On Monday, a Black Lives Matter activist opened fire in Louisville, Kentucky, in an apparent assassination attempt of mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg. Quintez Brown, who had previously been honored by Barack Obama and lauded by MSNBC’s Joy Reid, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and four other counts of wanton endangerment for the crime.

Brown was a key organizer during the BLM protests of 2020 and an outspoken proponent of gun control. Astonishingly, even after his identity was revealed, some media outlets still attempted to connect his actions to the rhetoric of the right, an absolutely absurd contention.

Now, in another odd development, Brown is getting out of jail. The judge handling his case set his bail at just $100,000, an amount you’d expect for a far lesser crime, and that’s being paid by none other than Black Lives Matter.

Just spoke with @BLMLouisville. They are heading to the bank to get a cashiers check to post Quintez Brown’s bail. Brown is charged with attempted murder for allegedly shooting at mayoral candidate @RunWithCraig.

BLM Louisville is an official chapter of the national BLM organization, so while some may attempt to spin this as a local organization doing its own thing, that isn’t true in this instance. Of course, the national BLM organization has essentially gone dark after getting caught enriching activists and doing little else with the millions of dollars it received, so it’s unlikely they gave a direct order here to bail Brown out. Regardless, the relationship and representation are there between this chapter and the national BLM movement. It would be completely disingenuous to suggest otherwise.

The BLM Louisville Twitter account has commented on Brown’s case several times over the last few days, including this incoherent mess of a defense of his actions.

The radicalization of any Black person in a American is justification of erasure of the genocide against Black people.

We, like you, have no idea what transpired in this situation.

I have no idea what that even means, but it’s clear that BLM Louisville has deep sympathies for Brown, and those sympathies have driven the group to use donated money to set an attempted murderer free. Apparently, they found some extra cash between buying lucrative pieces of property, a habit among BLM activists.

Meanwhile, instead of expressing outrage at these overtly corrupt developments, the mainstream media are busy trying to dox people who gave $50 to the Freedom Convoy. BLM donors funding the bail of attempted murderers, though? Not even worth a mention in The Washington Post.

The Washington Post is contacting people whose donation info was leaked and who gave as little as 40 dollars to the truckers to ask them why they did so

In the end, I’m left almost impressed at how the BLM organization has managed to insulate itself from accountability by using charges of racism as a shield. Most politicians on both sides of the aisle, outside of a few Republicans, have either remained silent or actively promoted the scam movement over the last two years. That has only emboldened the bad actors within BLM, who continue to use donor money for all sorts of wild, immoral things. Now, we can add blowing cash on attempted murderers to their list of excesses. That is what they deem worthy of donor money.

Yet despite all the evidence of corruption and possible criminality, the DOJ can find absolutely nothing of interest to investigate regarding BLM. It goes without saying, but if we were talking about a right-leaning organization, there’d have already been indictments.
