Former Student Gun Reform Leader Charged for Assassination Attempt of Louisville Mayoral Candidate

A Louisville, KY liberal activist, Quintez Brown was arrested and charged with the attempted murder of Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg (D). Brown has also been charged with four counts of wanton endangerment.

A possible motive for the attempted murder is currently unknown. On Monday morning, Louisville police responded after multiple shots were fired at Greenberg’s campaign headquarters, luckily no one was injured or struck. A sweater Greenberg was wearing had been grazed by a bullet.

Police found Brown with a loaded magazine less than half of mile away, and he was taken into custody at the time.

While a freshman at college, Brown was one of 22 students in the country invited to meet with Barack Obama and attend the Obama Foundation’s My Brother’s Keeper Alliance in Oakland Califonia.

In 2018 Brown joined MSNBC Host Joy Reid for a segment that was covering students participating in “March For Our Lives”, a protest in Washington D.C. that was demanding stricter gun laws. During the segment, Brown calls on Senate majority leader at the time Mitch McConnell to act on guns saying, “get rid of assault rifles”.

Brown was also an opinion writer for the ‘Courier Journal‘. He wrote an article titled, ‘Kentucky’s concealed carry law shows your life doesn’t matter to gun-loving Republicans’.

The article begins with, Your life has no meaning to the irresponsible politicians in Frankfort who time and time again choose the National Rifle Association over your life.

Their support for Senate Bill 150, which allows Kentuckians to carry concealed weapons without a permit, is yet another warning: They’ve put a price tag on your life and decided that the blood money they receive from the NRA is more valuable.

Every time lawmakers vote against gun safety, and thus the lives of our most vulnerable, they show that their hearts can be as cold as the steel of the guns they praise. 

He concluded the article with, To them, your life doesn’t matter. And until we elect politicians who are truly committed to democracy and human rights, who truly believe that all people are created equal — rather they be undocumented immigrants, trans people, or unhoused people — we must continue to disrupt, resist and fight for humanity.

Ironic remarks from a man now charged with attempted murder of another human. Somewhere he seems to have dropped his ideologue, something broke or was always broken it appears. Much of Brown’s writings and commentary seem to fit the liberal Democrat narrative. Until this arrest, he seemed to be almost a poster boy for their messaging in our view.
