The post estimated that upwards of 13,000 white supremacists and counter-protests may show up, and claimed that people will be targeted if [they] wear any clothing supporting trump [sic], America, or anything that leans to the right.
Lieutenant Colonel Tony Grant, who forwarded the Facebook post to the rest of the higher-ups at the Coweta County Sheriff department, wrote, Dont guess these folks have heard of TEAM COWETA!!!!!
There was one major problem, though: The Facebook post the Coweta County Sheriffs officers shared with one another appears not to be from any reputable information source, but from the Facebook account of Clay Perry, a self-described patriot who said hes read [antifa] propaganda for a while now.
One commenter on Perrys wrote, Left alone the Nazis would march right through town and out the other side. Antifa will bring the violence. Added another who shared the post, George Soros invading Newnan, Ga!!
