Some residents in Bloomington woke up on the morning of Aug. 5 to a disturbing sight. Flyers announcing a “Neighborhood Watch” featuring a hooded person appeared at several locations around the college town. The flyers were meant to be recruitment tools for the Ku Klux Klan.
The Bloomington Police Department opened an investigation into where the flyers came from. Asked for an update on the investigation, Capt. Ryan Pedigo said the department is still trying to figure out who distributed the flyers. Pedigo said the flyers were found in various neighborhoods in Bloomington, and it’s unknown if any locations were chosen for a particular reason.
