It's a bit long and rambly but I think this is worth listening to at least for a while. Matt and FerFal brought up a few things about this that I hadn't considered.
TLDR/TLDL version
-the NFAC thing is what it looks like when you get few hundred people together with weapons who haven't trained on firearms and who haven't trained together before. Took about 4 hours to form up the mob of 500 individuals into something like a parade formation to start moving to the courthouse
-NFAC isn't at the point of being much of a militia, given the newb problems (500 guys wearing black standing out in the sun for 4 hours without water or any other plans while they figured out how to line up, no one in charge saavy enough to pre-emptively have everyone clear weapons/use chamber flags). But, whatever phone tree or whatever they're using was able to get 500 bodies on the X with a couple of days heads up.
I've seen other videos out there from within the forming-up area indicating that someone was likely paying each of them a couple hundred $ each to be there
-some decent speculation about why this event really took place- it seems plausible that this is really about "Grandmaster Jay" trying to jump in front of the BLM bandwagon and grab some fame and attention for himself
