Gun control advocating BLM activist shoots at, tries to assassinate mayoral candidate
Strap in for a wild ride out of Louisville, KY. From Hot Air;
Fortunately, an assassination attempt on mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg missed him entirely. The Louisville Democrat felt the bullet graze his sweater before his campaign workers successfully and courageously barricaded the door against the assassin.
Who would pick up a firearm and try to kill a mayoral candidate? You’ll be surprised.
The Louisville Courier Journal had no trouble identifying the alleged assassin. As it turns out, Quintez Brown worked for the LCJ as both an intern and a columnist, as well as working as a civil-rights activist in the community:
A Louisville activist has been identified as a suspect in Monday’s attempted shooting of mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg.
Quintez Brown, 21, was charged with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment after Greenberg was shot at in his campaign headquarters Monday morning in Butchertown, LMPD spokeswoman Elizabeth Ruoff said late Monday.
Brown, a civil rights activist, is a former intern and editorial columnist for The Courier Journal.
A police report says a man later identified as Brown entered the building and fired a 9mm Glock handgun at Greenberg before fleeing the building.
It gets even weirder, as Charles C.W. Cooke notes at National Review. Guess which pet cause Brown once championed? Opposition to constitutional carry:
Your life has no meaning to the irresponsible politicians in Frankfort who time and time again choose the National Rifle Association over your life.
Their support for Senate Bill 150, which allows Kentuckians to carry concealed weapons without a permit, is yet another warning: They’ve put a price tag on your life and decided that the blood money they receive from the NRA is more valuable.
Every time lawmakers vote against gun safety, and thus the lives of our most vulnerable, they show that their hearts can be as cold as the steel of the guns they praise.
Oddly, the LCJ doesn’t take note of Brown’s gun-control activism in their report today on the shooting. Instead, they just offer a more generic take on his status as an editorial columnist, as well as being “involved in the racial justice protests of 2020.” The LCJ also notes that Brown went missing last summer for a couple of weeks but was found by family and friends.
More recently, Brown launched his own campaign for political office:

Brown’s platform was “revolutionary” and “Pan-African”:
To reach our goal of #OneBillionVoices I ask that you read and share this letter I wrote.
“We must become even more conscious of who we are and why we are in these circumstances. Then we must change these circumstances and construct a new world.” – Hueyhttps://t.co/QiyL8xj5hg

The “love letter” wasn’t exactly oriented toward Valentine’s Day kisses:
My call to action is simple. Voting and petitioning will not be sufficient for our liberation, but in the current moment it will be strategically used to reach the masses. I do not want to speak of a long road ahead of us because no such road exists. We are already here and it begins with you. Secure your number amongst the billion and commit yourself to win a new world side by side with a united left front. “From all according to ability.” Radicalize your natural environment, organize the people around you, and watch our numbers grow.

Typical DildoCrat, projecting what he does onto the opposition (conservatives, Republicans, 2A advocates, gun owners)
Heh. Even democrats are now seeing their spawn come home to roost, and they seem surprised. Well, at least this mayoral candidate anyway.
Glad nobody was injured or worse.
A liberal activist targeting a liberal activist….
Hold mah beer 🍺…

