More than 100 armed members of the Not F*cking Around Coalition, a Black militia group, are standing in formation outside of Churchill Downs in Louisville, where the Kentucky Derby is being held today.

They outnumber Louisville police officers who are lined up across from them.
"We are the response," the militia group's leader says. "We are not the threat."

It seems someone was just affected by the heat, with the group calling over a medic.

In July, a member of the group passed out in the heat and accidentally fired their gun, striking three people, the group's leader said, per @courierjournal: courier-journal.com/story/news/loc…
The NFAC militia leader just moved the group away from Churchill Downs after members of the larger racial justice protest (non-militia) arrived in the same area.

#KentuckyDerby starts in just a few minutes.

In new court filing, public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado gay club that left 5 people dead say that their client is non-binary and that "they use they/them pronouns." The lawyers refer to their client as Mx. Anderson Aldrich.
Among the victims in the attack: 2 bartenders who looked after everybody, a trans woman who was showing off her outfit minutes earlier, a man at the bar for the first time with his girlfriend, and a woman who worked for an org that helps foster children. nytimes.com/article/victim…

NEW: A legal battle is playing out in Alabama over the execution of Alan Eugene Miller.

It begins in 2018, when the state gave death row prisoners a short window in which they could choose to die by a never-before-tried method: oxygen deprivation. nytimes.com/2022/09/23/us/…
Alan Eugene Miller, who was convicted of murdering three men in a workplace rampage, said he opted for that new method because he had become afraid of needles after a bad experience getting blood drawn in prison.

But Alabama said it never got his form. nytimes.com/2022/09/23/us/…
A judge stopped the execution, ruling that Alan Eugene Miller likely did submit his form and prison officials lost it.

But last night, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the execution can go ahead. Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberals in dissent. nytimes.com/2022/09/23/us/…

Breaking: Albuquerque mosque president tells @AvaSasani that the authorities told him the suspect in the killings of four Muslim men is Sunni Muslim and targeted the victims because he was angry over his daughter marrying a Shiite Muslim. nytimes.com/2022/08/09/us/…
Breaking: police say they've arrested Muhammad Syed, 51, and charged him with two of the killings, which they describe as possibly being the result of "an interpersonal conflict."
"We do have some information about those events taking place, but we’re not really clear if that was the actual motive, if it was part of the motive or if there’s just a bigger picture that we’re missing," says Kyle Hartsock, a deputy commander with the Albuquerque Police Dept.

NEW: The gunman left many warnings that were spotted by young people — but not reported — before his massacre at a Uvalde, Texas, school.

"He finna shoot something up," one wrote after seeing Salvador Ramos post guns on Instagram.

More people who were concerned by his behavior in the weeks and months leading up to the attack: nytimes.com/live/2022/05/2… Image
Experts in mass shootings call advance disclosures like the ones from the Uvalde gunman "leakage," and say that they are much more common among young gunmen than older attackers.

Introducing his interview with Kyle Rittenhouse — the first since he was acquitted — @TuckerCarlson says it's "hard to ignore the yawning class divide" between Rittenhouse, 18, who worked as a janitor and cook in high school, and "his many critics in the media."
After Kyle Rittenhouse, then 17, fatally shot two people and wounded a third during destructive demonstrations in August 2020, he says his mom "wanted to go into hiding."

But, he says, "I said no, the right thing to do would be to turn myself in — I didn't do anything wrong."
Rittenhouse says his old lawyers had him do interviews "which I should never have done" & took their time bailing him out, telling him he was "safer in jail."

Now there's a dispute over the refunded bail $. More on that via @StacyStClair @christygutowsk1: chicagotribune.com/news/ct-kyle-r…
