Second time I've had to do this. My partner's done it once as well. Whoever this guy is, now he's a "christian" pirate who hates everyone INCLUDING people who go to church. Cool and normal!
I know all of this creep's usual hiding spots now. He courageously puts them in bushes, behind signs (pictured)... like he's a little boy doing an Easter Egg hunt.
Hilarious to print things to get your ideas out, and then disseminate them by hiding them in the bushes like the trash they are.
Still, if young disenfranchised people find them, they are vulnerable to believing this shit.
It’s totally true, and I wish that they had never been printed in the first place. I applaud OP for removing them.
It’s likely part of the red pilling experience.
This person is likely not trying to reach out to everyone, but to the “select few” that will understand and protect the message.
If the “wrong” person finds this message, they will destroy it - just like OP is doing - and therefore, this person can’t share the message in the open. He has to “hack” the system. Again, just like in The Matrix.
Of course, I could be totally wrong. But this appears to be the most likely scenario based on the information we have so far.
Lol imagine being that angry all the time. It must be exhausting
I can imagine someone running stacks these through a laminator, slamming everything around, sweat rolling off their face muttering "this will show them"
Angry and scared all the time. These people live in fear their whole lives fighting ghosts of their own creation lol
And voting for people who stoke their fears and promise to make things great again.
“Hates baggage man, life’s too short to be pissed off all the time”
So stressful too. Like calm dahn and hug someone already.
would love for us all to just “hug someone” but unfortunately we dont live in a perfect world where feeling angry abt someone putting up hate speech flyers is obsolete, that would be awesome tho!
looks around reddit seems easy for a lot.
Someone's library laminating privileges need revoked
Yeah the fact that he laminated these and then just tied them to stuff with twine is a hoot and a holler lmao
Naw. No grey areas in speech rights. Unless it’s actively calling for harm &/or abuse.
My initial comment got automatically removed for "threatening violence" which is... Something else, because I didn't do that, but I'm going to restate it in kid-friendly terms anyway:
Nazis deserve and shall receive no quarter.
Ay, comment's back. The appeal worked. Never woulda thought, tbh.
Nazism and white supremacy are actively calling for harm and abuse.
What do you think these hate speech wastes of ink and paper call for? Giving people $500?
I hate how our current political climate has normalized hate speech to the fact that, by your logic, someone can spread as many conspiracy theories and vile rhetoric about Jews/blacks/LGBT/Venezuelans, and it's okay UNTIL they say something advocating for harm.
“Hate speech” unfortunately is far too nuanced & normalizing limiting speech is more dangerous than some lunatics fliers in obscure locations.
Yet somehow other civilized countries find a balance.
Just like with guns.
Naw. Fuck these people with a rusty polearm.
All I can make out is the WALK THE PLANK graphic. 😂🤣😂🤣
What a fucking turd.
THANK YOU from a fellow Oakmont resident. Years ago I was removing or defacing stickers around town with hateful nonsense. Sad to see this happening again.
Hey, you might have caught the first wave of those if it was a few years ago. My partner got a few of those, I never found any. Cheers dawg.
Well done.
A few years ago in West View I would spend my weekends peeling "race mixing is genocide" stickers from road signs.
What the fuck is wrong with people?
Oh I remember those stickers! I saw them in town somewhere... don't remember where though. I would have taken them down if I could park anywhere nearby.
I used to live in West View, I never saw one of those stickers! You must've been pretty thorough
I’m really afraid right now. Hate seems so prevalent.
Isn’t that near where the Jehovahs Witnesses are usually posted up?
Yeah, he puts one of them on the Jehova benches near where the Rally for Peace guy hangs out (who I haven't seen in a while).
Nazis hate JW too, or at least Hitler did. I think it was because they refused army service, so Nazis detained a lot of them in concentration camps. The ones not there had their lives made miserable. A 1000+ were killed.
So I assume the current Nazi tools hate JW too.
I live in Verona & drive through Oakmont regularly. Where are the other usual spots? I’ll keep an eye out & do my part to remove them too.
He usually puts them on the benches around the two main streets, around the library and the Ace Hardware, and he hides them in the railroad crossing signs. If you Happen to see them - I think this guy has tantrums every few months and does a round, then gives up again.
Wouldn't be shocked if it's that evangelical church near Hoffstot's, they spoke at my brother's funeral and just proselytized and called him a sinner for taking his life. Hateful inconsiderate people that don't hide it very well.
Or maybe the Hula Bar is trying to have another Klan meeting....
Thank you for removing that hateful rhetoric from Oakmont!
Fuck that church! My brother and his girlfriend were in their youth group when they unexpectedly got pregnant, and instead of supporting them, they called them sinners and kicked them out.
