Darrel Brooks posted rap videos on his YouTube channel ( now deleted).
One of his songs includes the lyrics: "They gonna need a cleaner for the shit we did, all my killers Gacey where them bodies hid."
Another song from his SoundCloud page says: "Sliding through the city with no safety on."
Other lyrics include "fuck Donald Trump" and "fuck the pigs."
But, the motive for his actions is a complete mystery according to the media.

Just to be clear, Attorney General Merrick Garland, the DOJ, and FBI are investigating parents who speak up at school board meetings as “ domestic terrorists” but the felon who ran over 45 children and grandmothers has already been cleared of being a domestic terrorist.

CNN has joined ABC in spinning that Brooks was fleeing another crime scene. It’s totally not terrorism or intentional. Brooks just took a wrong turn while defending himself. We could all make the same mistake.

Not his first time running over someone.
Darrell Brooks Jr., the man suspected of being the driver, has been charged three times in less than two years with recklessly endangering the safety of others, most recently on Nov. 5 as part of a domestic abuse incident for which he was also charged with resisting or obstructing an officer. In the case this month, a woman told police Brooks purposefully ran her “over with his vehicle” while she was walking through a gas station parking lot after he had followed her there after a fight, according to the criminal complaint. The woman was hospitalized for her injuries, court records show.
Brooks posted $1,000 bond on Nov. 11 in the most recent incident and was released from Milwaukee County Jail on Nov. 16, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office. He also was charged in July 2020 with two felony counts of second-degree recklessly endangering the safety of others using a dangerous weapon.

Prediction: Now that the DOJ is involved in the investigation, the messaging from local officials and the media will be that the suspect was not acting intentionally. He was simply fleeing some incident where he feared for his life.ABC is already running with this spin based on unnamed sources. Soon, Ministers will be brought forward to demand healing. Anyone who questions this spin will be labeled a racist.

Your experience with Mika matches mine. She delivers on the floor and VIP, followed by an outrageous demand for payment. I usually turn her down for dances for that reason.

Court records indicate a man named Darrell Edward Brooks was arrested on 11/2 and posted bond on 11/19, just two days ago.
Now the big question is… who paid his bond two days ago, the same exact day Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty in Wisconsin?

An Illinois Democrat has been blasted for describing the deadly Christmas parade rampage in Wisconsin as “karma” for the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.
Mary Lemanski, who is listed as the social media director for the Democratic Party in DuPage County, began her heartless online tirade by snarkily dismissing the tragedy as “just self-defense.”

The DOJ has something called the Community Relations Service. CRS is the only federal agency dedicated to working with community groups to resolve community conflicts and prevent and respond to alleged hate crimes arising from differences of race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disability
The CRS is already involved in Waukesha and controlling what local authorities can, and can’t, say about the suspect. The fix is in.

The left has been pushing “ bail reform” in recent years. You see, bail is racist. People should be released from jail if they promise to behave.
The $1,000 bail that allowed this violent felon to be on the streets should be put under the microscope.

Here is a CNN headline from yesterday, shortly before the horror in Waukesha.
“There's nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man”

There’s a clever use of words the media uses when someone on the left does something wrong involving a vehicle. Here is CNN’s first sentence:
“Five people were killed and more than 40 were injured when a vehicle drove into a Christmas parade Sunday afternoon in Waukesha, Wisconsin, city officials said.”
Somehow this vehicle drove into the crowd. A more accurate description would be that a man drove into the crowd. Nope. It was just some vehicle doing the bad thing.
CNN does not want to describe the person involved in any crime unless they are somehow a “ white supremacist”. If it isn’t, it’s much safer to blame it on the vehicle, not the person driving it.

The WaPo article says “ one person is in custody but police did not comment on a possible motive”. Trust me, they will never report that a BLM supporter was getting revenge for Kyle Rittenhouse.

The Jacob Blake media coverage lasted a year and whipped people into a riot. Trust me, the coverage of the Waukesha terrorism will be short lived.

Consider this. The “protests” in Kenosha started when police shot ( but didn’t kill) an armed felon who was resisting arrest.
Now, over 20 people have been killed or seriously injured by a felon who was released on just $1,000 bail. Does that warrant any reaction by the public or media scrutiny ?

Here’s the suspect. A long, long criminal history of violence. In spite of that, released from jail two days ago on just $1,000 bail. WTF ?

Police have the suspect in custody. If there was ever a situation where a police shooting would have been justified, this is it. Mowing down innocent children and the elderly.
Watch how fast the media buries this story.

Waukesha voted heavily for Trump in 2020. Witnesses identified the driver as a black man with dreadlocks.

You may need a refresher course on how private enterprise works. Yes, a company establishes rules for doing business but they can’t keep you from doing business with another business with different rules. Government makes rules that force compliance without the option of going somewhere else.

For a few short hours today, during Joe’s colonoscopy, Kamala Harris was in control of the federal government. The only accomplishment of the Harris administration was the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Private companies, like individuals can do whatever they want. If they choose poorly, they might go out of business. But, unlike governments, they can’t force people to comply.

Ketchup. Vaccines. Masks.
The common theme is expressed by asking the question “ What is the proper role of government ?”
1. Is it to micro manage every aspect of our lives to force people to live in a manner approved by government bureaucrats ?
2. Or, is it organize a society where people have the freedom to make their own choices ?
And, it’s worth pointing out that every dictator, tyrant, and fascist in world history believes number 1 is the correct answer.

People don’t choose to be homeless because of high rents. Drugs. Mental health. Those are the root causes for the vast majority on the streets.
There are already safety nets for people who are struggling financially but have a sober and sound mind. Section 8 housing. Medicaid. Food stamps. Shelters. You can argue whether that’s enough, but there are programs to keep them off the streets.
There used to be enough mental health facilities to treat and house those unable to fend for themselves. There is a role for government at alll levels in funding those facilities adequately.
