Yesterday, someone entered the campaign offices of Louisville, Kentucky, mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg and took several shots at him. The would-be assassin missed, though he came close enough that a bullet grazed the candidates sweater. Greenberg is a Democrat and Louisville is not a small town, so this *should* be Big News. Details are here:

Quintez Brown: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Now, here is why this might end up *not* being Big News:

His Twitter profile, @tez4liberation, says, “We have one scientific and correct solution, Pan-Africanism: the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism ❤️🖤💚.”

Ruh-roh, Raggy…

Amazingly, his Twitter stuff is still available.

Brown is a student at the University of Louisville and is set to graduate in 2022, according to his LinkedIn profile. He graduated from Louisville’s DuPont Manual High School. According to WPFL, he is a, “U of L Woodford R. Porter scholar ━ a designation for Black students who achieve academic excellence and show a commitment to strengthening and serving their communities.”

Whoopsie. Maybe they can get their money back.

Brown said, “As dialectical materialists, we do not believe that life will somehow change in the future, but rather we objectively understand that life is always in a constant state of change, transformation, and flux. Accepting this premise, we move in the present moment to rid ourselves of outdated programs and modalities that lead to our self-destruction and begin to help the masses define their needs, realize their strength, and go into action along a variety of lines which they must choose for themselves.”

He concluded, “My call to action is simple. Voting and petitioning will not be sufficient for our liberation, but in the current moment it will be strategically used to reach the masses. I do not want to speak of a long road ahead of us because no such road exists. We are already here and it begins with you. Secure your number amongst the billion and commit yourself to win a new world side by side with a united left front. ‘From all according to ability.’ Radicalize your natural environment, organize the people around you, and watch our numbers grow.”

Doesn’t exactly sound like one of them skerry Right Wingers, does he. But he does remind me of this:

But by all means, let’s have more Congressional hyperventilating over Little People milling about the Capitol or parents PO’ed about children being terrorized over a pandemic, force fed lunatic political ideologies, plied with perverts and perversion.
