    Literal shots were fired at Craig Greenberg, a candidate running under the Democrat party in Louisville. One of the bullets grazed the man's shirt so had the shooter had better aim, the man could have lost his life. I know nothing about Craig but I have a feeling people are getting fed up. The suspected shooter is Quintez Brown, a 21 year old activist who declared he would be running for Metro Council District 5 Seat back in December.

    I feel like people are waking up to the nonsense. Especially because a lot of headlines were saying he (Craig) was targeted for being Jewish. No charges have been placed that I know of yet, they just have QB in custody as a suspect.

    Such a strange story, I wonder what his motive was. After reading the article I was under the impression that maybe he was disillusioned. The fact that he was promoting pan-africanism as his platform in a political race leads me to believe he wasn’t “all the way there”. But at the same time, that’s not fair. Maybe the guy he was shooting at did him dirty which is easily possible. The only facts here are that everyone is safe and he can’t shoot.

    I heard about this story and couldn't believe it. I thought it was something that was staged. I did some digging and the man apparently has had issues with mental health in the past. I feel for him because he likely couldn't get proper help. A lot of black men who struggle are brushed off or ignored when they have mental health problems. He was very much an anti-gun advocate as well so him using a gun, just feels off. Maybe he has a bipolar illness? Not sure. I just hope if this is the case, he gets help and doesn't rot in a prison cell.

    We are taught to keep it all inside and deal with it like a man. Never to talk about anything dealing with our feelings, it would be at this time when we are at our lowest. This Bi-polar thing is deadly and not to be taken lightly. I have lost 1 childhood friend to it and his family has never been the same since that day over 35 years ago.
    It is easier to talk about it on social media because 9 times out of 10 you won't meet who is either hearing your audio rants or reading about it. Being an only child it gets worse then comes the cutting yourself. Because the physical pain takes away the mental pain but that is only temporary.
    I hope he gets REAL help and not just a GD BS prison sentence.

    A bit of an update, I guess BLM advocates posted the man's bail. I am not sure if this is 100% fact or not. Just something I heard earlier this morning. People are speculating it was not a political stunt but a racial one. Honestly, I'd believe it was both. People are getting fed up with the democrats lying and people just plain don't trust jews in America.

    They want to paint it as racial so that they can paint us as the racists. Do Black people really care about Jews like that to attack them? IDK.

    Whenever you deal with the Jews YOU lose.

    I still think the man was unwell in the head and the people in his life didn't do enough to help him. Not sure what will come of this but I hope he gets help. He seems to want to make changes but he is fighting a battle in his own mind and that caused him to act out of character. Clearly, if he is anti-gun, using a gun to shoot at someone is not in character for him.

    MY 2nd grade Jewish teacher held me black from going outside only to say "Your dark color resembled my morning shit". My Grandfather was going to the school that next morning but my grandmother stopped him from doing that. This was the typical actions my granny did. Go along to get along BS.

    So, it's fair to say I don't like them nor do I like what they are trying to label MY ppl.

    As far as I read, he was part of the Black Hebrew Israelites who believe firmly that they were the original owners and people of Isreal (and the land) so they will have a strong issue with "white" Jewish people who stole their land and their heritage. Not saying this is factual, just what I have read. I don't know much about this group either.

    I hope he gets the proper help also but with him being connected to that group they will label him a B.I.E. which is BS.
