The ironically named "Not F_cking Around Coalition" was in Louisville, KY on Saturday, with redundant "demands" for charges in the Breonna Taylor case. The leader of the group, who has styled himself "Grand Master Jay," insisted that all of his followers bring real firearms, and that they all be loaded. The reason for this was his ostensible concern that the weapons would be needed for the group's defense.
Likely doomed from the get-go, the chief cognitive defect in the coalition's clever formulation was the difficulty they might have in intimidating people with their heavily-armed presence once the entire general public understood they could only use the weapons defensively. This, alone, was enough to practically guarantee a brush-off by the Kentucky Attorney General, whose easiest course of action was to simply ignore them.
However, the coalition forces, not satisfied with the inherent impotence of their original, simple-minded plan, decided to shoot for (so to speak) an even greater level of comical absurdity. By around 1:00 PM, they had achieved this through playing with their weapons until three members of the group were wounded by accidental discharges and had to be hospitalized.
Grand Master Jay had apparently forgotten to address any requirement that members joining the event should actually know how to use the loaded weapons they were required to bring. The consequent, on-site experimentation unfortunately went very poorly, and seriously undermined the group's representation that they are "not f_cking around." Recognizing the limitations of the assemblage of limited intellects he had brought together for his glorious cause, Grand Master Jay's only word on the incident was, "it happens." (Nothing to see here, move on).
After the triple-shooting and hospitalizations, the group reduced its demands from commencement of criminal charges to commencement of charges or transparency. The members of the group will now be happy if Kentucky's Attorney General will simply agree to share all steps of the investigation with people who can't manage to march without shooting each other.
Despite a few reports of occasional tittering from the general vicinity of the Attorney General's Office, no formal statement has issued in response to the demands.
To maintain the pressure of their armed protest, Grand Master Jay may next need to turn to a tried and true tactic such as having coalition members hold their breath until their faces turn blue. Also, to regain a measure of credibility with the group's name, he might want to shift to something like "The Barneys," in honor of the coalition's apparent firearms safety mascot, Barney Fife.