Sad that I read this and wasn't shocked in the slightest...
Lol, they didn't want to let them repent for their sins?!?!
What's this about the hula bar?! I work in Verona and stop in there from time to time.
Edit - Nevermind, I found an article about it.
Men will do anything but go to therapy.

Untrue and unfair.
pee your pants
lol go to therapy.
oh look, an active antifeminist in the wild 🙄
I'm trying to understand how that persons response makes them an anti feminist ?
Am I missing something ?
I go to therapy - I also think it's not cool to generalize an entire group of people.
I agree. The response to this is weird. I thought it was bad to generalize an entire group of people as doing or not doing a specific thing. I know many men who have gone or still go to therapy. There’s lots that don’t as well. Just kind of a weird thing to say with even weirder responses, ha.
😭
Who hurt you, little girl?
pee. your. pants.
I’m not hurt, I went to therapy. Give it a try, big man.
I already go, maybe you should quite being a bitch and acting like you know every person's living situation that you interact with online.
It's really weird. Really, really weird
lol be serious.
Here's your reply.
I’m sorry? You literally assumed that someone “hurt me” and then not only called me a bitch but then lectured me assuming about every persons “living situation”, be serious.
This Jew sends you 😘
You're a mensch.
Sending love your way as well! I'm actually going to bike the Pittsburgh Eruv boundary this summer just for something to do.
I love this idea. A little difficult since it's not actually completely continuous, but what's a few extra feet here and there?
Doesn't it have to be continuous?
I mean it's supposed to completely enclose an area, but the one in Pittsburgh is weird and has extra bits here and there as the Jewish population in the city moved around and needed access to things that got built later, like hospitals.
Whoa. Weird! Ty.
The magic of religion... 😆
Here's the map. https://www.vaadpgh.org/eruv/status-map
Omg this is me!
It's much larger than it was the last time I checked. Which was prob 10 years ago.
The thing that gets me is that there's a short section of the Parkway East that is like...I dunno, a goy enclave or something. It's within the larger eruv but excluded from it because of how the eruv was built out. You'd think they'd just remove that portion so they don't have to maintain it anymore, but it's still up.
I saw that but it's super hard for me to figure out if that was out or in the eruv. Then I was trying to figure out why it was out of it. It gets confusing down there. You know some rabbis spent like 500 hours debating each sq foot.
Oh you want to see an eruv? Go to Baltimore. So many Jews there the entire northwest part of the city plus a decent portion of Baltimore county is in the eruv. https://www.eruv.org/eruv-directory/223/baltimore-eruv/
It is pretty near that Nazi bar in Verona
Which one is the Nazi bar?!

https://www.reddit.com/r/pittsburgh/comments/xnbun1/hulu_bar_in_verona_continues_to_support_far_right/
I used to be an intern at the design firm a couple doors down from there and it always had the weirdest vibes for such a colorful bar.
[deleted]
What? ETA I need to know about this if true
The bar previously called Blondies?
Nah. That one is owned by John Keefe so he can upcharge people now in Verona on alcohol with the Sunseri family that fronts most of the money for these projects
Is this the cocksucker that owns every bar in Oakmont except Mikes Wifes?
Oh I think that place has been boarded up for a few years now. Last time I saw it, there was a big hole in the window and POSTED signs. But I don't drive by there often.
I don’t know if it’s under new ownership, but they’ve undergone a major renovation. It looks like they’re reopening under a new name.
Blondies was sold and is now called Twin Boros, I think, and looks like it will open soon. It was bought by John Keefe, the owner of most of the restaurants in Oakmont.
I think this person is referring to the Hula Bar, as they hosted a couple of weird Maga things- like a guy was standing on the corner with an assault rifle yelling at cars.
Oh that guy is worse than a Nazi. John Keefe he is called? Fuck him.
No. Not John Keefe. He’s the owner of the normal restaurants.
Gotcha. So Hula bar is the Nazi place then. Very odd that a place called "Hula bar" is the Nazi spot. Sounds a little too festive, lol.
Still a Nazi bar? Do we need to try to shut it down?
Edit: absolutely grave editing mistake in the initial comment I made.
Don’t think so.
It is soon to be a new restaurant/ bar by the man who owns several restaurants in Oakmont including The Lot.
Hula bar will remain. The former Blondies will be the new restaurant. I live up the street.
No. Blondies was a bar where factory workers from Daily’s hung out. This bar is on Allegheny Ave below ARB. I believe one of the owners is a Pacific Islander so it’s so weird that the politics of the bar patrons skew so far right.
What is on the flyers? And good of you to remove them if it’s deplorable.