Lol
As ol’ Poe said on another thread yesterday, “The wheels are coming off.”
Ya gotta loveit… 😜
“May I take your order, sir?”
“Yes, please. I would like the schadenfreude special with an extra side of schadenfreude.”
“And to drink?”
“A glass of the schadenfreude ale, please.”
“Sir, I’m so sorry but you cannot smoke that pipe in here.”
“But…but…it’s packed with a my favorite blend of schadenfreude… 😉
Show me a law abiding criminal and I’ll show you a gun law that works!
Rumor has it, old Joe told Justin in that phone call to just hang a shotgun out the window and give two blast up in the air, that’ll scare them, eh….
If this dirtbag had used a shottie, he would have succeeded in sending the candidate to the morgue.
Quintez
— SIGH —
Claw up!
Quintez (NMN) Brown — Base Score of 40, apply multiplier as applicable.
Based on what ol’ Poe has seen of given names in that particular demographic, it could be worse, Mick. Like:
“Kwintezz…”
You think “Quintez” is bad?
Once knew a kid whose name was spelled Target (but pronounced “Tar-jay”)
Don’t know whatever became of him.
I am bumping Quintez down to Triquez as he rates only a 3 in that category.
Another useful idiot going to prison? Doubt it. He’ll be released to provide security for the mayor’s detail.
There is a go fund me to pay his bail. Can’t remember where I saw it.
Will gofundme grab a majority of the funds raised and “donate” to the charity of their choosing?
BLM is raising his bail.
Gun control is for those “racist” RethugliKKKans we’re trying to impose “social justice” upon, comrade!
(Ain’t that right? C’mon, progressives, tell me I’ve got it wrong… )
Faster than bulk mail in ballets?
If Lars had a roommate in collage.
It was a mostly peaceful assassination attempt to overthrow a lawfully elected government in the most fair and honest election ever.
How many FBI agents showed up to investigate?
As many as showed up to investigate the “noose” Bubba Wallace found?
Naw, zero cuz this cannot be a hate crime. The skin colors are wrong for a federal “hate crime.”
It will be made clear to the Judge assigning bail that ‘Mister’ Brown here is a victim of systemic-something-or-other and; his blood sugar was low, momma in the hospital, ‘he felt threatened’, mistakes were made…
Qinteliginz here will be released with a lolly and a hug in order to ‘organize the community’ just a little bit more.
But we’re the ‘bad guys’?
The system and hassles from The Man made him do it, of course.
His family and friends have already started pushing the mental illness defense
Sounds like an armed insurrection.
Only when Republicans say obnoxious stuff and dress in buffalo costumes, comrade!
Buffalo boy wasn’t a republican. Everything I saw on him indicates he was just a garden variety mental midget.
Perhaps, but he had so much fun with it.
Of course many Libs across the internet jumped on the story before the shooter was IDed, and they were all crowing about this being the fault of the far right, yadda yadda liberal talking points. Now there is nothing to see here, move along.
So just how soon will the liberal LCJ apologize for reporting on that and offer that “Poor Victim of Society” his job back?
Another dark skinned Caucasian male, like George Zimmerman. How tragic! ( sarcasm off)
I’m going to go out in a limb here and assume that Craig Greenberg is Jewish.
I have long been saying that all us Jews should have a gun and know how to use it.
I hope Mr. Greenberg takes his near miss to heart and goes out and gets a concealed carry permit
I can’t imagine you don’t know about this, but I’ll link it anyway: Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership
Jews for the Preservation of Firearms???
They must be Israelis… 😉
He sounds like an objective journalist/columnist/reporter to me!
Good job Louisville Courier Journal for adhering to the hiring standards of your peers!
-CNN (probably)
BLM Louisville will have the $100K bail posted in a week and he will be back on the street.
Welp, it didn’t take a week. Today some woman wearing a “Free Angela” (presumably Davis, who is already free in Berzerkeley) posted a cashier’s check for $100K for his bail. This pavement predator will likely be out on the street before the sun goes down. Thanks, BLM Louisville.
That D-rat candidate for mayor better get himself a gun or some armed security.
Your data is correct as reported by The Truth About Guns and Citizen Free Press.
The part that kills me is Convict-turned-‘Professor’ Davis is looooong before my time, so the poor kid in that photo has absolutely no clue. (esp given the disaster that is education these days)
These Commie 60s/70s Revolutiontard retreads can’t see the ground shifting under their own feet. The one contemporary crown jewel of ‘workers uniting’ is billed by they, and the corporations they love so much, as all the evil qualities of man distilled into an ‘insurrection’.
Kinzinger (R[ino]-IL) may have been correct about the cascade of violence, but absolutely incorrect about ‘picking a side’.
Let Freedom Ring.
BLM just bailed him out 100K.
Yep. Out of jail, out on bail.

The ANTIFA bomber if Florida was released also, charges dropped.
