Chico, CA – Several Chico neighborhoods were littered with antisemitic flyers.
There were at least three different versions of the fliers found at homes on Dale Way, Manzanita Avenue and Howard Drive.
They were in plastic bags with pebbles inside, just like the antisemitic flyers found in towns nearby a few months before.
One woman who lives in the area, Shay Greaney said she is disgusted by the flyers.
“The fact that this is the third time that this has happened and that these are showing up on people’s houses is incredibly disgusting… that people feel so strongly to spread hateful speech. That’s just a sad thing about humanity and it’s sad to see it in your community, but it also says a lot about American society. Chico is not isolated from America and this is not the only place that things like this are happening,” Greaney told Action News Now.
Multiple residents from the area said once they saw the content of the papers, they immediately threw them in the trash.
One homeowner on Dale Way told Action News Now she got several antisemitic fliers thrown onto her lawn that morning, and this is not the first time.
She says it’s been a problem on her street for years.
Chico police will be increasing patrol in the area, but because the fliers are protected by the first amendment, there’s not much else police can do.
