Milwaukee County DA admits it was a mistake to grant $1,000 bail to SUV-driving felon days before he smashed into Xmas parade: Darrell Brooks was freed after running over mother of his child and will now be charged with homicide after killing five
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Darrell Brooks Jr., 39, is the driver of the red Ford SUV that plowed through crowds on Sunday at the parade

  • Brooks was bailed out of jail on November 19 after posting a $1,000 cash bond on charges of battery, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and resisting an officer

  • The Milwaukee District Attorney admitted on Monday the bond was 'inappropriately low'

  • The charges relate to an incident on November 2 involving the mother of one of his children in Milwaukee

  • Brooks is said to have hunted her down in a hotel then followed her in the street in his car, demanding that she get in, before 'punching her with a closed fist' and then 'running her over'

  • Court records show he was charged on November 5, paid cash bond on the 11th but the records weren't updated until the 19th

  • On Sunday, he plowed through crowds at 4.39pm in his red Ford SUV, killing five people and injuring 48

  • The victims are all adults and their ages range from 52 to 81; they were named by police on Monday

  • Brooks Jr. was fleeing the scene of a domestic dispute which cops were on their way to


Milwaukee County Attorney John T Chisholm previously spoke of trying to reduce his county's prison population. He even let a progressive criminal justice nonprofit called Vera perform an 'audit' on his office.

Vera, which is based in New York, opposes cash bail, with the implementation of that measure partially-blamed for a crime spike in NYC. Milwaukee saw murders spike by 95 per cent between 2019 and 2020, with 2021 currently recording as many homicides as there were by the same stage of 2020.

Brooks lives some 20 miles away in Milwaukee in a suburban home where he films rap videos in the street.

#1 WHY was Darrell Brooks even on the streets? Waukesha Christmas parade killer with 22-year rap sheet was bailed TWICE this year alone and had bond lowered from $7,000 to just $500 in February: Cops admit they have NO motive for rampage either

#5 Cause the Left doesn't recognize human free will. Thus all miscreants are 'victims' even though hundreds and thousand in the same situation choose not to do destructive and criminal acts.

#7 $1,000 bond on a charge of "battery" for "running over his baby mama" ... thats called "attempted murder" in the rest of the US.

$1,000 bond for attempted murder and bail jumping...this goes beyond even deliberate indifference and is clearly criminal negligence o behalf of that DA...much like what those aggressive DA's charged the officers standing by in the Floyd incident.

I could make a criminal negligence case against the DA for intentionally setting a low bond or even any type of bond in that circumstance. A bond is set to ensure the accused will show for hearings/trial...which he did not...this is insanity. The DA took time to read those charges...make some type of deal...or through gross negligence release this obviously dangerous individual back on the streets to steal those victim's lives. They lost all that they are, were, or ever will be due to the negligence of that DA and the evil heart of that killer.

There has to be a way around qualified immunity to ensure the DA pays for his gross negligence.

Don’t re-elect him. He’s not the type to do well in private industry.

#9 ^ That's a good plan. It will work much better if criminals (and their relatives) don't get to vote and "outside money" is banished from the political equation. Unfortunately, I'd say neither improvement is anywhere in our immediate futures.

#10 Silly me. I thought if you were charged with bail jumping, and then subsequently arrested, you were immediately thrown in jail.
I mean, if you didn't show up for a hearing previously, why would they think you would show up next time, and set bail at $1000?

#14 That gentleman might not want to venture his 'revolution' much out of the city where he lives, Skidmark.

Lots of 'Private Firepower' in the suburbs and countryside.

Surprised it was only a Police Officer who fired at the suspect after the ramming. Concealed-carry is becoming a thing in the Milwaukee suburbs.

#16  Pretty certain that many of the people wearing MAGA hats are not Trumpsters. Some are ANTIFA and some are most likely agent provocateurs, Jan.6 needs an honest airing instead of this boondoggle created by Queen Nancy to support a left-wing anti-Trump narrative. The one guy in the article photo inside the House looks a lot like Ray Epps from Arizona.

#17 The "fleeing a knife fight" thing has been debunked. I wonder if the DA or media will bring up that he crossed the county line to go on his escapade.

I suspect we may see Badgers open carrying AR-15s at all public gatherings in red Wisconsin in the near future, although probably not in Milwaukee County.

#25 I'm watching the arraignment. I can't believe they are even considering giving him bail of any amount. $5 million cash was proposed. The suspect is a real and present danger to anyone within his reach, should he not be kept locked up. That would be a reasonable thing -- no bail.

#26 To the court commissioner's (judge's) credit, he's just following the law of the state of Wisconsin. He's going into some impassioned detail right now as to how he's appalled and has not in his 40 years with the court seen a case anything like this.

#28 For bail, how about $1 million per each person killed or injured during the "incident". After all, the DOJ is about to pay out about $130 million to families connected to the Stoneman School massacre since the FBI did not do what it could have done to prevent it.

#31 DA Chisholm has blood on his hands. It was entirely predictable that his deliberate policy would result in innocents being slaughtered.

"Guaranteed," you could say -- and Chisholm actually did say that years ago, in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

"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."
