A variety of hate literature was distributed in the Dunloggin section of Ellicott City yesterday under the name of a purported group called "National Alliance."
One flier requested a $2 donation to a post office box. The three-page flier attacked the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, a Jewish group dedicated to defending the rights of Jews, people of color and so-called "race mixing."
Howard County Police Chief Wayne Livesay said his officers responded to calls and collected copies of the brochures.
"It's hateful, but it's not illegal," he said.
