Pittsburgh police are investigating antisemitic and racist stickers discovered throughout the city's neighborhood with the largest Jewish population in addition to other areas.
The stickers, plastered on light poles near the busy intersection of Murray and Forbes avenues in Squirrel Hill, contained images of swastikas and derogatory statements such as "Jews control pornography," and "Next time no more Mr. Nice Guy," which were accompanied by images of Adolf Hitler, according to photos provided to the Post-Gazette from the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, which tracks antisemitic incidents.
The stickers also targeted Black communities, with one depicting a Black person holding a gun standing beside a Jewish person holding dollar bills, captioned "N****, Jews Bad News!"
A Jewish Community Center of Greater Pittsburgh member reported three of the stickers to police on Sunday, said Public Safety spokesperson Cara Cruz. Flyers of an "antisemitic nature" left at a woman's residence in the 200 block of South Winebiddle Street in Bloomfield were also reported, she said.
