New at PJ Media:
A great deal is known about Quintez Brown, who faces attempted murder charges after he shot at Louisville, Kentucky mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg. As PJM’s Rick Moran noted Tuesday, Brown is “a black activist who supports ‘Pan-Africanism.’” He has been interviewed on MSNBC by Joy Reid, has been (oddly enough) an anti-gun activist, and his $100,000 bail was paid by Black Lives Matter. Despite all this, however, the Las Vegas Sun, a reliable cog in the huge Leftist propaganda machine known as the mainstream media, sees the palsied hand of “extremist Republicans” in Quintez Brown’s actions and is seizing the opportunity to denounce those unhinged right-wing extremists who are endangering us all.
Greenberg is a Democrat, which is about the only fact about this case that might lead anyone to think that Brown was a Republican, an impression that a few seconds of perusing Brown’s record would dispel. In an unsigned editorial, however, the Sun did its best to obscure that record, referring to Brown only as a “political activist” and adding: “While there’s been no indication yet that the activist had ties to any right-wing organizations, the shooting comes amid a rise in threats against politicians fueled by increasingly violent rhetoric coming from extremist Republicans.”
Tom Bevan, the co-founder and president of Real Clear Politics, cried foul on Wednesday: “Holy f*ck, @LasVegasSun. This editorial was written after the alleged shooter, Quintez Brown, was identified as a left-wing BLM activist.” Did the Las Vegas Sun retract its editorial and issue a correction and an apology for smearing conservative Americans over the actions of a far-Left activist? Come on, man! This is the establishment media we’re talking about. The Sun adjusted its editorial to include a backhanded reference to the truth while perpetuating their original smear. The editorial now reads: “While it’s been reported that the activist was involved in the Black Lives Matter and gun-safety movements and there has been no indication yet that he had ties to any right-wing organizations, the shooting comes amid a rise in threats against politicians fueled by increasingly violent rhetoric coming from extremist Republicans.”
“No indication yet.” Even with all the evidence of Quintez Brown’s hard-Left activism, the Sun is still hoping that it will all turn out to have been an elaborate ruse, and Brown will be unmasked as a white supremacist, MAGA-hat wearing Trump supporter. You never know what those crafty right-wingers, who are abject morons to a man, will do next, eh, Sun editors?
There is more. Read the rest here.

You forgot the Bernie Sanders supporter who shot Steve Scalise and the left-wing nutjob who attacked Rand Paul while he was mowing his lawn.
Satire about slaying a political opponent is bad enough, but this is the third case I can think of in the last few years where a leftist thug attacked a conservative. And let’s not forget the dozens killed in the BLM riots while peaceful Canadians practicing civil disobedience are being thrown in jail and having their assets seized by a wannabe dictator who didn’t even win his election.

The Las Vegas Sun is obviously infected with the irrational left wing ideology of dishonesty and outright madness of political correctness.. Therefore with this PC mindset the Sun completely disregards printing the truth. In other words, the SUN thus throws away the entire concept of objective professional journalism.
Regarding that domestic Marxist terror organization called BLack Lives Matter which masquerades under the falsehood that it’s some kind of real ,genuine, “Civil Rights group.”
On this subject one night on Conservative talk radio a Black man called in and he was right on the mark when he said that the letter BLM must really stand for “Burn, Loot, Murder.”

He ‘shot AT’, isn’t ‘shot’!
So, which was it!?
gravenimage says
Craig Greenberg was shot at in his office, and the attempt left a hole in his sweater. Really, this isn’t bad enough for you?
WPM says
Brown,s social media pages have been scrubbed he had a lot of anti-Semitic stuff on it reported on other websites Mr. Greenburg being Jewish might have something to do with the shooting ?If Mr. Brown was a white guy with anti-Semitic ranting on his social media pages we would be hearing the MSM full on TDS how Trump pushed this man,s buttons to shoot at Jewish democrat running for mayor ?Like the guy who ran down people with his car at a Christmas parade this will quickly fad from the MSM attention because it does not meet its leftist agenda .He is out on 100K bail while the Jan.6 people have been held with no bail for over 2 years awaiting trail. What is more of a threat to the public at large and people in public office trespassing and minor vandalism or trying to shoot someone running for mayor in his office?

