Imagine that he came so close to assassinating the candidate that a bullet grazed the man\u2019s sweater. And now imagine that the shooter\u2019s bail was set at only $100,000, and a group of white supremacists raised his bail and put him back on the street within a couple of days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would that be national news? Would you be able to turn on CNN or MSNBC at any hour of the day without hearing about it? Would it be presented as further evidence of what\u2019s really wrong with America?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, forget all that, because when this exact scenario played out in Louisville, KY this week, the shooter was fighting for a cause that\u2019s favored by our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters in the press.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, a young man named Quintez Brown tried to murder Craig Greenberg, who\u2019s running for mayor of Louisville. Yet Brown is already out on bail, which was raised by\u2026 Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"tweet\" style=\"background: #ffffff; display: block; max-width: 520px; margin: 1em auto;
