KKK fliers dropped off in Granite Quarry neighborhoods, police looking for culprits

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.

I suggest they visit the local NAACP office to find out who is responsible.

This happens in New Jersey every 6 months or so, the “KKK” distributes fliers in some Podunk town
Just a ways north in the quaint village of Pine Bush, NY just east of the Catskills (ironically, aka the Jewish Alps)some clown claiming to be a klan dragon gets mentioned in the local media from time to time(Times Herald-Record in Middletown) His wife is a member of the school board, there's a sizeable number of Black and Jewish students in this district, and his brother's business sponsors a car club in Newburgh, of mainly Black and Latino 20-somethings who drive around mostly in low riders and "rice rockets". I know, it's crazy. I'd like to be a fly on the wall when that family gets together for Christmas dinner ;)

And you know what, he probably only does it for the attention. The true believers of the KKK are either in nursing homes or 6 feet under by now. The KKK is just a branch of the democratic party, run by the FBI and is only brought out to demonstrate that “racism is still strong in America” just another hoax by our government and the media
