An ex-con who callously opened fire on a Brooklyn street in 2014, shooting three bystanders and only stopping when he was run down with a car by a relative of one of his victims, asked a judge for a computer Tuesday, claiming he needs one to better defend himself in court.

Cush Wright-El, who dumped his court appointed attorney to represent himself, says he can’t review DVD footage of his shooting spree because his Rikers cell didn’t come equipped with a laptop.

“It is very difficult for me to check out these DVDs I have, because I don’t have a computer,” the 25 year old whined to Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Suzanne Mondo.

“Is there anyway you can send something to Rikers?” Wright-El pleaded.

“Are there not computers at Rikers?” Judge Mondo asked incredulously.

“Not that I can use,” he said.

“Didn’t you already go over this footage with your attorney?” she responded.

“I would like to go over them myself,” he shot back.

After a brief pause, Mondo replied flatly, “I have no computer to give you.”

The alleged gunman chuckled creepily in response, before he was cuffed and led out of court.

Wright-El — who had been arrested twice for attempted murder in Baltimore— fired six times on quiet Bed-Stuy street in October 2014, hitting a 57-year-old man and his 16-year-old nephew as the two played chess together.

He then ran down the street, firing three more times and hitting a 61-year-old woman. All the victims survived.

The con faces up to 75 years in prison if convicted on all three felony counts of attempted murder.
