Darrell Brooks Murdered Six People, Including a Child

"The vehicle appeared to be intentionally moving side to side"

I’m putting that in a headline because somebody needs to.

Breaking: The booking photo of #Waukesha, Wis. parade massacre suspect Darrell Edward Brooks has been released to the public. He's wearing a suicide prevention smock.

The death toll of mass murderer Darrell Brooks has now gone up by one. His latest victim was an eight-year-old child.

8-year-old boy dies after being struck in Waukesha Christmas Parade

wisn.com8-year-old boy dies after being struck in Waukesha Christmas ParadeAn 8-year-old boy died Tuesday from his injuries after he was struck Sunday in the Waukesha Christmas Parade.

That little boy’s name was Jackson Sparks. He was marching in the Waukesha, WI Christmas parade with his baseball team when Darrell Brooks murdered him.

I don’t find that “heartbreaking.” It’s not a “tragedy.” It’s enraging. It’s an act of evil. It’s an atrocity.

What did Jackson Sparks ever do to anybody? He was just a little kid, marching in a parade with his friends. He wasn’t hurting anyone. He wasn’t threatening anyone. Then a monster murdered him.

I’ve listened for months as lunatics like Joy Reid screamed that Kyle Rittenhouse was a “white supremacist” for shooting three white men who were attacking him. And now: crickets. A BLM supporter just mowed down a bunch of white people at a parade and killed six, including a little boy, and our moral, ethical, and intellectual betters are doing everything they can to minimize it.

They can’t pretend it didn’t happen, so they’re dancing around the facts. It was a “parade crash”:

CNN Breaking News @cnnbrk

The suspect in the deadly Waukesha parade crash has been charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide

cnn.itA sixth victim has died after the Waukesha Christmas parade crash, prosecutors sayJackson Sparks, 8 and his brother Tucker Sparks, 12. Jackson died Tuesday, according to his family’s verified GoFundMe page. Tucker is expected to be discharged from the hospital Tuesday, where he had been in the ICU, the page said.

Or a “deadly Christmas parade”:

"Deadly Christmas parade"? What, they all marched off a cliff? No, Darrell Brooks plowed into them with his SUV. It was a mass murder.

Or even an “accident”:

The Post Millennial @TPostMillennial

MSNBC calls the Waukesha massacre an “accident”

Calling this a “parade crash” is like calling 9/11 a “plane crash.” No. It was not an accident or a mishap or an act of God. The man deliberately drove through a crowd of people.

At least NPR(!) is calling it what it is:

Here's what we know about the victims of the Waukesha Christmas parade attack.

n.prWhat we know about the victims of the Waukesha Christmas Parade incidentAt least six people died and 62 others were injured, according to authorities in Waukesha, Wis. Officials have also identified one suspect.

They call it both an “incident” and an “attack,” but I’m feeling generous so I’ll accept the latter. We’re at the point where a national news organization manages to get a basic fact right and it feels like a triumph. That’s how far the media has fallen.

Their cautiousness in these matters is entirely dependent on the identity of the accused:

Defiant L’s @DefiantLs

“It’s different when my team does it.” That’s all this is.

Stephen “Not the Trump Guy” Miller makes another good point:

Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze

I haven't looked yet but maybe I should but I'm willing to bet the majority of our national media did not call the Charlottesville car attack a crosswalk crash.

Can you imagine the uproar if the murder of Heather Heyer had been described as a “crash”? Brian Stelter’s head would explode like somebody put it in the microwave without poking holes in it with a fork.

Was this Christmas parade mass murder an act of terrorism? Darrell Brooks was a BLM supporter and openly hated white people. That’s just a fact, whether you like it or not. Was that his motive?
