As Twitchy reported, Louisville activist and journalist Quintez Brown has been charged in a shooting that targeted Craig Greenberg, a Democratic candidate for Louisville mayor. As a journalist, Brown wrote such opinion pieces for the Courier-Journal as, “Kentucky concealed carry law shows your life doesn’t matter to gun-loving Republicans.”
We thought that was the twist ending, but it gets better. The Washington Free Beacon’s Chuck Ross shares that as a high school student and activist, Brown appeared with MSNBC’s Joy Reid to cover the gun control March for Our Lives inspired by the Parkland shooting and said he “loves” David Hogg.

The video is still up on MSNBC’s website. “At the March for Our Lives, high school protester Quintez Brown has a message for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, from his home state of Kentucky: If you don’t give us common sense gun reform, we’re going to vote you out of office. Fellow student organizer Nyah Mattison also shares their potent message with Joy Reid.”
@JoyAnnReid you sure know how to pick ‘em!

He's mostly peaceful.

That's a pretty extreme way to prove his own point

I was wondering why the media was so quiet about this shooting.
— Cary Dunn (@cfdarch) February 15, 2022
Have they offered him a contract yet?
— 🇺🇸DG🇺🇸 (@7pints) February 15, 2022
Ok so he shot but missed. So there’s that.
And he is a community activist.
During Brown's arraignment, his attorney, Rob Eggert, asked to keep his bond low, described him as "well known in the community" with no record other than a speeding ticket.

You really can’t make this shit up
— David Deckert (@thunderman115) February 15, 2022
We really need to keep guns out of the hands of gun control activists.

Vote you out. Or shoot you. Definitely one of these. Yes

Classic. Anyone who calls themselves an activist usually is just a loser

Safe to assume this won’t make it into Brian’s nightly media newsletter

And down the MSM memory hole goes this story.

Will @JoyAnnReid condemn this attack?
— WH Art Appraiser (@HHrvynia) February 15, 2022
Hrrm. Maybe guns aren't the problem, eh?

Clarifying that the “anti-gun” position is in fact pro-illegal usage.
— The Intentional Walk (@challengeflag) February 15, 2022
It was a mostly peaceful shooting

Does David Hogg have an opinion? I mean he always does. Where’s he at on this one?
— Gerch737 (@gerch737) February 15, 2022
Two things I never trust: gun control activists and high school kids.
— Hey I'm New At This (@Pennell10Dan) February 15, 2022
So the one guy they decide to talk to about supporting gun control committed a gun crime?
— Tim Ruggiero, CFI 🇺🇸🔎 (@TimRuggiero) February 15, 2022
I knew the attacker was a lefty as soon as I saw an article about it.
If he were on the right, there'd be zillions of articles instead of just a few.
And we'd know every detail of his political beliefs, associations, and history.
— Martel (@Martel2112) February 15, 2022
He's also a black nationalist and socialist. No shock there.
— Marty Gatz (@DillGatz) February 15, 2022
Looking forward to @mkraju asking every Dem Senator to condemn this attack on a Jewish mayoral candidate by a BLM activist.
— WH Art Appraiser (@HHrvynia) February 15, 2022
LMAO. Just proves there are plenty of gullible, disconnected from reality people out there, who will say anything too get attention. Hogg is a clueless media whore nitwit looking for fame & glory & obviously knows zero about guns or gun owners.
