Pennsylvania police investigating threatening letters sent to minorities signed 'Donald and his Crew

Source: The Hill

High school students in Pennsylvania allegedly wrote letters to minority families telling them non-U.S. citizens should leave the country due to President Trump’s election.

Four minority families in the Swarthmore Borough, about 20 miles east of Philadelphia, received the threatening letters at their homes over the weekend, the Delaware County Daily Times reported Wednesday.

Swarthmore Police Chief Brian Craig told the outlet that the department is investigating the letters.

“Dear Non-U.S. Citizens,” the letter begins. “Due to the our recently elected president, Donald Trump, and his amazing changes, there is now a law against filthy nutheads like yourself living in our country.”

"It is signed “Sincerely, Donald and his Crew, specifically Mike Pence.” It also includes a “#MAGA,” referencing Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again."

A/K/A $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The area voted overwhelmingly for a Democrat in the newly-redrawn 5th Congressional District (previously a part of the crazy gerrymandered 7th Congressional that exists no more) but as one can see, there are pockets of loons in there.

As a note - a group of students at the school that the perps attend (apparently all 4 who were involved were girls) held a walk-out to protest the bigotry - https://6abc.com/education/strath-haven-hs-students-protest-students-involved-in-racist-letter-campaign/4931177/

Attention today an Asian kid found this letter on his door in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania that was typed out by a group of girls from Strath Haven High School in Media, Pennsylvania. The second picture is 2 out of those 4 girls wearing a KKK hood made out of a pillow case.

But have lived long enough to see shitty parents produce good kids and many examples of good parents producing shitty kids.

Steven Miller is poster kid for this. His family has disowned his beliefs since his family included Holocaust survivors.

Find the people who wrote these letters and lock them up forever. Anyone who would do this is too far gone to save.
