There was an alleged mass murder attack on the Waukesha Christmas parade just a few days ago and yet we’re already seeing a strange description of the event, that is from media still covering it — media calling it a “crash” or an “accident.”

Now, this is not only bad journalism by the media, it’s diminishing a massacre. The police confirmed what they said. We reported it. Even if the media can’t be bothered to follow the detailed facts like actual journalists; again, they should know the basic fact that it was intentional. Yet, they’re phrasing it this way which can only be termed as downplaying it — and that’s just despicable.
What are the facts? It wasn’t just that it was intentional. Darrell Brooks allegedly drove in a pattern of zigzags to reach as many people possible, according to a new complaint.
“However, the vehicle then appeared to rapidly accelerate, as Officer Butryn heard tires squeal. The vehicle took an abrupt left turn into the crowd of parade participants,” it continued.
“At this point, it was clear to Officer Butryn that this was an intentional act to strike and hurt as many people as possible. Officer Butryn continued to run westbound on East Main Street, trailing the vehicle and its path,” the complaint said. “He observed the vehicle appeared to be intentionally moving side to side, striking multiple people, and bodies and objects were flying from the area of the vehicle.”
By the time the officer got near a Subway restaurant in the area, he “began to encounter multiple casualties” and “multiple people were pulling at him, saying that they needed assistance with injured parties,” it added.
A detective was also named in the complaint as having claimed to have spoken with several witnesses on the spot.
“One witness indicated, ‘As I continued to watch the SUV, it continued to drive in a zig-zag motion. It seemed like the SUV tried to avoid cars, but not people. There was no attempt made by the vehicle to stop, much less slow down,” the complaint said.
“Detective Trussoni spoke with another witness who described the same zig zag driving pattern by the SUV and the witness further indicated, he felt it was ‘a direct intent to hit as many parade participants,’” the complaint added.

Waukesha Court Commissioner Kevin Costello set the bail at $5 million because of the “shocking” nature of the offense. They didn’t want to have him jumping bail again, so they wanted to basically make it impossible for him to get out.

These thoughts came a bit late. People were righteously angry that he’d been let out after a prior criminal action at the beginning of the month on $1,000 bond.
It wasn’t just that he because he had a long criminal history, but that last incident itself not only should have required a much higher bail but, indeed, much more severe charges. He shouldn’t have been out at all. Here’s how that incident is described in court records.
NY Post
According to the police report, Brooks is accused of punching her in the head after she refused the ride in the vehicle.
She told police that’s when Brooks allegedly “tried to kill her” as he ran her over and fled the scene.
The police report states that the victim was lying down on the ground, with tires marks all over her. According to police, she suffered from a fractured right leg and dislocated vertebrae.
Brooks allegedly threatened Brooks to kill her multiple times, according to the ex-girlfriend. However, she was never charged with it.
Brooks, she claimed, had tried to choke her before and that Brooks was controlling and jealous.
Brooks is alleged to have tried to drive her over using the same red Ford Escape. But instead of getting charged with attempted murder and being held as an obvious danger, he was charged with 2nd-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety and battery with “domestic abuse assessments.” He also had a resisting an officer charge in relation to that incident, as well as the bail jumping charge. He was released on a $1,000 bond.
Brooks was never allowed to be released, not just for the charge but also because of his lengthy criminal record, including several sexual offences. They need a real evaluation of what’s going on there, in terms of bail and charges, when this is allowed to happen.
