Gun Control Activist Attempts to Shoot Louisville Mayoral Candidate
You couldn’t make it up.
The Louisville Courier Journal reports:
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 fire a 9mm Glock handgun at Greenberg before fleeing the building.
. . .
Officers found a man matching the suspect description less than a half-mile from the campaign headquarters about 10 minutes later, carrying a loaded 9mm magazine in his pants pocket, according to the arrest report.
He also had a drawstring bag with a handgun, handgun case and additional magazines, the report said.
What had Quintez Brown been interested in as a writer? Here’s a recent piece he wrote for the, er, Courier Journal :
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.
If only Kentucky had kept its permitting system!

Glad no one was hurt.. It's just too funny to pass up, especially since I was assured just the other day that the left doesn't do assassinations.
Damn .... you really couldn’t make something like this up. Shows just how nuts some on the left truly are.
Probably put him out with no bail so he can kill some Asian lady.
Obviously driven by gunmakers' advertising.
He didn't do it! he's only guilty of transporting a gun! which isn't a crime in Kentucky.... It was the GUN that did it!
If he didn't carry it there then the gun wouldn't have had the opportunity to discharge...
I say it's racial oppression! Trump made him do it!
As an activist everyone should have a right to speak, even guns...
Only in America..
Yep, some real fundamentalist crackpottery there to be sure
How dare you put that picture up! You know what happens now.
