Milwaukee County DA admits it was a mistake to grant $1,000 bail to SUV-driving felon days before he smashed into Xmas parade

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] The shamefaced Milwaukee District Attorney's Office admitted on Monday it was 'inappropriate' for convicted felon Darrell Brooks to be allowed out of jail on a $1,000 bond three weeks ago after trying to run over his ex-girlfriend, as he was charged with five counts of murder for the lives he took at the Waukesha Christmas Parade on Sunday night. Brooks, 39, was taken into custody in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Sunday night after police found his red Ford SUV parked neatly in a driveway five blocks from where he drove through crowds of kids and elderly dancing groups.

The amateur rapper has a long criminal history dating back to 1999 with more than 15 arrests in the state of Wisconsin alone for charges including possession of drugs, strangulation and suffocation, battery, illegally possessing firearms as a convicted felon and resisting arrest.

On Sunday, he was fleeing the scene of a domestic dispute when he crashed into the crowds after smashing through safety barriers and breezing past cops. One officer tried to stop him by shooting at his car but he stopped because there were too many people around for him to safely fire his weapon.

Police had just arrived at the home that Brooks had fled when he plowed into the parade crowds, killing five adults. The victims have been identified as Dancing Grannies Virginia Sorenson, 79, Leanna Owens, 71 and Tamara Durand, 52, Citizen Bank employee Jane Kulich, 52, and 82-year-old Wilhelm Hospel, the husband of one of the grannies. The Waukesha Police Department have now arrested Brooks on five murder charges.

On November 2, he was arrested on domestic violence charges after trying to 'run over' his ex, the mother of his child, at a gas station. His bond was set at $1,000 and he posted it on November 11th.

#2 I expect the Brooks' legal defense team to move for a change of venue, most likely to Milwaukee county.

#3 Could they sue the DA for reckless endangerment?

#4 The families hurt need to find some way to sue that DA and anybody who donated money for his election... all the way to poverty.

#5 DA Chisholm knew and predicted that this kind of low cash bail would cause innocents to be slaughtered.

This is not the first time.

Here's his logic in defending his lax policies in 2007 in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel - these policies resulted in a violent heroin addict's release after which the addict killed a woman:

"Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into treatment program, who's going to go out and kill somebody?" Chisholm said in a 2007 interview with the Journal Sentinel. "You bet. Guaranteed. It's guaranteed to happen. It does not invalidate the overall approach."

#6 ^ So, in some situations, "If it saves just one life" isn't the operative ~~excuse~~ argument.

#7 Soros Prosecutor Logic: The life of the victim is not worth as much as the inconvenience of the criminal.
