Related: About this forumRacist hateful flyers have been spotted in Houston neighborhoods
This is disturbing. My son is building a house in this neighborhood

The answer was neither. Instead, Ayarzagoitia, 57, opened the bag and found a flyer with a picture of Adolf Hitler, along with some rocks to weigh the bag down. When he logged onto the neighborhood-based social media app Nextdoor after getting home, he learned he wasnt the only one. Others found flyers with swastikas and slogans reading White Lives Matter.....
Its the latest in a series of comparable incidents that have befallen the Houston area in recent months. Last February, an Atascocita subdivision was bombarded with white supremacist flyers similarly packaged with rocks in plastic baggies. A week before that, more hateful flyers were found on car windshields and front doors throughout a northwest Harris County neighborhood.
Houston police said they received reports of flyers in neighborhoods throughout the Greater Heights, and they asked anyone with relevant information to step forward.
The Houston Police Department is aware of flyers with divisive messaging and propaganda distributed this weekend in various neighborhoods. We take this type of incident very seriously and are investigating the matter to the fullest extent, a police spokesperson said.

they may have caught someone on camera here. Now it's matter of getting the cops on it.

(14,997 posts)3. Yeah, but if there is that photo, these days, you'd think someone had one of whoever
did it. I know I probably get photographed almost every day on my morning walk. There have been a couple crimes solved in my neighborhood that way. One of my buddies has one showing his boat and RV and I flip him off or wave whenever I go by.
