Prosecutors in Waukesha County have added 71 new counts to the criminal complaint against black supremacist Darrell E. Brooks, Jr., who is charged in the murder of six people during Waukesha’s annual Christmas parade.
Police allege Brooks purposely rammed into the parade, and authorities originally charged him with just six counts, all for first-degree intentional homicide.
A career criminal, Brooks is a domestic abuser with a history of trying to mow down people in his car.
Yuletide Terror
On November 21, he did more than try. He purposely drove his red Ford Escape into the parade, prosecutors allege, and killed six parade-goers and injured another 61.
The criminal complaint recounts the testimony of officers who tried to stop the massacre.
A cop at the scene said that Brooks was “intentionally moving side to side, striking multiple people, and bodies and objects were flying from the area of the vehicle,” as the complaint described it.
A witness described the same thing:
As I continued to watch the SUV, it continued to drive in a zigzag motion. It was like the SUV was trying to avoid vehicles, not people. There was no attempt made by the vehicle to stop, much less slow down.
Among the dead were four women, an elderly man, and a little boy. All the victims were white.
Brooks’ social media show a history of anti-white hate, including a post that gave directions on how to run people down in a car. Brooks was also linked to a radical Islamic group.
His criminal record bespeaks the mind of a homicidal maniac who could explode in a frenzy of murder at any moment. Authorities in Nevada convicted him of threatening to bomb a casino. Just weeks before he drove into the parade, he ran over his girlfriend at a filling station. In 2011, he tried to run over a cop. He is also a convicted strangler.
New Charges
After cops arrested Brooks in the racially-motivated parade massacre, they charged him with the six murders alone. Now he faces charges in connection with those he injured:
- 61 counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety;
- Six counts: hit and run, resulting in death;
- Two counts: felony bail jumping; and
- Two counts: misdemeanor battery.

Given Brooks’s social media history and his criminal career, the charges against him aren’t surprising. The surprise was that Brooks was out on bail.
Those charges invited a mere $1,000 bond.
That bail “was inappropriately low in light of the nature of the recent charges and the pending charges against Mr. Brooks,” Chisholm said, because it was “not consistent” with his approach toward “violent crime.”
In 2018, Chisholm bragged about permitting violent criminals to roam the streets. They need “alternative sentences.”
Milwaukeeans, it appears, need an alternative district attorney.
