Was this initially a police chase? That's what I want to know.

not sure, because it said the police had just arrived at his home after a domestic dispute, as he was ploughing into the crowd...

On Sunday, he was fleeing the scene of a domestic dispute when he crashed into the crowds after smashing through safety barriers and breezing past cops. One officer tried to stop him by shooting at his car but he stopped because there were too many people around for him to safely fire his weapon.

Police had just arrived at the home that Brooks had fled when he plowed into the parade crowds, killing five adults. The victims have been identified as Dancing Grannies Virginia Sorenson, 79, Leanna Owens, 71 and Tamara Durand, 52, Citizen Bank employee Jane Kulich, 52, and 82-year-old Wilhelm Hospel, the husband of one of the grannies. The Waukesha Police Department have now arrested Brooks on five murder charges.

On Monday morning, the Milwaukee County DA's Office released a statement admitting it was 'inappropriately low' given his criminal history. They said they'd launched an internal review as to why he was able to get out on bond to commit more crimes.

Catch and release is the deliberate trend throughout US cities. This department is only going through the farce of an internal investigation because it backfired on them --imagine that :rolleyes: -- and they know they'll be sued. Hopefully someone up the line in that particular judicial system does actually care about the innocent and the local officials responsible will pay the price for their willful stupidity.

So many domestic problems lead to violence but this one was unforgiveable. He took his anger out on innocents.

Being a lifelong felon doesn't necessarily mean you dream of driving over people. Lifelong criminals, who have killed multiple victims, don't drive down spectators at a parade. Usually the men, who do these mass killings wind up shot by the cops, or are suicides. Brooks just walked away. mellowyellow, I believe you have determined Brooks' motivation for his horrible acts.
 
IMHO a vile murderer of even one innocent mother, father, son, daughter or other loving family members should be punished not in light of his or hers mindset at the time, pristine or sociopathic past but on this single murderous act itself. Can't kill a murderer twice but the individual should be sentenced to death as he or she sentenced innocent people to death without so much as the benefit of a trial he or she will most assuredly receive and possibly get found not guilty by: Fill in the blank____________________________________

Shame

From 2011: :mad: https://www.commondreams.org/views/2011/07/18/alec-profit-criminal-justice-and-wisconsin


"...according to Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisolm, Wisconsin counties like Milwaukee have been working with the Vera Institute for years to "get money out of the bail process altogether," using evidence-based practices "to determine who should not be released and who can be released under supervision," with necessary intervention to protect public safety."​
​
​

And now Chisolm is doing an internal audit to determine why the bail was inappropriately low. :rolleyes: ....and the 'evidence-based practices' he's been working on for over 10 years didn't pick up on the fact that Brooks was a threat to public safety.

I have heard these kinds of stories before: man commits crime, slap on the wrist, out of jail if he ever was in. Then he repeats this same sequence of events over and over and over. I have no proof but I think that the legal system is just drumming up business for itself. I remember spending my winters down in Texas and there were constant signs on the highways and on TV telling people if they were injured, they should sue. Repeat criminals just keep repeating and repeating. Hey, how many of you remember about 2 months ago there were all those silly (I say stupid) comments about getting rid of the police. Big cities are bad enough to live in so getting rid of the police is a wonderful idea? Who writes crap like this? Do they know what they are talking about?
 
OK when I hear he was found guilty and arrested of battery and strangulating I just, well idk, he would not be a good guy to have been prowling freely out on the streets any more. Truly a shame he was bailed at all. How terrible for all of these families of theinjured and deceased. May the ones passed go to be with their God in Bliss and Love. Strength for those left to grieve this heavy loss.

Street and so called 'Party' drugs should and could be completely cleaned up if everbody just tried to end them.
 
Decades ago, i read a small passage in a book about the execution of criminals.
Once the criminal was found guilty he was taken to the gallows.
The gallows was a high structure, the rope around his neck was thirty-fifty yards long:
The townspeople, grasped the rope and hoisted the criminal.
Each resident of the village bore responsibility for the execution of the criminal.

The passage, may have been a folktale-however, it would be a method for a society to rid itself of criminals.
We cry out for justice, Are You Willing To Perform An Act that Takes The Life of Another?


* I read this passage 40 years ago, the event is suppose to have occurred in Scotland (I think)
That the execution of criminals was a community event in our past cannot be disputed.
Guy Falks, The Terror in France, Witch Trials in America-were a savage bunch, once the genie is released
there is no putting him back in the bottle.
So, What'cha Gonna Do?

I don't think I would have a problem hoisting the man in Wisconsin up, up, up and away.

Maybe this Chisolm guy should have watched his amateur rap video, that's contained midway down in the link shown in Post#13. Pretty vile stuff. Shows no respect for anyone, particularly women :mad:

Germany, France, Wisconsin ......... I'm an ex-Christian so I don't follow Jesus, but holy christ! Can't people hold their traditions without looking over their shoulders in fear?
 
People need to stop, think when they vote for judges in the criminal justice system in their local areas. When you see an incumbent up for reelection, give 'em the boot. Changes need to be made.

We had a good police chief quit the Houston Police Dept. after 6 six years of watching the revolving door at the city jail.
He said he was totally discussed with the dangerous work put into getting these people off the street, to only turn around and see them out there again!
Bad guys aren't going to quit doing their evil stuff when they only get a slap on the wrist.

Here, in Europe, we need to tar-and-feather our immigration ministers.

I see you left out the part where I said, "I don't think it has much to do with who is in the White House." My point was that he committed crimes during several different presidential terms so you couldn't fairly blame any particular one of them. I didn't think that was "talking politics" so much as saying politics didn't apply in this issue.

Don't be so quick to blame the judges. Many times bad outcomes are the result of the way laws are written by the legislature. The judge has to follow the law as it is written.

For instance, the brilliant legislators here at one point decided to revise the laws regarding bail, because bad guys were whining that bail inflicted a hardship or some such. So, being duty bound to rule as the law required (the new law gave the judges little if any leeway as to bail) judges were turning people loose right and left. A good number of the offenders reoffended, some quite spectacularly, while out on bail; there was an immediate reaction of the public against the judges for releasing the offenders. It was pointed out loud and clear to the public that the judges were just following the new law as written by the legislators, at which point the legislature got the message and re-revised the bail laws once again.

That revolving door isn't always the judges' fault. Sometimes it is, but not always.
 
I hope the man responsible gets punished to the fullest extent of the law. In my circles we used to have a saying..."He should be put under the jail".:mad: Then he had the nerve to cry in court. SMDH! The family who's door he knocked on afterward, claiming he needed someone to check on the status of his Uber ride, must've been freaked out when they found out who he was. I don't know what this world is coming to. My heart and prayers go out to the victim's families and to those who were injured. :cry:
