Forest Grove residents receive menacing anonymous letters about Black Lives Matter signs – By Savannah Eadens (The Oregonian/OregonLive) / June 24 2021
At least three residents and one small business in Forest Grove received menacing letters in the mail this week from an anonymous sender appearing to threaten them for flying a Black Lives Matter flag.
The identical letters, each in the same large black font, said: “Thank you for flying the BLM flag. It will make it easier to identify who is a socialist, racist, woke and un-American when the fighting breaks out.”
Forest Grove police are investigating the letters after the residents filed police reports. They weren’t immediately available to answer questions about the investigation Thursday.
Matt and Kate Barrett, who have lived in a home near Scottie’s Drive in Forest Grove for 10 years, placed a Black Lives Matter sign in their yard a year ago in the wake of racial justice protests nationwide.
