Personalized Nazi Flyers Distributed To Montgomery County Mailboxes
Authorities are saying that the distribution of Nazi and white supremacist literature does not qualify as a hate crime.

EAST GREENVILLE, PA — Flyers bearing Nazi and white supremacist messages and drawings have appeared in neighborhoods in Montgomery County, the East Greenville Police Department has confirmed.
Residents in hundreds of neighborhoods around the area have reported finding the flyers in their mailboxes, including in Red Hill, East Greenville, and Upper Perkiomen.
The flyers appear to be both meticulously drawn and often personalized, according to 6ABC. One resident said that he hangs a Kansas City Chiefs flag on his front lawn, and the flyer was addressed to the "Kansas City Chiefs fan."

East Greenville Police said that is was erroneous to describe the letters as being "hand-delivered," although they were obviously placed in each mailbox and not thrown onto lawns.
"This would imply that the person responsible had some sort of interaction with the recipient," the police department argued.
