PEORIA -- A hate group with a Peoria post office box may be circulating a flier in the Peoria area that contains a Nazi swastika and racist attacks on Jews and African Americans.
A friend recently found the flier left on a copier at a local copy shop.
It contains an appeal to "everyday white Peorians" who "live in fear of being murdered, raped and robbed" by "dangerous beasts." And it doesn't mean bears or tigers, who don't rob or rape, incidentally.
The flyer uses the N-word, and talks about "Jews lies of diversity and equality." (sic)
The friend notified Peoria police, but they shrugged off the complaint, saying the flier is legal under free speech laws, which is true. It's also not that unusual, they told my friend. They've seen this stuff before, apparently.
How sad.
