Waukesha Suspect's Previous Release Agitates Efforts to Reduce Bail

Yahoo

"In early November, prosecutors in the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office made a fast, fateful decision, asking that bond for a 39-year-old repeat offender accused of brutalizing his girlfriend, then running over her with an SUV, be set at only $1,000.

"That call, one of many made in the city’s bustling criminal court that day, initiated a succession of events that ended, according to police, with that man, Darrell E. Brooks Jr., ramming his maroon Ford Escape through the barricades of a Christmas parade in nearby Waukesha, killing six people and injuring dozens more.

"The bail decision has brought criticism raining down on Milwaukee County’s district attorney, John T. Chisholm, a Democrat who has tried to reduce high rates of incarceration and racial disparities in the justice system. Longtime critics, led by Wisconsin’s previous governor, Scott Walker, blamed Brooks’ release on Chisholm’s “radical” liberal ideology.

"It appears, though, that the controversial release may have been not a policy decision but the result of happenstance and other factors — an inexperienced junior prosecutor and a rushed supervisor up against a huge backlog of cases that piled up during the coronavirus pandemic, according to court documents and interviews with judges, prosecutors, local officials and defense lawyers.". . .

Suspect Charged In Waukesha Tragedy Called For Violence Against White People

In a Facebook post in June 2020, shortly after the death of George Floyd, 39-year-old Darrell Brooks Jr. said that black people should knock “white ppl [the f-ck] out.”

When Black Lives Matter supporters made news in Wisconsin, they all boasted rap sheets. 

. . ."Joseph Rosenbaum? Child rapist. Jump Kick Man? Holder of a War and Peace criminal record. Anthony Huber? Domestic abuser. Does it not tell us something that all of the identifiable anti-police protestors encountering Kyle Rittenhouse in a violent way on August 25, 2020, boasted extensive criminal charges?"It turns out that many of the “protestors” condemning the police with the volume turned up loudest do so because the police thwarted their criminal behavior. A “duh” quality colors this revelation. Criminals hate cops. You don’t say?". . .
