KKK recruitment flyers are popping up again
They’re at it again: the Ku Klux Klan is recruiting again, dropping little baggies of their poop on people’s lawns. This time a small Pennsylvania town was the recipient of the baggies that contained fliers, rocks and lollipops:
“Are there troubles in your neighborhood?” the fliers read. “Contact the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan today!”
Printed on the crinkled slips of paper was an image of a hooded Klansman pointing a finger in the style of the iconic Uncle Sam recruitment poster, along with something of a slogan: “You can sleep tonight knowing the Klan is awake.” [...]
Similar packages have recently turned up in communities around the country — from California to Kansas to New Jersey — many of them in the roughly 15 months since Dylann Roof allegedly gunned down nine African Americans at a church in Charleston, S.C.
Each incident follows a similar pattern, with residents waking up to find small plastic bags on their front lawns containing pro-KKK missives. The bags are often weighed down by rocks and sometimes come with a few candies stuffed inside.
Just a day after residents in Coudersport discovered the bags on their lawns, nearly identical packages showed up at homes in Whittier, Calif., according to the Los Angeles Times.
On the opposite side of the paper with the hooded Klansmen are messages about African Americans, or gays or immigrants; depending on which part of the country you live in the contents of the baggies of poop may vary.
