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.”

This is the patch on “Hoggirl.” She just came up to me to clarify her group, “Wild Card III%” is the leadership.

The militia groups are all wearing green armbands to indicate that they’re on the same side.

Many are expressing amongst themselves that this is their first time that they’ll be gathering against an opposing militia.

The group just held a prayer. It’s about 8:50 now, they’re doing final prep and say that they’re caravaning our beginning at 9am sharp.

They’re caravaning into downtown now. All of them are using their hazard lights to stick together as a “convoy” while they talk on an app called “Zello.”

I hopped in a car with a live-streamer who’s out here and plugged into the Zello. Another 20ish cars behind us.

The group is parked and prepping guns etc downtown.

About to livestream.

Two arrests so far - both of the Black Lives Matter side. I livestreamed for about 3 hours here, and am about to begin filming NFAC. I’ll be live again momentarily.

I’m with the NFAC now. About 500 members are here, mostly armed with long guns and wearing black. Word is they’re marching into downtown in about ten minutes. I’ll be livestreaming again soon. – bei Baxter Square

Ok, so I’m going to add the live-streams into this thread, and later on I’ll have plenty of HD footage to publish.

The #NFAC assembled at Baxter Park, and at about 13 mins into my livestream, one accidentally fired their gun, sending 3 to hospital.

The group marched into downtown with a minimal police presence and no arrests that I’m aware of.

The NFAC’s “Grandmaster Jay” gave a speech promising to “burn down” the city in four weeks if Breonna Taylor’s killers arent arrested.
