From the article-

Three people were injured in Baxter Square Park, police said.

Gunshots erupted during a planned protest in Louisville, Ky., Saturday and three members of the heavily armed militia group, the “Not F---ing Around Coalition” (NFAC), were injured by shots fired from one of their own member's guns, police told Fox News.

The shooting took place near Baxter Square Park around 1 p.m. and all of the victims were transported to the University of Louisville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) told Fox News.

True to their word---I guess they weren't f----ing around.

Of course, if this is any indication of how well they'd do in an actual combat situation where they had to apply disciplined small-unit tactics, it doesn't appear to bode well for their operational effectiveness.

unfortunately you can expect to see armed people deciding to take the streets back and then you can expect to see civil war.

I suppose they mean they don’t want to **** around learning how to handle firearms.

I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I’ve been waiting for non-white people to get on the armed resistance bandwagon. But on the other hand, i see all militias as a joke.

Well, most modern militias have been viewed primarily as either white-supremacist/extreme right-wing fanatic outfits, crazy apocalyptic conspiracy theory nuts, or beer-bellied drunken rednecks with hunting rifles; and now, the evidently accidental discharge-prone leftist groups can apparently be added as well. But that's primarily only because they have been small in numbers and not terribly well-organized; there hasn't been a real need for them.

Their most notable success was the Bundy Ranch confrontation, where they appeared in enough numbers and sufficiently armed (with the determination to use said arms if they absolutely had to) that they forced the Bureau of Land Management and other state and Federal hangers-on to pull in their horns and back off. But that, again, was a limited operation under specific circumstances.

However: if the country were to dissolve into anarchy, with law enforcement absent or ineffective, and violent gangs running amok, I suspect you would see the emergence of hundreds of thousands of citizens coalescing into militias----because they'd have to in order to protect their lives and property....and because there wouldn't be anybody else to do it for them. They might be seen as a joke now---but that perception is rapidly becoming outdated with each passing day.

We're not in Mayberry in 1955 any more, Toto.

I wished they were a joke but what they are is a bucket full of gasoline, unfortunately there are fools on both sides who would gladly strike the match.

The news stories that talk about them shooting people and promoting black power. There are some very serious things going on and none of them are funny.

Certainly they can make few bodies either by design or accident.

Doesn’t make them credible organizations. Nothing solo actors couldn’t accomplish.

I think they are very dangerous fools who could start a civil war resulting in many deaths.
