It's a free country, but...
I suppose people like to get busy promoting their causes now and then, but I dislike having things shoved down my throat. And if white supremacists put fliers on car windshields, how did they know they were putting the fliers on car windshields that belong only to white people? If they've been watching the neighborhood to see exactly who lives there, it begins to sound a bit creepier than just flier distribution sounds. It's hard to believe folks have nothing better to do than to stalk a neighborhood in order to promote their pet cause. All they probably did was to make a lot of nervous residents in those neighborhoods they targeted, even if their distribution was not based on profiling those residents. I fail to see how the young men think that this behavior will gain them friends, particularly when they slip in and slip out, like thieves in the darkness. In the end, these sorts of actions never seem to hold up to reason and logic anyway, so I hope the whole matter will be soon forgotten
