleroi just got hit by a car. In his yard.

By a Haitian?

Not corroborated yet, but Haitians were on hand.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
