People who live along Ninth Avenue in Brackenridge say they are disgusted after finding shocking flyers scattered across their neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Morgan Huey told Channel 11 she came home Saturday morning to find dozens of flyers that referenced the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just shook me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
One flyer read \u201creparation for whites,\u201d and another said, \u201cthe Klan is awake.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was crying. I was panicking. I just could not believe that this was happening on my street in this day and age,\u201d Huey said.<\/p>\n
She turned over more than two dozen flyers to authorities.<\/p>\n
Tarentum police posted on social media that the department is aware of what they called \u201chateful flyers\u201d that were distributed sometime between Friday evening and Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
One neighbor believes whoever did this crossed a line.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though what they did is legal in the eyes of the law and the First Amendment, it does not make it okay,\u201d said Angelea Matthews, who lives in Brackenridge.<\/p>\n
The flyers listed the name of a group with a PO box near Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
Channel 11 is not naming the group.<\/p>\n
However, according to NBC affiliate WLWT<\/a>, police in Cincinnati cited the leader of the same group for littering after similar flyers were left in a neighborhood in February.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have no room in our little community for that type of hate,\u201d another neighbor said.<\/p>\n One parent who also found the flyers said the situation forced a difficult conversation at home.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a conversation nobody wants to have with their children,\u201d she said. \u201cI do not want them to be intimidated or threatened or feel unsafe in their own community.\u201d<\/p>\n Tarentum police are asking residents to check any surveillance or doorbell camera footage and contact the department with information regarding who distributed the flyers.<\/p>\n Download the FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n Follow Channel 11 News on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>. | Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n \u00a92025 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n
