Dozens of anti-gay fliers were posted on poles and placed on windshields in MainStrasse, Covington, Kentucky on Thursday. The fliers come just around a week after the arrests of Timothy Searp and Devlin Burke after they attacked a pair of women in that area. The fliers come also after a long string of anti-LGBT crimes targeting the lesbians and gays of that neighborhood.

Covington Police are investigating the origins of the fliers, and the person or persons behind them may face fines for violating the city’s sign ordinance. That ordinance prohibits signs and advertisements being attacked to lamp posts and utility poles. Fines can range from $100 to $500 per violation up to a maximum of $10,000.

Spike Jones, assistant chief with the Covington Police stated “We are locating them and removing the hateful remarks from the public areas. They are violating city ordinances being posted on trees and poles. We are very concerned about the message this flier contains.”

There is no organization signed to the letter. It does ask people to contact the National Alliance, a White Supremacist group which is also anti-LGBT. The fliers are type written and have no pictures. They are also laden with anti-LGBT epithets and calls homosexuality a perversion. It also makes references to serial killers Jeffery Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy. Amazingly, it does not appear to mention the lunatic idea that Adolf Hitler was gay as is being perpetuated by several anti-LGBT groups despite there being any evidence at all.

Most of the fliers were found on Bakewell, Greer, and Willard streets, and City Commissioner Shawn Master tore several them down after he received a call regarding it. The fliers did not disrupt a planned rally to raise funds for an anti-hate crimes campaign being held at six bars in MainStrasse.

Masters has stated “We are still standing united on moving forward with the rally on Saturday. I’ve shared this with the commission. Everyone is pretty appalled by the flier. It just assures us that we will stand even stronger.”

4. Quite the 'specimens,' eh?

It's always the case with these 'white supremacy' types, isn't it? They all resemble something that ended up on the bottom of your shoe after traipsing lightly around the outskirts of the gene pool.

2. Where is the FBI in all this?

I can't believe that it's been left to the local PD. This is a serious situation, which I hope leads to increased scrutiny of these nationwide hate groups. WTF are they waiting for?
