KKK fliers dropped off in Granite Quarry neighborhoods, police looking for culprits
WBTV3 (Charlotte, NC) ^ | 12/23/15

Authorities in Granite Quarry are looking for the people responsible for littering several locations with Ku Klux Klan notes.

Granite Quarry-Faith Joint Police Authority Chief Mark Cook told WBTV that someone dropped the fliers in various locations sometime before noon on Monday. The fliers, which start off with "Merry Christmas," go on to read "Join the Klan today and preserved the white Christian ways."

Fliers without the Christmas message that read "Join The Klan And Save Our Land" were also reportedly dropped off at several places in Iredell County.

The fliers are from the East Coast Knights of the True Invisible Empire, a group out of Pennsylvania. Police said they seemed to be tossed out at random locations. Officers canvassed neighborhoods and destroyed about 30 fliers that they found.

"It was disappointing to say the least to see this ignorant message of hate littered in our Town by a member(s) of a known hate group, masked in a Christmas message," Chief Cook wrote in a letter to WBTV. "Our community and department does not condone or support any such activity or the spreading of hate."

Chief Cook continued, "It is my hope that those that try to spread their message of hate would open their mind and heart and seek to bring unity instead of spreading messages of ignorance and division; especially during this holiday season."

Police believe the person dropping off the flier was driving a small dark-colored car with a loud muffler. They say there’s nothing in the flyer that is a hate crime or hate speech, but officers are still looking for whoever dropped the packages in people's yards.

"We’re at least looking at charging them with littering and then contacting the state and local officials that deal more with hate crime involvement,” Chief Cook said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Granite Quarry Police.

Apparently not enough donuts and coffee to much and slurp up in that town, so the police got involved.

Bet they wouldn’t investigate a mosque distributing hate?

Almost 100% sure this a false-flag action by some racists, for example, “Black Lives Matter” or ‘progressive’ idiots like them.

“”It was disappointing to say the least to see this ignorant message of hate littered in our Town by a member(s) of a known hate group, masked in a Christmas message,” Chief Cook wrote in a letter to WBTV.”

The police chief should search the local rat party headquarters for the culprits, and then get deported to North Korea for acting like a commie for attempting to squash free speech.

This is to get blacks all wee-weed up so they will vote Democrat/Hillary and not stray over to Donald Trump and a better future. fake KKK is an old, very old, trick. These so called KKK flyers were not even illegal. The idea of it will get Liberals heads exploding—almost as bad if they were Trump flyers. Thats coming the so called “kkk endorsment” of Trump—to scare off Black voters.

Instead of this dumbass PD rounding up some illegal alien criminals for deportation they are going to find those evil KKK perps who are prolly black anyways.

I messed up. It’s ‘creating a nuisance’ not ‘disturbing the peace’. Damn! But, yes, there’s a group W bench in there, somewhere.

My thoughts exactly then I saw in the story the area was “littered” with fliers.

If these were “Black Lives Matter” fliers, would the cops be looking for them? Let me guess.

I have no more love for KKK @sswipes than I`d have for BLM sh!t for brains, but passing out flyers should not be illegal, provided they are not calling for out right violence and murder. After all, there is the ‘little matter’ of that pesky old 1st Amendment thingie.

All of America supported having servants or slaves. The nation was founded with it being legal.

This happens in New Jersey every 6 months or so, the “KKK” distributes fliers in some Podunk town and the NJ media (Star Ledger) goes Ape-shiat over it, it is just so they can blame the republicans for hate crimes. When in reality the KKK membership is pretty much all undercover FBI agents these days
