BIG THREAD: Today hundreds of members of the all-Black "Not Fucking Around Coalition" (#NFAC) marched through #Lafayette, Louisiana.

The group was protesting threats directed at them by U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins on Facebook, and the police shooting of Trayford Pellerin.
Just as the group began their march from Lafayette Public Library to Parc Sans Souci, two shots rang out at the Parc.

One was arrested and charged with reckless discharge of a firearm at a parade or demonstration, and felon in possession of a firearm.

This is what it looked like on my end when shots rang out.

A handful of NFAC members declared "there's action up ahead," and rushed forward.

NFAC leader "Grandmaster Jay" told his group to "stand the fuck down" and later made his folks pull back until it was clear.

I’m in #Lafayette, Louisiana where the all-Black #NFAC militia is planning to march at 4pm EST.

A number of opposing militia groups are also here, setting up across the parade route.

Here, the “Cajun Guard” forms up with officers near the beginning of the march route.
Under police guard, the #NFAC is forming up at Lafayette Public Library.

They are expected to march 3 hours from now, 4pm local time (apologies, in an earlier tweet I said 4pm est.)

For now, they don’t want press nearby. ImageImage
Police erected barricades that track the entire planned #NFAC march route. Theoretically, the group will march to Parc San Souci which is only a few blocks away.

After a rally there, they are expected to perform the same march in reverse back to the library.

PHOTO THREAD: Armed pro-Trump and conservative activists with the "Viking Militia" marched to City Hall in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, where they were confronted by antifascist and antiracist protesters.

All photos in thread available for license. ImageImageImageImage
Following a confrontation, the militia group retreated. The counter-protesters celebrated, including chants of "No justice, no derby!" ImageImageImageImage
It was only after the right-wing side of the conflict retreated that police entered the area in a riot formation. ImageImage

THREAD: Today hundreds of armed right-wing and pro-Trump militia activists marched through #Louisville to City Hall, where they were confronted by antifascist activists (some armed) in their path.

There was initially no violence as they walked by their counter-protesters.
As the right argued with the left outside the courthouse, it sometimes escalated into violence. It was relatively mild (pushing, etc) but at least two people unholstered handguns.
"Breonna Taylor!" chanted counter-protesters.

"Kyle Rittenhouse!" chanted a militia supporter wearing a viking helmet.

A couple dozen members of the “National Patriotic Defense Team” Militia are gathering about four miles from downtown #Louisville.

Another right-wing militia group is currently reportedly rallying up about ten miles away as well.

They’re currently listing emergency contacts.
One guy parked what the members called his “battle van” complete with barbed wire on the front and surrounding his belongings in the back.
The NPDT Militia is putting on orange tape armbands to differentiate themselves from other militia groups on the ground.

For the same reason, they were apparently instructed not to wear camo.

Long guns will be out downtown. For now, sidearms only.

Today at the National Action Network's March on DC, the "Not F***ing Around Coalition" (NFAC) militia gathered in front of the MLK Jr. Memorial.

While they usually carry pistols and rifles, today they carried knives, a machete, empty pistol holsters, and wore bulletproof vests.
The #NFAC's leader who goes by the name "Grandmaster Jay" told the crowd forming at the MLK memorial that "The NFAC is the new Black Panthers."

They received huge applause.

He said that if people "put their hands on you, you send their ass to the hospital or to the morgue."
NFAC's Grandmaster Jay then led the crowd in chants of "Black power!"

Echoing comments he made in Louisville five weeks ago, he told "white allies" that "you can't join us, but you can help us."

He told them to "talk to your people" about racial issues.

Today about 500 armed activists with the all-black "Not Fucking Around Coalition" aka "NFAC" gathered to march in #Louisville for #BreonnaTaylor.

As they were getting ready, one member accidentally fired a shot, injuring three. This was captured in my livestream.
After the shooting, the #NFAC formed a perimeter around the scene at Baxter Park. They allowed police and EMS in to tend to the three wounded, who were taken away in stretchers. I've seen it reported that the injuries are "not life threatening."
Police recovered the firearm that apparently was accidentally discharged. I don't believe the individual was arrested.

It looks like a Henry-style lever action rifle or shotgun, but I'm not 100% sure of the model.

At the BLM #NFAC rally in Louisville one of the members accidentally shot themselves or another person. Hearing reports of possibly two injured. Seeing a lot of irresponsible things, people pointing weapons at each other đŸ€Šâ€â™€ïž
One person being carried out on a stretcher Image
Two people were carried out on stretchers.. Surprisingly, nobody had anything bad to say to the police when they were helping the victims. Image

30 min from now #NFAC will march in Louiville for #BreonnaTaylor. We broke this news last Sunday. KY media caught up mid-week. Media also reported #threepercenters will go, but it was based on a social media post w/ only a few “likes”. @courierjournal @TobinBen @phillipmbailey
Remember last month when media reported of a “patriot militia” was presumably coming to Louisville. Well, that never happened. google.com/amp/s/amp.cour

So if some #threepercenters do show up, know that the @courierjournal & others who reported based on weak evidence provided credibility via advertising it. If there is an unfortunate conflict, it could reasonably be stated negligent reporting stirred the pot unnecessarily.

Good morning from Louisville, Kentucky.

Today an all-black militia group called the “Not Fucking Around Coalition” #NFAC is holding an armed rally for #BreonnaTalyor, expected at noon.

Conservative militias are already gathering to to counter it.

I’ll be covering all day.
I haven’t seen an extremely precise explanation as to what the III%’era goals are out here, but generally they’ve been using graphics like this to push an opposition to the NFAC itself.
“Law enforcement is the boss out there.”

These militia groups gathered from various states. Their event’s leader, Tara Brandau aka “Hoggirl,” is based here in Kentucky. She explains the militias’s role as to back up the police in “keeping peace.”
