A drone dropped swastika-emblazoned, anti-media flyers in Sacramento Friday night outside of both an outdoor Sacramento State fundraising dinner and an Ariana Grande concert.
Sacramento State president Robert S. Nelsen confirmed the school's "Bites on the Bridge" dinner was bombarded by the flyers, in a statement that rebuked the leaflets' messaging.
"Sacramento State condemns in the strongest terms the dissemination of hate speech and propaganda Friday evening at our annual fundraising dinner on the Guy West Bridge," Nelson said via a statement on Facebook.
"The anonymous act of spreading such vile material is offensive and runs counter to the principles of inclusion and diversity practiced at Sac State. It did not stop the event, nor will it slow our march toward greater understanding and commitment to the rights and safety of our campus community."

(21,729 posts)makes you wonder why they feel the need to drop these anonymously from a drone rather than handing them out to people on the sidewalk in person.
FBI needs to track this down because today it is a flyer, tomorrow it is yet another right-wing terrorist shooting up innocent Americans

I reported it to FB. We'll see if they do anything. I'm sure they're thrilled that their logo is being used on this nonsense.

He's figured out how to flirt with the line Facebook has drawn to keep the page up. He keeps it just vague enough not to get banned completely.

It sounds like a couple of laws were broken.
