The editorial, headlined \u201cEscalating hateful rhetoric leads nation down a dark, chaotic path,\u201d said that the attempted shooting \u201crevealed the dangers of the talk coming from the right about civil war and political violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe alleged shooter, a 21-year-old political activist, was arrested near the scene and later charged with attempted murder along with four counts of wanton endangerment,\u201d the article read. \u201cWhile there\u2019s 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.\u201d The editorial pointed to a piece in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/02\/09\/us\/politics\/politician-death-threats.html?searchResultPosition=1\">The New York Times<\/a> that showed a growing trend of violent threats being made to members of Congress. The Times reviewed 75 indictments against individuals who made threats against lawmakers but noted that those indictments were not limited by simple partisanship. Threats were made by constituents across the political spectrum toward lawmakers of both parties.<\/p>\n<p>But the editorial was published Wednesday morning, hours after it had been revealed that the suspect in the attempted shooting, Quintez Brown, was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/racial-justice-socialist-activist-quintez-brown-accused-of-attempted-murder-shooting-at-louisville-mayoral-candidate\">left-wing activist<\/a>. RealClearPolitics Co-Founder and President Tom Bevan first pointed out the article on Twitter. \u201cHoly f***, @LasVegasSun,\u201d Bevan wrote. \u201cThis editorial was written after the alleged shooter, Quintez Brown, was identified as a left-wing BLM activist.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Holy f*ck, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LasVegasSun?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@LasVegasSun<\/a>.

He was also involved in the nationwide racial justice protests during the summer of 2020. As The Daily Wire also reported Tuesday, Brown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/alleged-louisville-shooter-recently-met-with-black-nationalist-group-praised-violent-radicals-on-social-media-report\">met last week<\/a> with a representative from \u201cLion of Judah,\u201d a black nationalist militia group that believes black people are the true \u201cchosen people\u201d of God, not the Jews, and has ties to the anti-semitic Black Hebrew Israelites. Brown appeared to encourage his Instagram followers to join the group.<\/p>\n<p>Brown also has a history of promoting radical black activists like Kwame Ture and Assata Shakur on Instagram and Twitter. The Daily Wire reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>In December, Brown announced his candidacy to represent District 5 on the Louisville Metro Council with a quote from Kwame Ture.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c\u2018Frederick Douglass said that the youth should fight to be leaders today, because the men who run this country are sick.\u2019 \u2013 Kwame Ture,\u201d Brown said via Twitter alongside a campaign video \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Brown\u2019s Instagram page is also littered with multiple posts to Ture, including one from 1977 promoting Pan-Africanism, the socialist movement promoted by Ture arguing that all descendants from African based nations should unite around their racial history.&nbsp; \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Just last week, Brown also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CZvHJrkpVwk\/?utmmedium=share%20sheet\">shared<\/a> a quote from Assata Shakur, a black nationalist and convicted murderer found guilty of killing State Trooper Werner Foerster during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1973.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In February, Brown also tweeted, \u201cLouisville\u2019s \u2018criminal justice system\u2019 is the only infrastructure that is constantly funded and reinforced by the bipartisan white power structure.
