Waukesha Police Chief Knocks Down Silly “Fleeing From a Crime” Cover Story Pushed by CNN – Opinion

Yesterday, 39-year-old career felon and wannabe rapper (remarkable how often those descriptions end up side-by-side, isn’t it?) Darrell Brooks drove through Waukesha’s Christmas parade. Five people were killed and 48 others injured in the rampage (see BREAKING). Vehicle Rams Christmas Parade in Waukesha WI, Creating a Mass Casualty event

While I do not know the motivation for Brooks’ actions, it is obvious that the suspects were quick to dismiss any meaningful explanation.

Earlier today, CNN’s S. E. Cupp took on the role of an octopus attempting to flee behind a cloud of ink

BREAKING: CNN reports that a Waukesha driver crashed into a parade. He was not fleeing terrorism or reprisal.

Although it may seem true, this is not a statement that is necessarily false. I’m sure that Brooks had at least one meal and visited the bathroom at least once before he killed 5 people, but none of those events have any bearing on the facts. Cupp is trying to give the impression that Brooks’ flight was the proximate cause of the carnage. In fact, she goes way beyond CNN’s actual announcement that included the phrase “there are indications” to definitively state that he was fleeing another crime. He didn’t flee another crime, but that doesn’t help explain his actions in the parade. Brooks did not get pursued in any other vehicle. You get the feeling that Brooks was trying to increase the bodies, and not dodge pedestrians. Brooks had plenty of time to walk along side streets and avoid the march route before he drove into one of the marching units. Brooks can be seen speeding past crowd control barriers as we have video.

Brooks has been confirmed safe and sound by Waukesha police.

According to what we have so far, Brooks was driving fast and entering the parade route. Brooks decided at one point to speed through the march unit. After breaking through the crowd control barrier, a police officer opened fire on his vehicle. According to his social media accounts, he is a BlackLivesMatter fan and has an aversion to white people. You can guess how real or fake that persona on social media is. Cupp’s stupid claim that Cupp was fleeing from some crime can be ruled out. Cupp also denied that Cupp had any connection to his killings in a parade.

It is way, way too early to start tossing the “t-word,” that is, terrorism about. All evidence suggests Brooks was planning to execute the parade. We are now asking the question: Why?
