    She's likely looking at the horrible mess the Biden Administration and the Congressional Democrats have made of the nation in 1 fast year and wondering how she can blow her way out of this one.

    If this guy was white and the victims black we would have already dismissed the whole thing as an "accident"

    Don't believe me? A guy jumped the curb in Baltimore and killed 5 people (all one family) waiting for a bus. They were black, he was white. He was charged with reckless driving since he was going close to 75 in a residential area. That was all.

    Leftists are certainly trying to dismiss it: calling it a "crash", blaming the SUV rather than the driver, claiming he was "fleeing" as justification for his actions, etc.

    The SUV was his weapon, and he was surrounded by cops who were pounding on the hood, and yelling for him to stop, but he kept going. One officer said that he was swerving back and forth trying to hit people. Since, cops were surrounding his vehicle, I can only assume that included cops. One cop did fire three rounds into the vehicle, but failed to stop him.

    Six years ago, a woman pulled the exact same thing in Oklahoma. Her stated reason? She was suicidal. It would make sense that there was a similar behind this event.

    I guess you did not read where I pointed out that Brooks was headed in the opposite direction of his home. A person that wants to get away from the cops does not run towards them. You need to take the time to consult a map. From where Brooks hit the barricades on E. Main St that were set up at the corner of E. Main St and White Rock, he was heading away from I94. Brooks could have taken White Rock North to less than a mile to Hwy 18. That would have taken him to I94. If he went east on E. Main St, in less the half a mile he would have hit Hwy 59 which again would have taken his to I94. He Brooks was not heading east. He was heading west. He hit the barricades one full block before the start of the parade. According to Google Maps, that is just under a quarter of a mile to change his mind.

    There are a few things I know about psychology. A scared person tends to run home. Not away from home. Brooks lived east of where he hit the barricades, but he was heading east. Second is, as I have stated many times, panic is not a permanent state. Without knowing the distance, direction or timeframe between the domestic disturbance we cannot support a claim of panic. Think about it. You are out on two felony bonds, you have just been involved in a domestic disturbance with you Ex, and she has just called 911. Is your instance to run towards the police or away from them? Coming down Main St, he would have seen road signs warning of road closure, and parade ahead at every intersection. In the opposite direction of where he was headed, was the interstate that would take him home. A panicked individual would not have been running in that direction. They would be running the other way. A man trying to avoid the cops do not run to where the cops are. If the address of the domestic dispute is to the north, south or west, then he would have intentionally drove to the start of the parade. Third is that no one can be panicked enough to drive more the half a mile hitting people. Not to mention swerving back and forth trying to hit as many as possible. One officer said that he had no expression on his face while he was hitting people. Further, even a person that is panicked and believes that they have no choice but to head in the direction that they are, they will try to mitigate the situation by honking the horn or flashing the lights. Have you seen any report that claims Brooks was doing that as he was hitting people?

    The fact is that the police have debunked that statement. That is why they charged Brooks with Intentional Homicide. Even if Brooks was panicked, that would only explain the first victims. To keep going was an intentional act. Even the media has abandoned the panicked theory. Yet, here is reasoning behind my belief in what happened. Six years ago, a white female college student pulled the same stunt. She originally claimed that she had been cramming for exams and was using drugs to keep going. Her boss said she was acting strange when she got to work, and sent her home. On the way home, she ran through the barricades of a homecoming parade. She killed 4 and injured more than 50. She claimed that she was under the influence and blacked out. But the police found no drugs in her system. Eventually, she admitted that she was suicidal. I believe that Brooks did the exact same thing, but with a few additional motivating factors. Those were politics and race. I believe that Brooks wanted his death to be a political/racial statement.

    Now, I am not saying that this is an absolute fact. I am merely saying that this is where the evidence is pointing. You can keep peddling you panic theory that has been abandoned by almost everyone else, or you can wake up and smell the coffee. You need to realize that wake and woke are two totally separate realities.

    I’ll say it again. Just imagine if this happened to a mostly Black parade or gay pride parade? The articles and coverage would be a 180.

    ABC had a little blurb this morning. Still an “accident”?? An SUV caused it. No name. No race. No motive. Astounding.

    But failed to stop him? If the guy wanted to commit suicide by cop why did he drive off?

    1) You been insisting from the get go that the motive for the crime was politically motivated terrorism. Saying now that ' I am not saying that this is an absolute fact' is, as far as I can tell the closest you've come so far to admitting that what you are actually doing is speculating about the possible motive and giving us your opinion as to what it was. Unless its Expert Opinion your opinion is not fact.

    2) One more time for the record. I'm not 'peddling' any theory about Brook's motive for the crime. I have no theory. In fact if anything I've shied away from offering one. Mainly that's because I'm not party to the evidence being collected by the investigators (neither are you) but also it's because when terrible crimes like this occur all to often people start assigning causes and agenda's to the event for partizan political purposes which (a) politically and socially weaponize tragedy and (b) all to often prove to be completely incorrect (by which time the damage has already been done).

    Finally the examples like panic etc I mentioned were only raised as potential alternatives to your claim that domestic' terrorism was the motive. As such I don't assign any weight to any of them because (again) I don't have any facts to work with. All I know for certain is that as of this moment (unlike you) investigating authorities are not claiming terrorism was the motive. If that changes fine, but it hasn't yet and until it does? Your still just speculating.

    Guy in Charlottesville killed one white lady and was labeled a white supremacist. Rittenhouse killed two white guys and was labeled a white supremacist. I think we can label the killing of 6 white people in Wisconsin by this black guy as racism.

    I think this is it but it's from 1995. Aleksander will have to let us know if it isn't:

    I looked too - the stories don't mention race. I did find that the victims were black, but only from this picture in the local paper HERE. Perhaps he has a story from THIS century?

    A tragedy is a preventable disaster.

    The poor girl is still on a vent.

    She was hit with enough force to detach her kidney from the renal artery.

    Its not good that she's still on a ventilator.

    Thanks to all for your help. I got distracted but would have gotten to it sometime. (I hope). I remembered it because I was in a class with a girl who was a relative. She was rather philosophical about it but I remember thinking I would not have been satisfied with the guy getting a suspended license and $500 fine.

    Glad we got to the right story. I'm surprised the charges weren't more severe such as negligent homicide since five people were killed.

    More divisive senseless horseshit peddled by the race-baiters within the Left.

    Variant? What Variant?
    Mask Mandate? What Mask Mandate?

    We All GOT it the FIRST Time...:bored:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...-omicron-varian.594625/page-9#post-1073098578

    How many more threads are you planning on spamming that into?:bored:

    Anyway, as far as the OP topic and the Brooks Case?

    According to the RW Echo Chamber, BLM (or BLM Sympathizers) was/were going to (Easily) come up with the $5 Million to bail him out.

    Why is he still in jail?

    I guess all of that "BLM will come up with $5 Million" Crap was just Absurdist RW Hyperbole?:bored:

    Because they haven't raised the money yet.

    Seriously, you needed to be told that?

    AJ you are like Michael Douglas in Falling Down.

    You are Michael Diuglas and America is the Korean shopkeeper.

    As an aside I met Kirk Douglass and Robert Downy Jr many times at the local cigar shop.

    Jr got arrested in front as we smoked cigars fella.
