Grandmaster Jay,” whose name is John Fitzgerald Johnson, was sentenced Wednesday to seven years and two months in prison. Johnson, 59, was found guilty of brandishing a firearm at state and federal officers as well as assault. In February 2021, he was first indicted by a federal grand jury. In May of this year, he was found guilty.

Johnson, who is a leader of a Black militia, led the group through a march in the September 2020 Breonna Taylor protests in Louisville twice. According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice, he also received 3 years of supervised release, with no option of parole, in addition to the prison sentence.

Following the Louisville protests, Johnson was said to have pointed his AR-15 rifle toward a roof where a Secret Service agent, an FBI agent, and three local officers had been stationed. An excerpt from the Department of Justice statement explains:

“According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Johnson, on the evening of September 4, 2020, forcibly assaulted, resisted, opposed, impeded, intimidated, and interfered with a federally deputized task force officer who was performing official duties, when Johnson aimed a rifle at him. Johnson brandished an AR-15 platform rifle and tactical flashlight at two federally deputized Task Force Officers. Both are detectives with the Louisville Metro Police Department. Johnson was also sentenced to 3 years of supervised release upon completion of his term of imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal system.”

The KKK Police show up...

The military show up...

So I’m here all day every day for the Not Fucking Around Coalition showing up, all of us need to get on this level...

Y’all, I’ve been saying how I wanted to see black protesters show up armed. The right to bear arms is for everyone, and armed protesters can defend themselves if the government tries to take away their right to assemble, speak, and protest.

So I was absolutely giddy when I saw the group in Stone Mountain, GA. Click here to see the first video I saw. My response was, “finally.”

Here was the group’s leader speaking.

At first, my thought was that the Boogaloo people he refers to would likely stand right by his side and march with him if he asked them to. Because my assumption was that he was there to fight for freedom. To oppose a government that has a long history of oppressing black people. 

But y’all, I’m seeing some things that concern me. Specifically evidence that the group’s leader may have some alarming antisemitic views and wants to create a black ethnostate.

And I would have absolutely no problem if the Bureau of Land Management gave up some federally-held land (that they shouldn’t be holding anyway) so that this group and anyone who wanted to join them could set up a self-governing/autonomous community. 

But I would be very concerned if this group decides they’re going to take land that currently belongs to people. Like in the interview he basically says “we’ll take Texas” like they’re just going to claim the whole state for themselves. 

And I also don’t see boogaloo people supporting this group if they’re going to be antisemitic or if they’re going to try to take private property away from individual citizens.
