Maybe we should wait until all the facts come out? But this goes well beyond "a terrible choice" or "a lifetime of terrible choices". This is pure evil.
Speaking of narrative, NBC is now calling this incident an accident. Here’s the description from their YouTube video:https://youtu.be/TjoI33r5IQ0“Video captured by a Ring camera appears to show Darrell Edward Brooks in front of a home before being arrested in connection to the Waukesha parade accident.”
More narrative spinning from Wikipedia. Redirecting to a page that calls it a “car crash”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2021_Waukesha_Christmas_parade_car_rampage&redirect=no
That's stupid.See how easy it is to shoot down a stupid narrative instead of just accepting it -- or even glorifying it (as in Tucker & Co. with KR-47) -- based on political leanings?
Agreed. Until then, calling it terrorism, with zero evidence to support that claim, and reporting narratives that disregard actual video evidence probably should be minimized.The man is clearly evil, and deserves to spend the rest of his life rotting in a jail cell. Can't believe no one posted the Family Guy (Mentally ill vs. Terrorist meme yet).
jfickeAs I noted earlier, our family have strong connections to someone injured and a relative lost a friend last Sunday. The wording does mean something to me and it should be reported correctly. I do not think anyone believes this was a car crash. I find that reporting to be insulting.
And yet if his objective was to hurt people in the parade, he was behind everyone... he could easily have made this a lot lot worse. Whatever his goal "monstrous idiot fleeing crime scene" seems more likely than "targeted xmas parade for terror attack" at least based on what I know at this point.
Terrorism has a specific definition that involves harm for political ends. Until there is evidence of that, it’s not terrorism. Which doesn’t exclude it being an intentional act. He was clearly already enraged, if he engaged in a domestic violence act beforehand. After the Rittenhouse verdict came in, all sorts of people said one needs to wait to see what the facts are before jumping to conclusions; the same applies here.
Fwiw, this was the post I took exception with. I thought it was complete speculation and insensitive at the time, especially when other scoopers had people directly involved. I made no comments before that other than wishing for the best for those involved.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Agreed. It was an intentional act. "Crash" implies it was accidental, which is an affront to those involved directly or indirectly. I'm not sure why some media outlets or people have an issue with calling it what it is. This murderous act isn't necessarily political (we don't have all the facts yet as they pertain to the motive), so who make it political?
If it's a lone wolf "accident", why did topper have to cancel his town's parade?
