Multiple people have been killed and more than 20 have been injured after a car ploughed through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin on Sunday evening.

Authorities say it’s not yet clear whether the incident has any link to terrorism.

Horrific footage filmed from an overhead vantage point showed the moment the car struck the marching band from behind, while another video showed a group of young girls waving pom-poms being mowed down.
“The vehicle struck more than 20 individuals – some were children,” Waukesha police chief Dan Thompson said at a press conference on Sunday night, adding there had been “some fatalities”.

“We will not be releasing information on the fatalities at this time while we are working on notifying the family members of the deceased,” he said.

“It is unknown at this time whether this incident has any nexus to terrorism. The scene is now safe and secure.”

If the cheerleaders were the target, it could be an incel terrorist attack.

The bad news which hasn't been released is the dead are likely to be teenage girls

Maybe brakes failed or a medical condition like a stroke happened.

Who would purposely target the DANCING GRANNIES?

I suggest people don't jump to conclusions.

Rumours are it was a Black activist, recently released from prison. If true, expect media silence in 5...4...3...

If you went unconscious from a stroke you wouldnt drive with the deliberate precision that this person was driving- straight down the road at full speed. You would tend to veer off to the side, and come to rest after smashing into a lamp post, or a store facade.

On the other hand it doesnt seem to have had anything to do with either of the first two things you would think of :niether Islamic terrorism by vehicle like what happened in France a few years ago, nor does it seem to have anything to with the Rittenhouse trial in the same state of Wisconsin. Not political.

The suspect they have in custody has a criminal record, and part of it was that he seems to have been fleeing a knife fight in a park. But we still dont know why he drove THAT way.

Yeah, I don't want to jump to conclusions. But this doesn't surprise me. There are loose cannons out there. Count your blessings if you've never encountered one. (And as Aspies, many of us are more likely to end up on their radars.)

It may not make rational sense, but, yes, there are people who would do such things, feel justified in doing so, and think nothing of it. I'm not saying the guy is guilty...but don't assume it MUST have been an accident either. Naive. Or a denial coping mechanism.

Making guesses isn't quite jumping to conclusions.

Someone's been digging:

Waukesha: Alleged Attacker Is a Convicted Pedophile, Repeat Felon and Self-Described Black Terrorist Who Preached Violence Against White People

Last night, a red Ford SUV plowed through a group of overwhelmingly white people at a Christmas parade in the town of Waukesha, which is west of Milwaukee.

Media reports have confirmed the identity of the alleged driver, Darrell E. Brooks, a registered sex offender who admitted in a video that he pimps children. The career criminal was released back into the streets on a paltry \$1000 bond despite being charged with bail-jumping and facing a plethora of violent felonies and misdemeanors just over two weeks ago, according to Wisconsin Court Records.

Many immediately speculated that Brooks’ actions had a racial motive and could constitute an act of Black Lives Matter inspired terrorism. So far, officials have refused to comment on this matter. There are five deaths and 40 injuries being officially reported, with many of the victims being children.

A source local to the area told National Justice that the death tally may be higher (closer to eight), and that the overwhelming majority of victims appear to be white. These reports are unconfirmed.

What can be confirmed is that the virulently anti-white, Black Lives Matter supporting Soundcloud rapper Mathboi Fly is Brooks, as proven by the man’s distinctive neck tattoo.

Mathboi Fly’s lyrics emphasize black racial grievance, hatred of white people, and the open support of terrorism and crime. One professionally shot music video shows Brooks rapping alongside men brandishing firearms in front of the same SUV he allegedly used to run the Christmas revelers over.

A Mathboi song titled “Minnesota” obtained could provide clues on the rapper’s mindset.
