I get a "404" with TenFourFox.
Safari 4.1.3 can't even establish a secure connection.

From the original link:
“ Shots rang out in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday as hundreds of members of heavily armed militia groups converged on the city for a protest against police brutality.
Louisville police confirmed three people were injured when a gun discharged as members of the “Not Fucking Around Coalition,” an all-Black militia, gathered in Baxter Park shortly before 1 p.m.
A spokesperson for the police department described the shooting to The Daily Beast as “negligent” and said there were “no charges at this time” and no outstanding suspects.
The victims, all of whom were members of the NFAC, were transferred to the University of Louisville Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The NFAC’s founder, Atlanta-based rapper and DJ John “Jay” Johnson, said in a YouTube video that the march was a response to the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers serving a no-knock warrant on her apartment in March. Her death and those of other Black Americans sparked widespread protests this summer over racism and police violence.
The “Three Percenter” far-right militia group also called on members to be present on Saturday to act as an ad-hoc security force during the rally, sparking fear among residents of clashes between the two militias.
The group is known for its support of gun rights and opposition to government “tyranny,” and for its presence at white supremacist rallies like Unite the Right in Charlottesville. A Kentucky-based Three Percenter group held a rally in May, over gun rights, where they hung an effigy of Gov. Andy Beshear from a tree with a noose.
The NFAC was formed this summer by Johnson, who refers to himself as the “Official Grand Master Jay.” He previously assembled about 1,000 militia members to march through Georgia’s Stone Mountain Park in protest of a confederate monument there. For Saturday’s rally, he asked members to arrive armed and dressed in black.
About 500 NFAC members—some from as far away as Oregon—answered the call, according to reporters on the ground, gathering in Baxter Park Saturday morning before marching to Jefferson Square Park.
Dozens of Three Percenters also showed up in camouflage and carrying guns. They had a noticeably smaller turnout, with some participants referring to them as the One Percenters because of their small show of force.
Black Lives Matter protesters, unaffiliated with either group, also showed up to protest. By 11:30 a.m., before NFAC had even started their march, police in riot gear had erected a barricade to separate the Three Percenters from Black Lives Matter protesters, which did not stop the opposing sides from chanting and yelling at each other. ‘
Odd, I’m getting a 404 from both Daily Beast links now!

The reason why the links are not working is that the URL itself contains a word that the forum censors and changes to @#$%&
If one were to hit the "Quote" button for that post, the quoted text will not be filtered and the URL can be copied and pasted into the address bar to view the page.
This is the URL that you get if you just click the link

The URL you need has to replace @#$%& with something Samuel L Jackson would say.

Yes, that is it, thanks.

Russian social media instigators getting people to show up to fight each other?

So, three guys shot themselves? Or got shot by a boneheaded friend?
Sounds more like the Slightly Fucking Around Coalition, if you ask me.

Gun went of accidentally is the official statement. It was during the assembly; the march had not yet started. Glad that nothing serious happened.
The NAFC leader talked to the attorney general (who is Black) and told him that he has four weeks to produce a public report. If he doesn't they will be back and "burn the place down."
I support the aims of the Black Lives Matter movement, but this sounds like intimidation and a threat that cannot be legal. This group is using tactics and threats that to me are the antithesis of the promotion of justice. I think it does not help the cause.
