Strap in for a wild ride out of Louisville, KY. From Hot Air;<\/a><\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Who would pick up a firearm and try to kill a mayoral candidate? You\u2019ll be surprised.<\/p>\n 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:<\/p>\n A Louisville activist has been identified as a suspect in Monday\u2019s attempted shooting of mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Brown, a civil rights activist, is a former intern and editorial columnist for The Courier Journal.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n It gets even weirder, as Charles C.W. Cooke notes at National Review. Guess which pet cause Brown once championed? Opposition to constitutional carry:<\/p>\n Your life has no meaning to the irresponsible politicians in Frankfort who time and time again choose the National Rifle Association over your life.<\/p>\n Their support for Senate Bill 150, which allows Kentuckians to carry concealed weapons without a permit, is yet another warning: They\u2019ve put a price tag on your life and decided that the blood money they receive from the NRA is more valuable.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Oddly, the LCJ doesn\u2019t take note of Brown\u2019s 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 \u201cinvolved in the racial justice protests of 2020.\u201d The LCJ also notes that Brown went missing last summer for a couple of weeks but was found by family and friends.<\/p>\n More recently, Brown launched his own campaign for political office:<\/p>\n Quintez Brown, 21, is running to represent District 5 for Louisville\u2019s Metro Council.<\/p>\n \u201cFrederick Douglass said that the youth should fight to be leaders today, because the men who run this country are sick.\u201d – Kwame Ture pic.twitter.com\/tUCjXXG2hS<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Quintez Brown – District 5 (@tez4liberation) December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
