Racist/Antisemitic Flyers Outrage Burton Residents

Police in Genesee County are investigating after residents are up-in-arms over racist and antisemitic flyers that being left in plastic bags in driveways containing an unknown substance.

According to local officials, there has been more chatter and comments on social media than anything else, although they have received several calls from residents concerned about both the unknown substance in the bags and the literature on the flyer itself.

According to police, the website is even worse. A local police chief said, 'It's basically anti-everything.' Not only does the main site also feature incredibly racist content, it's also heavily antisemitic, anti-Biden and anti-Trump. Basically against anything you can possibly think of. We will not provide the website here.

Where are the Flyers Being Distributed in Mid-Michigan?

Apparently, this sort of this has happened in the past in Michigan. But this new wave of disturbances is centered in Burton. But Police Chief Brian Ross says that there have been reports of the same thing happening in Clio.

Chief Ross says that Burton residents can simply throw the bags away or contact the Burton police anytime if you feel uncomfortable disposing of the packages.
