VILLA RICA, Ga. — Neighbors in a Villa Rica neighborhood told Channel 2 Action News they were disgusted to wake up and see recruitment fliers for the KKK in their driveways.
Now they want to make it clear that whoever passed them out shouldn't feel like they can come back.
"You're not welcome here," was the message neighbor Summer Hale wants the Ku Klux Klan to hear.
"We're a friendly, small community, small neighborhood and it scared me," Hale told Channel 2's Matt Johnson.
Johnson said he saw the fliers still on some driveways Tuesday evening in the neighborhood off Brookside Drive and Highway 101.
In August, Johnson reported in Paulding County when neighbors found similar fliers in their driveways near Highway 101 and Buchanan Highway.
Hale thinks whoever left the fliers targeted her neighborhood to try and divide it.
"People are trying to split communities up and make everything into race. It's trying to break us all up I guess," she said.
Tressa Powell has lived in the neighborhood for six years.
"You couldn't ask for a better neighborhood," Powell told Johnson.
But she can't help but worry about her safety after waking up to see the flier in her driveway as well.
"To see something like that thrown in my yard, I'd be scared to even get out by myself now," Powell said.
Now Hale said her neighbors will make sure it's the people responsible for the fliers who feel unwelcome.
"It'll make all of us closer and not divide us and we're going to stand together," Hale said.
It's unclear why specific neighborhoods are receiving the fliers. Authorities have told Johnson that passing out the fliers isn't breaking the law.
