KKK Flyers Found In Neighborhoods Around NoVA

Multiple reports indicate KKK flyers are being distributed in Alexandria and neighborhoods surrounding Falls Church.

ARL Now reported Wednesday that residents in the East Falls Church area of Arlington found the flyers outside their homes. "You wouldn’t expect it in Arlington," resident Eliza Thompson told ARLNow. "It’s just not the area you’d think the KKK would be recruiting out of."

Similar reports came from Marshall Street in the Falls Church area of Fairfax County, the Falls Church News-Press reported Tuesday. One resident reported the finding on Nextdoor and learned other neighbors had found the same thing.

A third report emerged out of Alexandria last weekend. Alexandria Times reported Thursday that residents in Old Town Village discovered flyers with anti-Semitic messages and KKK chapter information. Alexandria Police spokesperson Crystal Nosal told Patch in an email 14 houses received the flyers and police took a report.

The Alexandria and Arlington reports both indicated the flyers came in bags filled with birdseed.

These discoveries come after flyers were found in Prince William County, parts of Loudoun County and Fredericksburg this year alone. In the spring, a local newspaper in Westmoreland County and Colonial Beachwas forced to apologize after printing a KKK recruitment flyer on its first page, according to Newsweek.

The KKK has been long been identified as one of the oldest and most vile hate groups in the U.S. by the The Southern Poverty Law Center.
