KKK flyers blanket New York town

NBC News – (WNYT/NBC News) - Residents of Fort Plain, New York say they're "disgusted" by KKK recruitment flyers being found around town.

It began about a week ago in a municipal parking lot next to the post office when residents first noticed the flyers on their car windshields inviting them to "love their own race" and join the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

"We don't really have any solid leads currently," said Fort Plain's interim-Police Chief Ryan Austin. "If any leads come in though, we'll run them down thoroughly."

Austin says even if he finds out whose leaving the leaflets, there's probably not much he can do about it since no one has been threatened and anything printed on the leaflet is protected free speech.

"I'd say we don't need those people around here because they have twisted minds," said Joan Eckler, a resident of Fort Plain. "Ever since the election there seems to be a lot of turmoil and disruption and people are trying to make issues out of things that they need to accept whether hey like it or not."
