Yesterday, a 39-year-old professional felon and someone who wants to be a rapper (the descriptions often end side by side, which is great, isn’t it?) Darrell Brooks drove in Waukesha, Wisconsin His car participated in the Christmas parade.His atrocities caused 5 deaths and 48 injuries (see break in.Christmas parade of car rams in Waukesha, Wisconsin, causing mass casualties).
I don’t know what motivated Mr. Brooks to do this, but the usual suspects quickly got it out of the box, denying any meaningful motives.
Be sure to read our other reports on Waukesha’s tragedy:

Earlier today, CNN’s SE Cupp played an octopus trying to hide behind Mo Yun
Suddenly: CNN reported that Waukesha drivers who participated in the parade were fleeing another crime scene, not an act of terrorism or revenge.

This is one of the statements that may be correct, but it also doesn’t matter. I’m sure Brooks had eaten at least one meal and went to the bathroom at least once before killing 5 people, but these incidents have nothing to do with the facts. Cooper tried to give the impression that Brooks’ escape was the direct cause of the massacre. In fact, she went far beyond CNN’s actual statement, which included the phrase “indicated” to make it clear that he was fleeing another crime. The claim that he was fleeing from another crime does not explain how he ended up participating in the march or that he chose to start killing. Brooks was not chased by any other vehicles. The video of the massacre gave the impression that he was trying to maximize the number of corpses, rather than fleeing around pedestrians. Brooks had enough opportunity to leave the parade route by the side of the alley, and then hit another parade. We have a video about Brooks knocking down a crowd control obstacle and speeding.
The Waukesha police issued a statement confirming that no one was hunting Brooks.
What we know so far shows that Brooks entered the parade route while driving at high speed. At some point, he decided to farm through a marching unit. Then he broke through the crowd control barrier and a policeman fired several shots at his car. His social media accounts indicate that he claims to be a supporter of BlackLivesMatter and that he does not like white people. As for how true or false the social media characters are, your guess is as good as mine. We can also finally rule out the stupid story that Kupp criticized, that he is fleeing from some other criminal activities, and that the flying mentioned has anything to do with his killing in the parade.
It is too early to start throwing “t-word”, which means terrorism. But everything we know shows that Brooks intends to kill in that parade. The question is, why?
