Some residents in Milford are getting a newspaper delivered to their homes for free – the KKK newspaper, The Crusader.
The Crusader, the Ku Klux Klan’s quarterly, has been appearing unsolicited on driveways, yards and porches in Milford for the past few weeks. Police Chief Thomas O’Loughlin even received one with the Arkansas return address of the Knights Party National Office. “I threw it away,” he said, Milford Daily News reported.
“It’s in the late-night hours. They drive down the street and just toss them into driveways,” O’Loughlin said,Boston Globe reported. “They blanket a neighborhood, like three streets.” O’Loughlin said the first incident occurred about four weeks ago and the latest unwanted delivery was over the weekend.
A Milford resident, who is a member of the LGBT community and requested anonymity, posted on Facebook that she found a copy of the paper in her driveway last week, Milford Daily News reported.
She initially thought her family was being targeted until she learned others on her street also received the newspaper, which calls itself “The Political Voice of White Christian America” and “The premier voice of the white resistance.”
