Several cars with New York license plates parked on Palm Beach streets got notices on their windows over the weekend encouraging them to leave if they are woke, as in canceling everything.
“If you are one of those ‘woke’ people — leave Florida. You will be happier elsewhere, as will we,” reads the message, typed in all capital letters. The threatening letters were found on cars parked along Sunrise Avenue, Bradley Place and Seaview Avenue in the ritzy seaside enclave about an hour north of Fort Lauderdale that’s long been a cherished spot for New Yorkers who head south for the winter.
Concerned citizens reported the letters to the Palm Beach Police Department on Sunday, but cops concluded that no crime had been perpetrated after a short investigation.