I really wish Quintez Brown could be interviewed, if not by Joy Reid, by someone else asking him where he got his gun, whether it was legal and why did he – a gun hating activist – bother to get one?
The other question he should be asked is what he has against the Jooooooooooooooooos!
Honestly, the only solution I see to these BLM bailouts as well as the renegade Soros DAs that we have all over the country – San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, St Louis, Philly, Manhattan… – would be vigilantes taking them out and then disappearing. After all, the police won’t go after them, since they know that the DA is not gonna prosecute them, so they’d not only skate, but would also be doing society a favor. Our cities are now like the Wild West – actually much worse
WPM says
He is out on bail I am sure his lawyer will not have him doing any interviews that “might damage” his case. I saw they “the MSM” are now saying he could be mental ill and suffering from PTS from the COVID lock down. The spin to protect this BLM darling is going to be strong from the elites running the MSM in my humble opinion. According the MSM anti-Semitic attacks by groups or individuals on the higher protect victim classes (Moslems ,Blacks ect) do not count, just like the violent attacks on Asian Americans in major blue cities being made by the same protected victim class of people. White non-Moslem guy does violent attacks on Jewish people, or Asians a major story ,a black activist belonging to a communist outfit BLM tries to assassinate a Jewish democrat running for mayor he (Brown) before this he posted anti-Semitic ranting on his social media page nothing to see MSM reports here, and he must be mental ill, no more coverage ..He is out on 100K bail ,for attempted murder of someone running for office if he is truly mental ill and violent why is he not locked up in some mental hospital to protect the general public until his trail or hearing on his “mental condition”.?

I can’t believe he is out on bail after invading this candidate’s office and attempting to murder him.
WPM says
A terrorist, communist, anti-American, anti-family group the darling of major corporations (they gave billions to them) sports teams paint their courts with their logos ,print BLM on their team Jerseys. A piss in the ocean is100k bail to them is nothing to them .BLM cause billions of dollars in damages, killing up to 20 people ,injuring thousands using extortion to squeeze money from local ,federal and state governments beside billions from corporations. The KKK at its pike in the 1920s has nothing on BLM in using terror to gets its way. This young man is a terrorist plane and simple ,he belongs to a terrorist outfit ,he try to murder a man running for public office .All the damage, caused by BLM gets the blessing from the MSM and the democratic party. The democrats back the KKK in the 1860s to 1970s now they are backing the BLM in 2020 till?.

To your point:
I went to my niece’s wedding in New York City about eight years ago – when the city was still somewhat same.
I won’t go back unless accompanied by a couple of Navy SEALs.

I cant label the writer a complete moron, whoever it was knew better than to sign it.
somehistory says
People on the “left” can’t get anything “right.”
Psychopaths never accept blame or responsibility and, like buzzards flock, psychopaths seem to support each other when one is a killer and the other is a “reporter.”
When I first saw this story in the news….that the guy was “shot at, …I had a feeling it would be used to say that his opponent was behind the attempt. They all follow the same pattern….lie, lie and lie some more.
Walter Sieruk says
One tragedy of that false Las Vegas Sun “news” article’s outlandishly false new report is that most all of media nationwide is so thoroughly contaminated by the terrible ideology of political correctness that fake news “reporting” is common and likewise truth is now totally disregard in favor of bogus PC propaganda.
It’s terrible the days professional ethical genuine are over and gone.

LameBear says
Really?
Quintez Brown is “out on bail”?
I expect he “promised” to be good?
Why is he out and the people who were just milling around Jan 6 are still in jail?
Our Founders would have been shooting by now!
WPM says
Unarmed trespassers that did minor vandalism the only death that day was an unarmed women at the hands of the capital police. They are being held without bail for over 2 years. This mutt get a hold of an unregistered handgun and tries to kill a man running for mayor ,out on 100k bail a two tier court system depending on what your political beliefs are. The AG for the federal government still beating the bushes in the backwoods looking for the last elderly KKK members before they die of old age. BLM collecting billions from major corporations willing to pay extortion to them after the “summer of love riots of 2020”.Yes we live in interesting times when will the United States government go “full Canada” and start taking over peoples bank accounts because of their political beliefs or supporting the wrong political causes??
WPM says
What will be the next emergency after the people stop paying attention to the China flu, lock downs, masks, vaccine passports ect.? Will we enter a major war with Russian so our government can grab more power over our daily lives?
OLD GUY says
it’s time to down size our Federal Government. It is NOT the Federal Governments job to run our lives. Get the power back to the states and the local people where it belongs. Our federal Government has over stepped its position and is interfering with our personnel freedom which is guaranteed in the Constitution.
Many of our political leaders have or are overstepping their authority and are stealing not only our tax dollars but our freedom as well. Its time to get them out of office.
