KKK recruitment fliers found with Halloween candy in Leesburg

Source: WUSA

LEESBURG, VA. (WUSA9) - Police are investigating after KKK recruiting material was passed out with Halloween candy in Leesburg, Va.

According to the Leesburg Police Department, two reports were made Sunday after residents found Ziplock bags with KKK recruiting material and candy in the downtown historic area of town -- the 200 block Cornwall Street and the 300 block Whitney Place.

When officers arrived they found more bags of the materials and candy thrown in neighbors' front yards.

"Cartoons that were vile and disgusting and include cartoon characters of what were obviously meant to be Jewish people, a black person’s head," Bronwyn Duffy described.

The material was collected as evidence and sent to the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Every time there is some new outrage, he wants to send a check to the SPLC. I keep trying to find other things we can do to help.
