At 4:00 CST, the town 5 miles away was rocked by horrible tragedy. A red SUV ran parade barricades, and intentionally ran over no fewer than 30 parade participants. Some were high school ban members. Others were dancing grannies. On top of this, the passenger fired at the crowd. I know people that were at the parade. I have family that teach in the district from which teens were run over.
It was intentional. Very, very sad.
Preliminary report from arrest site and local sources are identifying the suspect in custody as Darrel Brooks.
Before the incident he was witnessed in Kenosha threatening action over the Kenosha verdict. There have been posts (taken down) urging people to "take it to the burbs" and get justice.
I'm hoping this isn't the case.
However, killing children and grandmothers who were not part of a jury, trial, or activity in Kenosha is every kind of fucked up and I'm over it. Any attempt by anyone to justify doing this is beyond helping.

teach4u That is absolutely horrific! I am so sorry for your community and your family and friends. Prayers that everyone survives and the injuries are not life changing. Update: I am so sorry that one person has lost their life.

Whoever said they'd do that is a heartless bitch.
One child is confirmed critical and one adult dead.

They have located the red SUV, and a person of interest. Waukesha Police say they've recovered the red SUV that plowed into parade and a 'person of interest' Sarah K. Burris November 21, 2021 Police Chief Daniel P. Thompson confirmed at least 20 people were injured and likely more. Videos show a chaotic scene as the injured lay on the road and community members raced to help. *** WGTV revealed the vehicle the police believe was involved, posting photos that show the front sashed in and prt of the bumper hanging. www.rawstory.com/waukesha-police-suspect-suv-custody/ |

Former FBI terrorism experts saw something fishy in the red SUV attack that is going unnoticed Sarah K. Burris November 21, 2021 Former FBI agents Clint Watts and Frank Figliuzzi agreed that there was something different about the Waukesha mass casualty event than previous incidents. Watts pointed out that if the driver had wanted to kill as many people as possible, why would he swerve around trying not to hit anybody? "It was a very unusual video, and I having looked at other terrorist attacks which were vehicle-borne attacks," said Watts. "They are quite different. I am confused of what to make of it. The driver in some places seemed to deliberately mow over people and other places to dodge them. So, I think there is a lot to learn to be honest, and I don't think we should probably jump to any conclusions right at the outset because it is very strange if you've watched any of the video and there is a lot of it online I would not encourage people to watch it because it is traumatic. It is a very strange incident." He went on to say that the event had a heavy police presence and that terrorists look for places where there isn't law enforcement. "Usually, a vehicle-borne attack, if the goal is to produce lots of casualties, they wouldn't stop and only hit one person," Watts continued. "What is odd in the video is at times the vehicle seems to be hitting and colliding with people apparently deliberately other times not. That is unusual. It is also strange in terms of circumstances with the barricades. There was a heavy law enforcement presence. This is known. They knew there was a parade and there would be law enforcement." www.rawstory.com/terrorism-expert-waukesha-suv/ |

I haven't watched any footage but I'm heartsick. The lunatics are out in full force, it seems.
I am so very sorry for all of the innocents who lost their lives and for those who love them, as well as for a traumatized community.
Words can't do it justice.

MSNBC is on live. Person in custody. Possibly looking for others.
They may have been fleeing from stabbing crime scene., Which might explain the erratic driving, and trying to go around some people.
Another press conference at top of the hour. 12 midnight EST.
They have set up a reception center.
Press briefing tomorrow 1pm Central time.

Bump It was an attack. The guy drove like normal and then gunned it. They have him and it was retaliatory. |

I think people need to be careful what they are putting out there. There is quite a bit of misinformation or unknowns about the motive or intention already in this thread. This is a horrible thing to happen, but we all need to make sure that we are sharing accurate information.

The story is horrific. So far, I’ve only read about the tragedy on the New York Times website. I don’t ever want to see a video, but I feel it will be unavoidable.

Bump It was an attack. The guy drove like normal and then gunned it. They have him and it was retaliatory. CNN and others are not reporting that information. Curious why you are so adamant it was retaliation for the Rittenhouse verdict? I am extremely sorry for everyone affected by this, I cannot even imagine the horror and sadness, but I don't think a rush to judgement is helpful. |
