  • In late April 2019, photographs emerged online that appeared to show a public notice bearing the official seal of the city of Atlanta, Ga., that had been distributed throughout the city's Lakewood Heights neighborhood. The poster instructed the public Please Do Not Dump Trash on White Supremacists' Properties and went on to state: A photograph of the flyer was posted to Facebook by the Revolution Porn page on 30 April, and the website It's Going Down published a second photograph of the flyer, as well as an image of what appeared to be the original digital document. The poster also presents a list of properties that Dickson and Anderson own, along with a map. The flyer could have the effect of encouraging property damage, and we haven't been able to confirm the ownership of each of the properties listed, so we have obscured the map and list of properties from the image: Due to the use of the official seal of the city of Atlanta, along with the official-looking headline CITY OF ATLANTA -- PUBLIC NOTICE, multiple Snopes readers contacted us to inquire about whether the poster had been produced or distributed by city officials, as opposed to some private, third-party actor. It's not clear who produced and distributed the flyers, but it certainly wasn't the city of Atlanta. When presented with two photographs of the poster, a spokesperson for Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms confirmed by email that This is not a City flyer. (en)
