I'm going to start creating new threads for everything instead of just having three threads with every single discussion topic going.

Completely messed up.  Sounds like another mentally ill criminal.

"The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel newspaper reported Mr Brooks is currently facing at least five criminal charges - including for domestic abuse and battery - and had been released from jail on bond just two days earlier.

...that the suspect is believed to have been fleeing another scene - possibly a knife fight - when he ran into people at the parade."

Not surprised to see the media burying this story already.

It's been said before - we need to ban automobiles.

The MSM kept stating no description of the suspect until forced to do so even though the information was out there.  Only one reason to do that, fan the flames, a bunch of sociopaths.  

Suspect isn’t a white male so the story isn’t that big

I heard the vehicle was fully automatic.

Going straight to hell for that joke.  But I've actually seen a few people say "maybe it was self-defense....people fear for the lives with all the vigilantism in Wisconsin".

Yikes.  Social media director.

Fully automatic is great lol. Well done.

The buildings with the giant cement stumps in front to keep this from happening, unfortunately, need to be everywhere. If you are a major city, with parade/celebration/important people caravans/etc you should have the type that can retract at all the intersections that can access said route.

We have an under incarceration problem. Was out on $1,000 bail for “ This past Friday, he posted a cash bond in connection with charges including resisting or obstructing an officer, bail jumping, recklessly endangering safety with domestic-abuse assessments, disorderly conduct with a domestic-abuse assessment, and battery.”

That should put a fork in the "free bail for everyone" or whatever the Dems were floating a while back.

While it sounds like the bail should have been much higher, and perhaps even denied, I don't think that's the issue here.  I hope the Right doesn't turn this into the poster child for "under incarceration".  I'm sure they will, but that's bullshit.

Saw a blurb that his social media is full of racist rants. 

He had just tried to run over his ex wife awhile back

Lol read the room

Today, we sent a letter w/ @RepMaloney & @RepRaskin to NYC's 5 District Attorneys requesting information on excessive bail in the NYC court system. When prosecutors seek excessive cash bail, it results in increased rates of incarceration — particularly for low-income defendants. pic.twitter.com/x9cTOx3zo8

Yes, he was a white hating, BLM supporting, life long criminal. It’s unfortunate he was taken in peacefully.

Yeah, this is definitely getting the same attention and coverage as Rittenhouse, Charlottesville, Jan 6, parkland, dayton shooting, etc.  You’re right.

This was obvious to everyone as soon as him and his Facebook posts were identified. Ptown, smh (lol “moderate”).

Whatever pushes the agenda.

I saw a poster on another board who's been crying about the defense lawyers in the Arbery trial. Crying about 11 white jurors.  It's virtually an open and shut case, but he seems to be secretly hoping for an acquittal...such is the state of "outrage culture" today.

Lol, and the defense lawyers are, if anything, helping it be an open and shut case by being as inept as the prosecution for Rittenhouse. The one dude is pure comic relief, calling for a mistrial over every single thing that pops into his head. Nothing says, "My client is guilty as fuck!" quite like begging a judge to throw out the case for frivolous reasons on a near-daily basis.

I love when lawyers do that. AS if they don't know that a judge will do everything humanly possible to reach a verdict and close the case vs having a mistrail declared. 

Lol, totally being covered the same. 

Here's what we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy caused by a SUV. https://t.co/FWwYFEjits

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) November 25, 2021

Its gonna come out that this was a complete fabrication on the events prior to the guy running people over.  The media is covering a "fight" so it deflects from the "this was a terror attack"

Yup, definitely the same. Good call ptown.

Waukesha will hold a moment of silence today, marking one week since a car drove through a city Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others.https://t.co/QMNccpBI0y
