The Jewish mayoral candidate in Louisville, Kentucky, who was the target of a shooting Monday said the release of the alleged gunman has left him and his family “traumatized again.”
“Our criminal justice system is clearly broken. It is nearly impossible to believe that someone can attempt murder on Monday and walk out of jail on Wednesday,” Greenberg, a Democrat, said in a statement today to local news outlets.
Meanwhile, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who represents Kentucky, is citing the incident as evidence that the Black Lives Matter movement is dangerous.
The suspect, 21-year-old Quintez Brown, had been an organizer with Black Lives Matter Louisville and an independent candidate for the city’s municipal council. The Louisville Community Bail Fund, an arm of the local Black Lives Matter chapter, paid the bail that secured his release, local outlets reported.
“This far-left Black Lives Matter activist and defund-the-police cheerleader walked into a Jewish Democrat’s campaign headquarters and opened fire,” McConnell told Fox News. “Less than 48 hours after this activist tried to literally murder a politician, the radical left bailed their comrade out of jail.” (McConnell’s tweet on the issue omitted the words “Jewish Democrat.”)
Ad Unmute Police responded swiftly to the shooting Monday, in which Greenberg’s clothing was grazed by a bullet but no one was hurt.

GoFundme is hosting a fundraiser to buy Quintez Brown range time. It’s been up for at least a day now. Could be worse. At least they aren’t raising money for food and fuel for truckers.

16 Feb: Fox News: Las Vegas Sun pins BLM activist shooting of mayoral candidate on ‘extremist Republicans’
‘Holy f***, @LasVegasSun,’ RealClearPolitics co-founder Tom Bevan tweeted
By Angelica Stabile; Fox News’ Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.
BLM activist Quintez Brown has been charged in the targeted shooting of mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg in Louisville, Kentucky, on Monday, but the Las Vegas Sun suggested that the incident is tied to right-wing extremism.
Although the suspect has advocated for socialist and communist ideals, and has criticized “gun-loving” Republicans in his writing as a former editorial columnist for the Louisville Courier Journal, the Sun was adamant that a history of violent rhetoric from politicians on the right, including President Trump, was enough motivation for the shooting.
“We’ve all heard this with our own ears: Trump drawing cheers at rallies by suggesting violence his opponents, GOP lawmakers and candidates trying to whip their followers into a frenzy with talk of taking up arms against so-called forms of ‘tyranny’ like mask mandates,” the editorial read...
The Sun drew its inspiration from a New York Times article which documented the trend of an alleged rise in threats against politicians from “extremist Republicans,” noting more than 75 related indictments since 2016.
Critics of the Sun’s take expressed outrage on Twitter. Sen. Ted Cruz’s, R-Texas special adviser for communications Steve Guest called it “brazen disinformation.”...

on Gutfeld! Thursday show, they mentioned the following Editor’s note, but said it was a bigger change than what is mentioned. I haven’t got time to try to locate the full original text to compare with the new one above:
16 Feb: Las Vegas Sun Editorial: Escalating hateful rhetoric leads nation down a dark, chaotic path
(BOTTOM OF ARTICLE) Editor’s note: This story has been updated to reflect reporting on the alleged shooter’s political ties.

“At least they aren’t raising money for food and fuel for truckers.”
Perish the thought. Somebody had a confederate flag once./s
Just remember the 1/6 protestors who are still locked up pending trial in Washington some for up to 1 year now, no chance for bail, solitary confinement and committed no acts of violence versus a BLM protestor who attempted to murder a Jewish Mayoral Candidate, is out in 2 days.
IMO, a voting system where you can’t trust the outcome and the unequal application of justice in the USA are the two biggest problems we face, if those two things remain broken we then have no country.

That’s the object. Sooner or later some melanin-deprived fellow with a room-temperature IQ will go to town and start shooting in retaliation, and there at last you’ll have a “white supremacist”. If it doesn’t happen, they’ll arrange it, which this very well might have been a half-a@@ed attempt at doing.
And then the deep state will have the pretext they want to suspend habeas corpus and clamp down on flyover land at last. CWII becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
BLM is an Anti-Semitic and violent hate group. They are openly supported by the Democratic Party, including Kamala Harris and Barack Obama.
In many media, they are ignoring the entire BLM angle and still reporting this as a right-wing anti-Semitic hate crime.
When basic facts are denied, we can no longer coexist with these people.
BLM is a criminal organization, aided and funded by another criminal organization, the democrat party.
They’re not denied, but ignored. Because they have no way of spinning them. Won’t need to co-exist with them much longer. Those that have an ounce of honesty will leave them. Those that do not will be marginalized and forgotten.
Remember those infomercials after Watergate going to great lengths to explain that Republicans are not evil incarnate, with movie and TV stars saying “I’m a Republican, and I haven’t eaten a live infant in years, and stopped beating my wife last week,” and rank and file Americans saying how awful it would be if there was only one party? Remember? That’s going to be the die-hard Dems soon.
And they’ve been caught! Why do you think BLM bailed Brown out? Loyalty? ‘cause he’s a brotha? Compassion? HA! They need to keep him quiet, because their false flag operation flopped. Later, they’ll get rid of him, silence him for good.
The great value of BLM and the allied Antifa groups, at least from the Democrat perspective was that they provided the brown shirt shock troops on the street to intimidate their opposition and the normies, but left a veneer of plausible deniability.
It was an unforced error on their part to erode that, but it’s political malpractice on the part of the GOPe to fail to take advantage.
Not surprising, but disappointing.
Ever wonder how the BLM can get away with things the Mafia can’t.
Something more powerful than a criminal organization can we say democrat party?.
