The man accused of shooting at a Louisville mayoral candidate inside his campaign office is out of jail after his bond was paid by a Black Lives Matter group.
Quintez Brown, 21, left Louisville Metro Corrections Wednesday night after police said he was identified as the gunman who opened fire inside Craig Greenberg's office in Butchertown on Monday.
There were five people in the room when gunshots rang out. No one was hit, but Greenberg's sweater was grazed.
Brown was arrested about a half mile from the scene and was charged with attempted murder and four counts of wanton endangerment.
He was being housed downtown in the Louisville Metro Department of Corrections. That was until his bond was paid Wednesday.
An organizer with the Louisville Community Bail Fund, a project by Black Lives Matter Louisville, said they posted the $100,000 full cash bond for Brown on Wednesday afternoon.
The Jefferson County Attorney's Office confirmed Brown will be in the home incarceration program. Brown left the Hall of Justice, surrounded by relatives and supporters, just before 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Brown made no comment upon his release.
Chanelle Helm with the Community Bail Fund defended the decision to post his bond.
"What we become so enthralled in is knowing there is a system willing to punish people even before they are officially charged with their crimes," Helm said.
She said Brown deserves the chance to utilize the due process of the justice system despite the high profile nature of those involved in the incident.
"We're talking about jail, we're talking about a system that has people sit in jail for years without seeing hearings and trials and play back and forth with their mental health," she said.
Helm added that there was an outcry to get Brown out of jail due to mental health concerns. But his release was also met with disdain by city leaders.
Metro Council President David James sent this statement to WLKY upon news of his release:
"It's unfortunate Mr. Brown has been bailed out of jail, due to his propensity to violence. I think it's irresponsible and I hope those who contributed to posting this bond are prepared to be held accountable if Mr. Brown injures someone while out."
Mayor Greg Fischer also issued a statement:
"Quintez Brown's bond and release have been decided independently by a judge. Mr. Brown will be monitored by the Department of Corrections, consistent with Home Incarceration Program rules and regulations and any conditions set forth in the court order, including use of a GPS monitoring device and home checks. Alerts will notify HIP personnel if the device is tampered with or goes outside the geofence."
Walking into a government building after the police hold the door open for you, can get you a year in solitary confinement.
Attempted assassination and he gets bail? Amazing.
Does that mean Kamala Harris posted his bond?
Black priviledge
He’s black…
So, the principle with bond and bail is that the accused personally put his assets on the line. That’s what encourages ongoing cooperation with the crooked system. Put all you own on the line, and most people show up.
Get out of jail free? Now the only encouragement is how much you believe you will caught if and when you skip.
We are living in upside down world. Bizarro World.
May you live in interesting times has come true.
And when will BLM’s money be frozen. When will a list of all donors info be posted and anyone who donated will be fired and run out of town….. looks like. Long wait::: /sarc…
Why does blm support anti-semitism?
We are being warned against...not just by BLM and Antifa, but by the government.
Cuz we wuz kangz!
“When will a list of all donors info be posted and anyone who donated will be fired and run out of town”
Probably never but it appears one of the donors has been runout of DC, that would be Kamala Harris. Although she hasn’t been fired she is on paid leave.
Was the DA put in office by Soros?
He’s just misunderstood.
Black is bad. Black is lawless. Black is African, not American
So, attempted murder, aggravated assault...you get a bond.
Being in the Capitol on January 6, 2021....you don’t get a bond.
This is the guy that CNN called a Republican Trump MAGA white supremist.
So now, according to CNN, a BLM lunatic is a MAGA member.
I don't know if the DA argued for no-bail or for lenient bail. I don't know how bail was initially set at $75,000 either.
In a Tuesday morning arraignment hearing, Brown's bond was raised from $75,000 to $100,000 full cash, according to WLKY.BLM, gun-control activist arrested - The Post Millennial, February 15
Attempted assassination of a democrat by a black
definitely qualifies as bizarre.
