You’ve doubtless heard the story by now. A well-known Black Lives Matter gun control activist walks into the headquarters of a Louisville, Ky. mayoral candidate and opens fire with a 9mm handgun. The gunman, Quintez Brown, isn’t some random BLM protestor, he’s been praised by Barack Obama, appeared on MSNBC numerous times, and has received awards for his social justice activism.
In short, this is a BLM activist fighting for civil rights who decided, for some reason, that he needed to try and murder a Democratic mayoral candidate. Brown has ironically been an outspoken advocate for gun control, calling for a ban on AR-15 rifles, among other things.
For some reason, a local BLM chapter in Kentucky decided that it would be a great idea to raise $100,000 in bail money to spring Brown out of jail:
A man who is charged with the attempted murder of a mayoral candidate in Louisville is no longer in jail after a local Black Lives Matter chapter teamed up with a community bail fund to post his bail.
Quintez Brown, 21, who is said to be a “social justice activist” running as a candidate for Louisville’s metro council, allegedly tried to assassinate Democrat mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg.
The man Brown attempted to assassinate, Craig Greenberg, happens to be Jewish, bringing another potential motive of antisemitism into the conversation. Greenberg survived the attack, but pictures afterward show a bullet grazed his sweater. Greenberg and Brown undoubtedly shared many political views hailing from the same political party.
As the DailyMail reports, Brown was named a “rising star” in 2019 in a program by former President Barack Obama:
He was named as a ‘rising face’ by Barack Obama’s foundation in 2019, and was one of just 22 participants chosen for the former president’s My Brother’s Keeper program, which is aimed at closing achievement gaps, and which saw Brown meet the former president.
The alleged attempted murderer still appears as a changemaker the Obama website bragging of his status as a role model for local boys.
The bail, originally set at $75,000, was raised to $100,000 due to fear that Brown posed a threat to himself and the general public. For some reason, BLM Louisville along with other BLM-related organizations decided to raise bail money and spring Brown from jail.
There is no reason Brown should be out on bail after such a brazen violent attempt to murder one of his political opponents.
Jewish groups across the country have pointed out the glaring omission of the possible antisemitism and hate crime angle to the incident, and are asking why Brown was ever considered for release:
Why has the Mainstream Media completely ignored the Antisemitic/JewHatred motives behind the BLM attacker, in his attempted assassination of the Jewish Mayoral candidate in Louisville Kentucky?

Beyond the hate crime aspect, why on earth would BLM organizations join forces to raise money for someone who so blatantly disregards human life and clearly attempted to murder a political opponent?
It’s simple, really, because according to BLM, no one deserves jail time of any kind, not even attempted murderers:
#BLM Louisville, the official chapter that paid $100k to bail out one of their fellow activists who allegedly tried to assassinate @RunWithCraig, stands by its support of Quintez Brown. They say no one belongs in jail, regardless if they're violent or not. https://t.co/JaohKgGndY

That should be all you really need to know about Black Lives Matter as an organization. Standing by attempted murderers and standing against any semblance of law and order.
In another ultimate irony, as pointed out by Sen. Tom Cotton, contributors who gave money to the Canadian Trucker Freedom Convoy are being harassed for handing over a few bucks while BLM in Louisville raises $100k for an attempted murderer:
The media is harassing Americans who gave $20 to the Canadian truck convoy.
They should be asking BLM donors if they support paying bail for the Louisville BLM leader charged with attempted assassination of a Jewish politician.

This is the state of politics right now. If you stand against the medical bureaucracy and ask for your medical freedom, you’re harassed as a terrorist. Raise money on behalf of the media’s favorite social justice organization to bail out an attempted murderer, nothing to see here!
