39-year-old aspiring rapper, Darrell E. Brooks, has been arrested for deliberately driving his vehicle through the Waukesha Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The heinous incident occurred on Sunday, November 21, 2021 at 4:39PM.

Brooks was fleeing the scene of another crime, where was in a knife fight. Brooks callously plowed through the crowd at the parade, killing 5 people and injuring 48. Among the injured are 6 children, who are in critical condition in the hospital. In total Brooks injured 18 children.

The deceased victims are Virginia Sorenson, 79, LeAnna Owen, 71, Tamara Durand, 52, Jane Kulich, 52, and Wilhelm Hospel, 81. Brooks has been arrested on five counts of intentional homicide. Brooks is also eligible for additional charges for attempted murder and assault, in reference to the 48 people who were injured by his acts.

Previously, Brook had posted items online regarding how to run over people and get away with it. This will not go over well with a jury. It is clear he is a violent man with a terrible criminal streak that poses a danger to the public.

Brooks also has a criminal record. Brooks is a sex offender, who abused a 15-year-old girl. He was convicted of human sex trafficking and has an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Nevada, as he failed to register as a sex offender. He has other arrests for strangulation and assault.

Ironically, this month Brooks was out on a paltry $1,000 bond for running over his ex-girlfriend in Wisconsin. Any individual who engaged in attempted vehicular homicide should not have been free, especially on such a low bail. My condolences to the family and friends of the victims.
