Was I wrong? Should I not have done that?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Police have arrested a suspect they say was responsible for the attempted murder of Louisville Democratic mayoral candidate Craig Greenburg.
Quintez Brown, 21, was taken into custody Monday. He has been charged with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment. According to USLegal.com, wanton endangerment refers to an act or an instance of putting someone or something in danger or exposure to peril or harm.
His arraignment happened Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. where he pleaded not guilty. Brown's bond was raised to $100,000 and if posted will be released to the Home Incarceration Program (HIP). His lawyer says a mental evaluation will be done.
Quintez Brown has also been issued a no contact order for Greenburg and his employees or campaign staff. Brown also has no-firearm order as well.
He will be back in court on February 23 at 9 a.m.
Brown is a well-known activist and organized youth protests during the social justice movements of the summer of 2020. He often wrote opinion columns about race relations in the Courier Journal.
He was also the subject of a missing person investigation last June. Brown had gone missing in late June 2021, leading to a citywide search. He was eventually found, and his family had asked for privacy while they focused on his mental, physical and spiritual health.
Brown recently announced that he was planning to run for Metro Council's District 5 seat.
What happened?
Greenberg said he and his staff were at a campaign office for a meeting when he said a man walked into the office. Upon greeting the man, later identified as Brown, that’s when Greenberg said he allegedly pulled out a gun, pointed it at him and fired.

A staff member, he said, was able to close the door on Brown and the team was able to barricade themselves inside until police arrived.
Police said Brown was stopped about a half-mile from the Story Avenue campaign office where they allege he was carrying a drawstring bag, containing a 9mm gun and additional magazines.
Greenberg said the incident left him and his staff “shaken, but safe.”
The shooting has left the community with more questions than answers in this incident.
Louisville Metro Police Chief Erika Shields didn’t have immediate answers but said the department would investigate any possible motive.
"Mr. Greenberg is Jewish, so there’s that, we don’t know if it’s tied to the candidates or is political or if we are dealing with someone with mental issues or is venomous," she said. "We are looking at this from all angles."
Greenberg said he would not comment any further until the investigation is complete.
Was I wrong? Should I not have done that?
He’s almost suited to be Biden’s next Supreme Court justice.
Sounds like someone did something over non-payment for drugs that wouldn’t get a fly high.
“Notice how ONLY people on the Left are “activists?””
Yep. And conservatives are always “fringe” or “radical”
This poor stupid Jewish Democrat, in addition almost getting his head blown off, is about to be tarred and feathered by the media for daring to be a victim of BLM Activist.
To keep the narrative going, they’re going to have to paint this schmuck as a racist pig who had it coming.
Just watch.
I’d almost feel bad for the guy, if he wasn’t an apikoros and an embarrassment to the Jewish people.
No real surprise from the same city that gave Breonna Taylor's mom 12 MILLION dollars. We live just south of Louisville, our hometown, and it hurts like hell to see what it has become. We sat and watched BLM/Breonna Taylor marches through the city. Watched a livestream where protesters actually tried to break into my husband's work (he worked at Metrosafe as a 911 calltaker, he's since left there and went to a smaller town. MUCH happier. NO, they didn't get in, but STILL) Watched another livestream where officers were shot at and heard them scream 'SHOTS FIRED OFFICERS HIT' (two cops shot that night, thankfully non-life-threatening injuries)
Yes KY is solid red (went for Trump handily in both 2016 and 2020) but as someone on here mentioned, Louisville has been getting more and more blue as time goes on. Current Mayor Greg Fischer is on his last term (THANK. GOD.) and I can't wait to see him leave, but I'm not holding my breath on his replacement being any better.
