Racist Fliers Left In Neighborhood Where 2 Teens Died
DEERFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- The neighborhood that was the scene of a murder-suicide last week was blanketed Tuesday moing with racist fliers.
Police said Amanda Borsos was shot and killed Aug. 3 by her ex-boyfriend, Troy Penn, in Deerfield Township. It was Borsos' 17th birthday.
The fliers were left on cars in the area where Borsos was killed. The fliers were addressed to "White Parents," with a headline that read, "Don't Let Your Daughters Date Blacks, It Might Be A Matter Of Life And Death."
Borsos was white. Penn was black.
"Some bigot came in the middle of the night, skulking in the middle of the night, putting this on people's cars," said resident Greg Stanforth.
The flier specifically references Borsos. "Last week another young white woman leaed too late that the 'wonders' of diversity are not what they are made out to be by the establishment," read the flier.
At the bottom of the fliers is a phone number and website address for the National Alliance, a white separatist political organization.
The fliers, which were dotted with racial slurs, came as a shocking reminder to some residents that racism is not dead.
"I thought this stuff belonged in the 1950s with the (Ku Klux Klan)," Stanforth said. "I cannot imagine how it must hurt these people to see how their tragedy is being utilized for somebody else's hate."
