Clark County Sheriff’s office Sgt. Scott Gilberti said he is not aware of any recently reported hate-speech incidents in Clark County. The resident who sent the photos to The Columbian asked not to be identified and did not reach out to law enforcement about the flyers.
According to data from the FBI, there were 530 reports of hate crimes in Washington in 2022. That year, the Vancouver Police Department reported 113 hate crimes to the FBI.
“I think first and foremost, without knowing what it actually says, it’s impossible for us to evaluate if it meets that free speech threshold or if it meets the criteria for hate speech,” Gilberti said. “I encourage people to reach out to us, but know in doing so that things like this may fall under that free speech category.”
