Some residents said they contacted police but were told there wasn’t much, if anything, that law enforcement could do: The images and words constituted free speech.

“I know a lot of people said, ‘Really? This isn’t a crime?’ ” said Hope Manion, 43, of Hereford, whose mother-in-law received a flier. “At what point does it go from some people with an evil ideology … to people really threatened in their homes?”

“The content of the fliers is abhorrent, but the content is protected by the First Amendment,” said a spokeswoman for the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office. “Some of the details surrounding the fliers could be subject to criminal charges,” she said, such as harassment or trespassing. The investigation was continuing heading into the weekend.
