The Not F---ing Around Coalition held one of the largest rallies by an armed militia in American history when hundreds of Black men and women marched through the streets of Louisville in July 2020 to demand justice for Breonna Taylor, who was killed in a botched police raid. Months after the striking display, the group’s leader, John Fitzgerald Johnson, who goes by Grandmaster Jay, was arrested and banned from using social media or firearms while he awaits trial on two federal charges. In an interview with USA TODAY and @teamtrace, Grandmaster Jay says the court-mandated restrictions are an effort to suppress him because he dares to challenge the status quo. “You put me back in the cave,” Grandmaster Jay said. “It was a methodology used to silence a very powerful voice in the world.” While some experts in the militia movement say there’s no evidence Johnson is being singled out, others argue the case against him appears to be weak. “Prosecutors and the feds have a toolbox of strategies that they can use to go after organized crime,” said Mitchel Roth, a professor of criminology at Sam Houston State University. “The whole thing comes down to who they’re targeting.”
