More anti-Semitic flyers tossed onto Wynnfield Lakes driveways

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — More anti-Semitic flyers were tossed onto Jacksonville residents’ lawns, this time in the Wynnfield Lakes neighborhood off Kernan Boulevard.

Sriram Sankaran found several baggies on his evening walk with his dog.

“It is quite surprising for me to find this on all the driveways,” Sankaran said.

The bags were sand and a flier titled “Communism is Jewish.”

“This is shocking to me. Yeah, it is really shocking to me,” Sankaran said.

We blurred the flier due to its derogatory language, but on it are alleged quotes from George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Jackson.

There are even three different QR codes and a website.

Action News Jax did not explore any of the links to minimize our risk of getting any viruses, as the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office advised other residents when they got similar bags in Grove Park.

More bags were tossed onto properties in the Osprey Pointe neighborhood.

The fine print at the bottom of the fliers in Wynnfield Lakes reads, “This flier was distributed randomly and without malicious intent. God bless.”

However, people like Sankaran think it is malicious.

“This is wrong and there are good things you can focus on and proceed further. Life is too short. Make everyone happy and be happy,” Sankaran said.

Action News Jax first told you when Congressman and governor candidate Charlie Crist wrote a letter to the Department of Justice, asking it to investigate this issue.
