Emails we obtained via records request show how #Newnan, GA law enforcement planned for the National Socialist Movement rally based on false info in a FB post spread by the Three Percenter militia, who provided armed security for nazis in #Charlottesville unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p… 
The post, originally by #Newnan resident & self-described "anti-antifa" Clay Perry, seems to have been taken at face value by cops. Perry's claims included inflated numbers of up to 12,000 ppl & false reports of hidden weapons caches throughout the city.

When a separate records request asked #Newnan Police for evidence for their rather high estimate of 12,000 anti-racist counter-protesters, they provided a Facebook post from an obviously fake antifa page as support for their claims. unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…
Perry, whose post was copied by a Three Percenter page & forwarded by Newnan police & sheriffs, is a far-right militia supporter who claimed last August that “actual nazis & white supremacists…were the vast minority of rally attendees” in Charlottesville. unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…
While none of the claims in the 3% militia FB post came to pass, or seem to have been credible in the first place, the post nonetheless ended up in planning materials for a major law enforcement operation involving over 800 officers from dozens of agencies unicornriot.ninja/2018/georgia-p…
