Auburn Hills police are still looking for whoever put plastic Easter eggs, containing derogatory and racist flyers, throughout a neighborhood — but the only charge able to be leveled may be littering, Lt. James Manning said today.
“Unless we can show that the person, that the individuals who distributed it were directing it specifically toward somebody as a harassment type deal,” he said.
He said that police “didn’t find anything to indicate they were specifically targeted on one individual, family or race.”
Manning said about two or three dozen eggs were randomly scattered throughout the Auburn Hills neighborhood near Walton and Dexter. Inside, police say, were flyers claiming to be from the Aryan Nations, a white nationalist neo-Nazi group. The flyers, he said, were derogatory toward African Americans and same-sex marriages.
Now I'm not sympathizing with this neo-Nazi group, nor am I saying what they did was ok, but do you think we'd be getting the same reaction if those eggs had nasty messages directed towards white people, or heterosexuals? If that were the case, neither you or I would even know I about it because the press would fail to report it and the police would brush it aside, LIKE IT SHOULD BE. This is ridiculous. People get too offended these days. Grow up, and grow a pair!
If anyone should be offended it should be the little kids who are going to the White House for Obama's "eco friendly" Easter egg hunt, with eggs stamped with the accursed signature of both Barack and Michelle. Talk about putting a damper on the holiday.