When I get any vehicle work done at Meineke, just a few times a year, I consistently change their waiting room tv station from Faux News as it’s always disgusting and hateful. Interestingly, everyone in the waiting room comments that they’re happy about the station being changed which always surprises me as I thought there were too many of “them” (enthusiastically hateful creatures) but maybe not.
I flipped the photo around and cropped it. Zooming in, all I can make out is "repent repent repent", "he only loves us so we can change" and of course, "WALK THE PLANK".
Some generic stuff about hate and love and some more junk about "to walk the plank" and "then walk the plank".
Pretty weird, man. Pretty weird.
Enough said with seeing “REPENT”. That’s all I need to know. Carry on, good citizen.
I would urge you not to give these flyers the exposure that the author wants.
Why? Are you tempted to WALK THE PLANK after seeing this?
Yeah would be nice for people that are out of the loop.
There's a known white nationalist from tbe Oakmont area.
The GOP in Oakmont support him. . .

I hope he has an HP printer.
Tell your local police
Just carry fuck MAGA stickers and tag em back.
Appreciate you OP!
He needs to be on a watch list. Feels like the type who would shoot up a public space.
I live in Verona. That is awful. Next time, hopefully there will not be a next time, I will help you.
BE CAREFUL DOING THIS
I've heard reports of razor blades or other hazards hidden under the edges of flyers like this to deter removal.
I know about the razor blade thing, this guy is too dumb to do that. They were loosely hung from things with twine. Not even taped, glued, nothing.
The fact they went to the lengths to laminate their hatred so it could survive for people to see.... Truly awful
MAGA is ramping up
as someone new to this state and city. i’ve been vehemently disgusted.
Laminated.. dang
Thank you!! 👍
What did they say ?
Answering this would give them the platform and engagement they want. It's best to never know and let it die.
Yes but making it mysterious doesn’t help either :-) can you give a general description of what it’s about ? Don’t need to show sign
Hate speech flyer seems like a good description.
Wait, so it's ok for people to protest and interrupt other people's lives by blocking the streets, but hidden flyers must be removed?
Cleaning up other people’s litter and trash upsets you?
wet your trousers
Is it dan tate?
I wouldn't know who that is. Didn't grow up here, just renting. Gimme a clue?
"Freedom of speech for everyone... but the opinions I disagree with." - every liberal
pisseth thine chaps
The government isn’t preventing this person from leaving their opinion-litter around the area. They are leaving it, and helpful folks are picking it up and placing it in the proper disposal receptacle as we should with any litter we find.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.

What's the flyer say? Really hard to read from the photo Not saying they aren't hate flyers but I'd like to know the context.
I was honestly kinda hopign that photo would be good enough to make it out more >< I didn't get a photo of the flyer itself. Lost my damn gloves when I was getting ready to take the photo and decided to just dump the bag in the trash rather than touch it with my bare hands ew. it was double-sided though which was really funny.
If you would only take a pic that shows what it says. Looks more like a menu from a fish restaurant
Honestly, I lost my gloves right as I thought to do that and didn't want to touch it with my bare hands. Stinkie.
Zoom in and you can read a bit of it though. the REPENT shit especially
Are you able to upload or send a closer/more descriptive version of the flyer? If it matches what I’ve seen a few years ago, I might know the person.
Okay this has my interest. I wasn't gonna go back down and get photos for folks (I threw them in the public trash can) but I'm considering it.
please don't give the author the exposure that he wants. I'm glad you're removing them, no need to explicitly show what's on them.
that's kinda the conclusion I came to, yeah. Plus going out in this weather without gloves sounds like Assssssssssss
Well hes definitely succeeded in sending someone on his little easter egg hunt if hes got you and your partner doing so multiple times. Good job wasting your time playing his game
urinate thine underwears
No thanks im good
pee. Now.
You, your partner, and others it seems, have spent hours taking down the signs, and yet he keeps putting them up. Sounds like he's winning!
I am glad we have you as the thought police so you can tell us what is good to read and bad to read. What a fascist you are
pee thine pantaloons
Can you post a photo of the flyer?
It’s probably not hate speech.. it’s probably just something a leftist disagrees with lmfao 🤣.. leftists don’t support free speech unless it’s pre-approved by them first! Even if it’s a racist organization like the KKK, they should still have the right to gather and have their lives. Who says communists are any fucking better? I’ve seen more hate come from leftists than any other group in the last 20 years. Including Nazi groups lmfao 🤣
on the other hand, pee... your pants?
Whatever you say 😆, obviously you have your own version of reality!! If you want to imagine me peeing my pants, by all means. Just keep it to yourself, that type of shit isn’t my thing! Have a very good day.. hopefully it was less communist than the day before lmfao 🤣
dont fib young man you already peed them
So untrue. I’m a leftist who only disagrees with corporate greed and Nazism.
