    This attempt to try to play this off as unintentional / just an accident is easily the dumbest thing that has been posted in this thread (and there are some other real doozies here).

    I have no clue what he intentionally did or did not do.
    I can only go by what the Waukesha Police report to the public.

    So the building just caught on fire by themselves, huh. The stores just looted themselves? Thats amazing.
    So yeah, they might as well been there for a poker tournament as the end result would be the same.

    Wisconsin officials will seek to charge a driver who ploughed into a Christmas parade on Sunday with five counts of intentional homicide.

    Police said Darrell Edward Brooks Jr, 39, killed five people, aged between 52 and 81, and injured 48 others, including young children, in Waukesha.

    Mr Brooks was fleeing a domestic disturbance when he mowed into the crowd, they said.

    They added he could face further charges based upon their investigation.

    Waukesha police also said the incident was not an act of terrorism.

    The news released by the police of Waukesha is out there for those who really want to know what is going on.

    Yep, looks like he was fleeing from his domestic abuse crime, not deliberately targeting white people for racially-motivated homicide:

    The charge will be 5 counts of intentional homicide, since he has every opportunity to stop, but hit the gas instead. It does not look like he went there specifically to kill people, which would bring 1st degree murder charges and possibly domestic terrorism. The people he injured will probably bring attempted murder charges. He is done. There is no doubt about it.

    Yes, you invent the most amazing "arguments" and then try to insert them in other peoples mouths. Its also amazing that you do not seem to know what the topic of the thread is.

    I already stated, social media is likely where he gets his information.
    Likely a list of friends all on social media. Where like minds all get together.

    He should be charged for attempted homicide/manslaughter for all of the other victims. One count for each.

    It was mostly in good-natured jest, but I'm not the only that has noticed a marked difference in your take on things lately. It's been refreshing.

    Apparently, some people lack the sophistication to realize that some people can think for themselves?
    Apparently, some people lack the sophistication to realize that all opinions aren't just a knee-jerk regurgitation of groupthink?

    Or just stating what the Police has stated publicly.

    ...
    Wisconsin officials will seek to charge a driver who ploughed into a Christmas parade on Sunday with five counts of intentional homicide.

    Police said Darrell Edward Brooks Jr, 39, killed five people, aged between 52 and 81, and injured 48 others, including young children, in Waukesha.

    Mr Brooks was fleeing a domestic disturbance when he mowed into the crowd, they said.

    The only lame attempt is to call someone out for posting what is in the news.

    they usually do not charge all, so they can try again if failed in court, even Andrea Yates was not charged for killing all her children, only 3

    The "news" are active participants in this left-wing effort to excuse / minimize his crime with this "fleeing" garbage.

    Totally get it on a practical level. I'm just more "normative" about these things than practical. Just part of the reason I'm not a lawyer.

    It is an integrated & interwoven part of the culture. It affects every aspect of life. Anger and hate are pronounced ..........making this county less than safe.. Throw politics into the mix and one has a pretty explosive situation. To that with the number of weapons around........... and you get the picture.

    How does "fleeing" minimize his crime in any way whatsoever?

    So now you don't want to talk about Kenosha? Funny, you were all over it a minute ago until you couldn't explain how all those poker playing National Guard never stopped one person from burning down businesses and looting stores.
    And now I'm inventing the fact of what the rioters were doing while not being stopped by the police or the National Guard?
    If you don't like being backed onto a corner then don't make ridiculous comments about how the NG was there to stop the rioters.
