Paso Robles police investigating antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ literature

June 9, 2023

By JOSH FRIEDMAN

Paso Robles police officers are investigating literature found in bags this week that the city says is antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ.

On Wednesday, a citizen reported small plastic bags containing offensive literature were left at multiple locations in the River Oaks neighborhood, according to the city of Paso Robles. Officials believe an individual or individuals intentionally distributed the material during the overnight hours on Tuesday.

Investigators are asking anyone who has information about this incident or other instances of hate speech or discrimination call the Paso Robles Police Department at (805) 237-6464 or SLO Crime Stoppers at (805) 549-STOP.

Officials stated in the news release that the city condemns the distribution of the “hateful” material. 

“The city firmly believes in fostering an inclusive and accepting community where every individual can live without fear or prejudice,” City Manager Ty Lewis said a statement. “The dissemination of this material undermines the fundamental principles of equality that are the bedrock of a just and harmonious society.”

Paso Robles is dedicated to promoting inclusivity, celebrating diversity, and opposing discrimination in all its forms, city officials said. The city encourages all community members, businesses and organizations to condemn these hateful acts and work together to ensure Paso Robles residents remains safe, welcoming and respectful to all.

Sounds like a false flag by the feds if you ask me…. they are trying real hard to make us believe we have a white separatist problem….

Because WE do! Check out “disturbing fliers targeting LBGTQ+ community found in parking lot”. Google it. Redding

Folks with this attitude are here. It ain’t you, it ain’t me but we have to get our heads out of the sand. The hate is out there and is what BLM, Pride, ADL are reacting to. They are saying something. Are you open minded enough to hear it?

That’s it! The gov’t is stupid at everything except these giant conspiracies. You really think that?

Time for another resolution. C’mon Bruce let’s go.

Should the police be investigating crimes? Being mean is not a crime.

Uncle Jack, the symbol on the “Embrace White Pride” banner is the Odin Rune design used by the Waffen-SS. The Waffen-SS consisted of a cadre of combat troops who were involved with mass shootings and supplying guards for Nazi concentration camps. Hate speech is a crime.

Perpetrators must have been from Tulare.

Although we can all denounce hatred of any kind, let’s also remember that these types of events are very often perpertraited by the very members of the targeted group, it is a way to seek sypathy for their cause.


Let the investigation go forward.

How often? NOT often. In fact, it’s rare. Sorry.

You allude that Jewish and LBGTQ organizations are behind this? Really?

Republicans do “Not See” the effects of their words on “Nazis”. They pretend to “not see” the nazis responding to their cues. I guess republicans do “Not See” well.

Anti-Semitism is the world’s oldest hate.
