In an incredibly odd occurrence, Darrell Brooks, who is accused of intentionally ramming his SUV into a parade — killing at least six, and injuring dozens of others — gave an interview today. For the last 10 days since his arrest, we’ve heard nothing from Brooks and essentially nothing from law enforcement on why he did what he did.
Now, he’s complaining about being “demonized” and that his mother has not visited him. Fox News is the only one to know.
Darrell Brooks Jr. spent 10 days in Wisconsin prison after being accused of driving through barricades into Waukesha revelers during the Waukesha Christmas Parade. He allegedly killed six and injured 62 people.
Now he feels “dehumanized,” he told Fox News Digital Wednesday in his first remarks to the media, seemingly surprised that he had visitors.
“I just feel like I’m being monster – demonized,” Brooks, 39, said during a brief video visit in Waukesha County Jail – a stone’s throw from where tragedy struck over a week earlier.
I don’t know what to make of this. Brooks should not have been allowed to visit the site. Even less are the two Fox News reporters. Brooks should not be concerned about the opinions of others. He’s got far worse problems, namely the six murder charges he faces for the horrific act he committed. His remorse is not mentioned in the article.
Brooks did not give any clues to reporters as to his motivations. This may be a clue. If this wasn’t an intentional act (prosecutors have already said it was), you would think he’d be proclaiming his innocence. That he didn’t when asked speaks volumes. As has been stated, it was not accidental.
Then, what’s the motivation? Until I’m introduced to an alternate theory that makes some semblance of sense, I continue to think you can’t just ignore his radical, racist statements on social media. No one runs into a parade of elderly women and children without a reason, and Brooks had one, even if he’s not saying what it is yet.
Fox News’s rest of the write-up did not provide much detail. After Brooks became emotional and began to cry, the interview was cut short. He was then taken back into his cell. Brooks had previously mentioned that his mother hadn’t visited him before and that they had been close before his criminal record, which includes beating children and child sex offenses. Fox News also described Brooks’ soft spoken and coherence during their interview.
This whole thing is bizarre to me. They must have gotten him to talk to them. Is he not yet revealing a motive for the crime? What is the point of law enforcement not providing detailed updates following such an awful crime? Something doesn’t feel right here. We hope to get more information quickly, as all of this confusion isn’t helping anybody, not even the loved ones.
