Chicago police investigate hate speech flyers aimed at Jewish community in Andersonville

CHICAGO - The Chicago Police Department is investigating after hate propaganda was found on several cars in the Andersonville neighborhood.

According to police, 40 to 50 flyers that targeted members of the Jewish community were discovered on several vehicles in the 5400 block and 5500 block of North Magnolia.

The flyers, which pushed hate speech aimed at Jews, even suggested readers go to a website that had even more hate speech on it.

"I left the house this morning with my kids to take them to some activities, and I noticed a piece of cardboard on my windshield face down," said Gwane Jacobson.

Once Jacobson flipped it over, she was shocked.

"In black marker handwriting it said, Jews were behind 9/11.’ I looked down the street and noticed every single car down my block had a similar piece of cardboard," Jacobson said.

The Anti-Defamation League says Illinois ranks number 11 when it comes to white supremacist propaganda being pushed across the country.

"It is not what most Chicagoans stand for and I hope that everyone hearing this helps them pushback," said Jake Kurz, of the Anti-Defamation League.

Police say the messages of hate were believed to have been left on vehicles between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
