Houston area littered with antisemitic, racist flyers

Source: The Hill

Two neighborhoods in Houston were littered with racist and antisemitic flyers over the weekend, about a week after residents in a separate area of the city woke up to similar hate messages.

A Harris County resident told CNN she found 400 flyers tucked inside plastic bags around two neighborhoods in the Houston area on Sunday. They featured messages of hate, including an image of Adolf Hitler and the caption "We can do it again."

The Hill has reached out to the Harris County Sheriff's Office for comment.

Cypress, a community in Harris County, experienced a spate of hate messages last week. According to KHOU 11, men in ski masks distributed the flyers across the area, placing them in front of homes and on cars.

Both of them have moved back to the Bay Area. One because their daughter in law was a assolini supoorter and anti vaccine. They are both seniors and the other was a Jewish Silicon Valley fund manager. His kids were constantly being attacked because they are Jewish.

Perhaps instead of musing, "what have the democrats done for me lately?", they should shift to, "what will the republicans do to me?".

even visited. I lived in H for over 20 years and lived away from it for another 20. It is an amazingly diverse place and I constantly miss that diversity as I am stuck in the white small town creepiness of backward rural Texas, especially as my liberal friends die off with no replacements.

I believe it is an outside group trying to stir up hatred. They also had an afternoon rally here where they tried to stop traffic on a street. They were cleared out fairly quickly. Unfortunately, not long after that incident someone set fire to a nearby synagogue. As far as I’m concerned, these people are domestic terrorists and need to be treated as such.
