This from the Kokomo Tribune: BUNKER HILL – Officials say recruitment fliers for the Ku Klux Klan were found last month around different areas of Eagle’s Pointe, the large subdivision located directly beside Grissom Air Reserve Base.
Residents reported finding an undetermined number of fliers inside plastic bags, mostly laying on sidewalks and streets, sometime on or around the weekend of June 27.
A picture of the leaflets provided to the Tribune show a hooded KKK figure with a message below that said “Neighborhood Watch” and “Do your part to keep white communities safe and report all suspicious activity!!! You can sleep tonight knowing the Klan is awake!!!”
The flier then states “Join Us Today,” and lists a telephone number and email address.
Heather Ventura, head of compliance for Young Management Corp., which rents out a large number of properties in the housing addition, said other residents also expressed dismay over the fliers.
Ventura said the subdivision doesn’t permit soliciting, but because it’s such a large area, that’s nearly impossible to enforce. She also noted the management company has made it a policy not to rent any of its public areas to hate groups.
Miami County Sheriff Tim Hunter said officers were made aware of the incident, but no other activity has been reported since the fliers were found.
“To be honest, I expected to hear a little bit more, but I haven’t heard of anything other than the fliers,” he said Wednesday. “To this point, it hasn’t gone any further than the fliers, to my knowledge.”
The dump of the leaflets came three weeks after a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Peru that drew around 300 people.
