Black Lives Matter supporter arrested for killing five people in Waukesha attack
Criminal Darrell Brooks had recently been bailed out of jail.
A Black Lives Matter supporter has been arrested on allegations he killed five people and injured at least 40 other people during a violent attack during a Christmas parade in Wisconsin.
“Authorities in Waukesha, Wis., announced Monday that 39-year-old Darrell Brooks Jr. has been charged with five counts of homicide after he allegedly drove his car into a Christmas parade over the weekend, killing five people and injuring at least 40 others,” National Public Radio reported Monday.
NPR reported further:
Brooks has a criminal history in Wisconsin. In 2020, he was charged with recklessly endangering safety and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to documents from the Milwaukee District Attorney's office provided to NPR.
The documents also show that Brooks previously used his vehicle to cause harm. Earlier this month, he confronted a woman outside a motel. He knocked her phone out of her hand and drove off. He then returned, punch her in the face and and ran her over with his vehicle. The report notes that the woman had tire marks on her pants in addition to other injuries from the incident.
Brooks had recently been let out of jail on only $1,000 bail. Leftist activists want to reduce, if not eliminate bail, for accused criminals.
“The suspect in a Christmas parade crash in suburban Milwaukee that killed five people was free on $1,000 bail posted just two days before the deadly event, a fact that is leading to a review of what happened and renewed calls for giving judges more power to set higher bails,” a CBS affiliate reported.
Should the judge who granted bail immediately resign? Should Brooks be executed if he is found guilty? Let us know below!
