4K & 240FPS Video: Firing Thompson 1927A1 "Tommy Gun" Full Auto
Editor's note from News2Share editor-in-chief Ford Fischer: Today I got to fire a full-auto Thompson 1927A1 "Tommy Gun." This was an incredible chance to fire a gun that was built in the 20's and still functional.
Also a chance to push the limits of my modern cameras: This was filmed in 3840x2160 60FPS ("4K") on a Sony PXW-Z150, and 720P 240FPS ("Slo-mo") on an iPhone 8.
This shoot wasn't "news" per-say but was a good chance to push the limits of News2Share's video equipment.

David Lett is a D.C. native, raised under the wings of his religious Catholic grandmother. Immediately after high school, David joined the seminary, making his way to Rome and picking up a minor in Chemistry a long the way. Shortly before taking his vows, David stepped away from the Church and underwent a life changing self-discovery. Twenty-one years ago, Lena Lett, David’s drag queen persona, was born. Lena spent her early years in D.C.’s gay community advocating for gay rights and educating people in the wake of the HIV/AIDS hysteria. He never lost his faith. In December 2011, David was ordained amongst his drag queen friends, said to have “dressed to the nines,” impressing even the bishop. To this day, David continues to serve the D.C. community as a priest and emcee, spreading the message of self-acceptance and delivering some world-class shade to his weekly drag show audience at TOWN.

Early this morning, News2Share received a video from a member of Anonymous. In it, an obscured male voice explains that Anonymous sides with the occupiers in the Oregon standoff. It specifically vocalizes a demand for justice in the shooting death of Robert "LaVoy" Finicum by the FBI.
In the video, helicopter footage showing the Finicum shooting is used twice paired with the sounds of a helicopter interior and gunshots. The FBI has not released audio from the incident, so that audio is likely fake.
The video was sent along with a transcript, but no further information:
"The FBI claim they want peace in Oregon but they have created the opposite.
Ammon Bundy, LaVoy Finicum, and the others only wanted peace. They even met with the FBI face to face.
And yet Finicum was killed in cold blood, as his hands were in the air. Just as Anonymous called for justice in the killing of Michael Brown we call for justice now.
The FBI has the weapons but they do not have the heart. It is time for Anonymous to engage.
We do not call for violence, or armed uprising. We call for Anonymous members to spread this fight online. Every citizen of the United States must hear our call. We want the identity of every agent who fired their weapon that day. We want justice for LaVoy. We stand with Ammon Bundy.
This fight is not over. As patriots sit in jail and await trial Anonymous will give them our full support.
When the government no longer fights for justice the internet will. We are justice.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive
We do not Forget.
We are Anonymous."

Climate activists hung a banner on the White House Fence Friday afternoon, their fourth time doing so this week. While each previous action resulted in arrest, three activists were given misdemeanor criminal citations and arrested this time on location.
Nikki Enfield, who disrupted the Supreme Court to protest the Dobbs ruling last year, Claire Hacker, a DC organizer with Extinction Rebellion, and Dee Thomas, an Appalachian who has protested the Mountain Valley Pipeline in West Virginia were all issued citations.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, best known for her role in the Russian Punk band "Pussy Riot" appeared Friday at the International Students for Liberty Conference in a Bernie Sanders tee-shirt. The conference, composed primarily of libertarian-minded college students, largely rejects Sanders, but nonetheless found common ground with Tolokonnikova on social issues such as drug policy and criminal justice.
