Coweta, GA firefighter suspended after neo-Nazi claims

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A Coweta County firefighter has been suspended with pay pending an official investigation that he is a neo-Nazi and a member of White Lives Matter, an online organization that spreads racist and antisemitic propaganda around the nation and internationally.

County administrator Michael Fouts confirmed Tuesday that firefighter Hunter Forsyth is no longer on active duty following the publication of an investigation by left-wing activist organization Atlanta Antifascists into Forsyth’s alleged connections to the white supremacy group.

“We’ve received information on the matter,” Fouts said. “Obviously, we are concerned about our employees and providing public service.”

In a lengthy article published to its website, Atlanta Antifascists used public records, photographs and social media posts across multiple platforms in its investigation into Forsyth and his alleged connections to White Lives Matter, an international group that espouses that the United States and European countries be “re-purposed” into white-only states where a small number of people of other races would “serve the interests of White People.”
