Authorities say three men have died in a shooting at a restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky.
News outlets report that Louisville Metro Police said a shooting was reported Friday night at Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Grill.
The owner Joe Bishop who is a former cop was still in disbelief the day after three customers were killed in a shooting at his restaurant, Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Grill.
“I didn’t think I’d be scrubbing blood off my patio on a Saturday morning,” Bishop told WDRB News. “I thought I was getting ready for everybody to watch the ballgame.”
Bishop said he had just gone to sleep when he got a call around 11:15 p.m. Friday from one of his managers about a shooting at the restaurant. When he got to the scene, one of the victims had been rushed to a hospital, and two others were lying on the patio. According to Bishop, it was a normal Friday night at Bungalow Joe’s when a man walked up to the restaurant and shot three customers, all men, who were sitting in the patio area at point-blank range.
Nobody had ever seen this guy before,” Bishop said, referring to the shooter. “It was a totally random act.” Police arrested 33-year-old Michael E. Rhynes Jr. around 12 a.m. Saturday, the news outlet reports. He faces three counts of murder. The suspect was smiling from ear to ear as he was arrested for the shooting at Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Grill.
The shooter was wearing a “Justice for Breonna Taylor” t-shirt. The mainstream media completely ignored the story and the fact that he was wearing the t-shirt that BLM activists wear.
Taylor became a Black Lives Matter martyr after being killed by Louisville Police during a “‘knock and announce” raid, during which her drug dealer boyfriend shot at police.
If the story was opposite and a white man with a MAGA shirt entered a bar and killed three people the mainstream media would have made a major headline from the story.

A Louisville police spokeswoman says three men were found by police to have gunshot wounds. Two died at the scene of the shooting and another died at a hospital.
The Jefferson County Coroners Office identified one of the men Saturday as 24-year-old Steven Matthew Head, of Louisville. The other two men were later identified as 26-year-old Toreon Jermaine Hudson and 48-year-old William Scott Smallwood.
Hudson has a young daughter, per the GoFundMe for his family.
2020 has surpassed Louisville’s previous record for yearly homicides, after four men were shot and killed in two separate incidents late Friday and early Saturday, according to police.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office later identified the victims as Steven Matthew Head, 24; Toreon Jermaine Hudson, 26; and William Scott Smallwood, 48, all of Louisville.
Police did not provide additional details about what led to the shooting, which reportedly occurred outside Bungalow Joe’s Bar and Restaurant.
Art Assevado has admitted that at least one of his officers was shot by friendly fire (a fellow officer).
Ballistics doesn’t support your story that the man fired through the door even though the officers did fire into the house.
Please cite a source, so I can use it.
“Michael Rhynes Jr.”
How long before this POS is ‘sainted’ and BLM starts burining down Louisville?
It occurred in the Breonna Taylor case, but not in the Houston case.
The findings provide additional details to Maloney’s initial report in July, in which he concluded officers fired some shots through the home’s exterior wall — meaning they were unable to see anyone inside — including the round that killed Nicholas.
His most recent findings also suggest that Tuttle may have been lying on the ground when one of the shots hit him.
...While authorities pursued their probes, Doyle hired an outside consultant — forensics expert Maloney — to review the case on his own. After combing through the couple’s home for four days in May, the retired supervisory special agent with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service found dozens of pieces of evidence that the city’s crime scene teams had left behind, including teeth and bullet fragments. At the time, Doyle said the missed evidence could be a sign of a lackluster investigation.
“It doesn’t appear that they took the basic steps to confirm and collect the physical evidence to know whether police were telling the truth,” he said. “That’s the whole point of forensic scene documentation. That’s the basic check on people just making stuff up.”
In July, Maloney released more findings, suggesting police fired from outside the home and questioning whether Tuttle ever fired back.
I’ve not heard about this either.
The Media, The Left(but I repeat myself), Pro Sports and any idiots who have given support to BLM are largely responsible for this. Of course the shooter is ultimately reasonable but all the above helped with this.
Briana Taylor was fired from the Louisville EMS for selling drugs from the back of her ambulance. Briana Taylor held the money for her drug gang. Briana Taylor rented the houses the gang used to sell drugs from. Briana Taylor rented the cars her drug runners used to deliver drugs in her gang. Briana Taylor was killed in a work accident when her boyfriend shot at cops, the cops shot back and she was in the crossfire in the hallway.
Briana Taylors estate collects $12,000,000.00 in compensation from the city of Louisville as the result of her work related accident.
We live in interesting times.
I never said Denis Tuttle fired through the door.
But, I can see how you could interpret my comment that way.
This compensation thing is so far removed form what reality and what it should be.
This guy, Office Tatum, offers his opinion. According to him this stuff goes back to 2016.
WHY DID POLICE PAY BREONNA TAYLOR’S FAMILY $12M?

the guy who shot at police was not a drug dealer, was not on the warrant, and if he had been the one dead, would be thecposter child for police no knock warrants getting innocent gun owners killed.
he had armed men crashing into the apartment, he shot at them, and they wildly returned fire, hitting and killing the unarmed woman who was not shooting at them.
How long will the good people of this country stand for this crap before they start fighting back?
I was too young to remember much of the Vietnam era, and I have foggy memories of the Watergate hearings playing on the TV when I was young.
I always thought Walter Cronkite was a man worthy of respect until I read an opinion somewhere that said “Walter Cronkite should be shot for treason”. I was a bit shocked by it at the time.
That was somewhere in my mid-teens, not long after Dan Blather took over Cronkite’s seat. It piqued my interest and was more or less the beginning of me learning about the realities of politics and the media.
Whether they truly announced themselves a big part of the contention. My understanding is that even the neighbor disputed the fact that an announcement was made. There is also reports that one of the officers fired shot into the home without any target in sight.
Personally, the no-knock raid need to go away, except in extreme circumstances.
The NY Times article indicated some neighbors say they shouted POLICE only once and Mr Walker says he didn’t hear them (but he did hear the other noise thinking it was her convicted drug dealer ex-boyfriend).
I’m not a fan of the no-knock raids.
Fight back, go directly to jail and face financial ruin defending yourself.
Don’t fight back, go to work tomorrow, take the family to the lake on Saturday, and carry on with your life. That’s how the left has set it up.
Everyone is reluctant to be the first to take a stand. Look what’s happening to Kyle Rittenhouse.
It needs to become an organized movement that will stand behind and assist people who get in trouble for doing the right thing. Legal defense needs to be built into it.
People have to feel like they’re not alone, not the only one risking it all to stop the insanity when the moment comes to make a decision that could affect the rest of one’s life.
When I was young kind of the same thing happened to me. Except I didn’t reach for my gun. They were after my boyfriend who was kind of a bad boy. I had never dealt drugs in my life but the raid was supposedly because I was dealing. Once they were in and going through my apartment I realized what they were after. Me to flip on him. They arrested me for 8, yes 8, whites they found in my purse. Next day someone from the DA’s office showed up to talk to (threaten) me about prosecution if I didn’t tell them every thing I knew about his misdeeds. I didn’t and they had to drop the case.
Not true, I read on FR that according to the Independent Ballistics report that the husband and wife never knew what hit them.
Carry, Train, and get U.S. Law Shield coverage.
It is not quite the same thing.
And, the independent ballistics review was only one of at least three crime scene evaluations.
The Grand Jury focused on exactly what happened with the crime scene and ballistics is ongoing, as I recall. They DA says they are looking at who fired what, when and who hit who. So, it is still somewhat indeterminate.
It is the last part of a three part investigation by the DA, into the whole mess. At least six police charged with felonies, so far.
