Kirkwood, Atlanta, GA – Residents in some Atlanta neighborhoods are expressing concern and outrage after waking up to antisemitic and transphobic flyers left for residents.
The Atlanta Police Department says their Homeland Security Unit is investigating the incident, but they are not aware of any criminal-related acts directly associated with the flyers.
The flyers claim six Jewish individuals are behind a “rise in transgenderism”.
The flyers appear to point to a particular group the Anti-Defamation League identifies as the “Goyim Defense League”. Their websites allow users to download and print flyers, as well as give tips on the best ways to distribute them. Georgia is one of the eight known states the group has been known to have surfaced.
“Their distribution has led to a heightened level of awareness throughout our department, and we have increased patrols around where the flyers were found,” Atlanta Police wrote in a statement sent to FOX 5.
One of those neighborhoods is Kirkwood, where residents who spoke with FOX 5 say they outraged by the rhetoric.
