Brooks’ case has now become a cause célèbre, not in the mainstream media, which was slammed for initially saying the deadly attack was caused by “a car” that drove into the parade, but by an increasing chorus of influential podcasters like Joe Rogan and online pundits who claim Brooks and his victims in Waukesha have been “swept under the carpet” by the press because it doesn’t fit their agenda.
The growing outcry may be why it was announced Saturday that First Lady Jill Biden and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will visit Waukesha on Wednesday. Though bordering ultra-Democrat Milwaukee County, Waukesha County is a Republican stronghold.
“We’ve got six people dead and teenagers so badly injured they will have to learn to walk again — at Christmas,” State Rep. Cindi Duchow, a Waukesha resident and Republican, told The Post.
Said Duchow: “Because this was a black guy who did it, the media doesn’t want to cover it. They were all over the Rittenhouse case because that kid was white. Race doesn’t matter to us here, but the media makes everything about race.”
“The left was so sympathetic to Kyle Rittenhouse’s victims but they’re not saying a word about the victims here,” Kapenga said. “It’s not fitting their narrative. The reality is that this person [Brooks] is pure evil and the left’s soft-on-crime policies are blowing up in their face. But they want to ignore it and hope it goes away. Meanwhile the parents of the eight-year-old boy killed at the parade are having to face their first Christmas without him.”
Millard said Brooks’ skin color and the politics of the case don’t matter to her and shouldn’t matter to anyone. She only wishes she could forget the nightmare she and so many others at the parade experienced.
Yeah, the coverage (or lack of) of this crime is really disgusting.

It's impossible to know the damage to the average American's psyche done by the relentless pushing of the race narrative by legacy corporate media, with that baton now handed to the moderation biases of social media. But I think it would be easy to underestimate. The ideas implanted into the brains of the masses create a huge amount of anger and unhappiness, out of nothing. And all, ultimately, in service of gathering votes for the Democrats, and social status for the indoctrinated masses.

FLOTUS spoke at Children's Wisconsin Hospital. The place where some victims are still hospitalized.
Guess what she didn't mention.
Dr. Cunt -which is probably an insult to cunts everywhere - doesn't give a rolling red rat's ass if your children die puking blood. She only cares about power. She only cares about the rapid conversion of America into a socialist nanny state, ran by her, her husband and his cronies, because they deserve their place in power, because they are the only ones smart enough to lead the struggling masses. And should be compensated accordingly.
There are dead grannies and children in Waukesha, killed by a black man who should have never been out on bail. There are sixty people injured by that man, who drove his car recklessly over their prostate bodies. He deserves to die as quickly as out justice system can try, convict and punish him, with his ashes dumped into the wet side of the sewage plant. And I'm not sure he's not better than Dr. Cunt and her husband...He's certainly more honest in his hatred for those middle-class white people that stood in his way of getting what he wanted.
Say their name, bitch. Lie to them and tell them that you care. It's the least you can do for the dead and injured.

If I wrote that about Trump, you'd say I had TDS.
Hate hard, right Jolly?

When did Trump ever act so callously to Americans killed by terrorists?

Aren't they visiting the victims of the attack? I thought they were, according to the headline.

Wrong. Very, very wrong. Give me an example of Melania making a political speech after a tragedy (and getting there two weeks late, to boot) and ignoring everything about the horrible event to concentrate on bending people to her political will.
I'll sit here until Hell freezes over and the Devil takes up figure skating, awaiting your reply, but you know, and I know you know, that you ain't got jack-shit on that one. I don't even think you have a whiff. I don't think you have it on Laura Bush. I think even Michelle Obama was smart enough not to go there very often. Jill can't help herself, because the man she is married to, is too busy being programmed to espouse his talking points for the day and putting on an early event cap, in order to eat his oatmeal on time.
I generally have a personal rule about FLOTUS. As long as they don't inject themselves into the political ring, I think we should lay off of them. I also think if they are going to become political operatives of their husbands or wives, they should take the firestorm of criticism that comes with it.

I'll submit that her speech wasn't overtly political. I'll give her a pass on that.
But, what is unforgivable, is to visit the hospital where the victims are still hospitalized, and not to even mention it.
Trump, Obama, Bush and others all made visits to scenes of tragedy (how long did it take Lyin' Joe to go to the tornado devastation?). At least they acknowledged it.
This was a photo-op - OK, they're all photo-ops - but ffs, at least show some concern.

To be fair, it was talked about a fair bit in the speech immediately prior to hers.
Clearly, she should have talked about it, too.

Jill Biden's speech wasn't political as far as I could tell. What was political about it?
Encouraging people to get vaccinated isn't political, is it?

There is nothing more political
Except maybe doofusses taking selfies

I would say making that trip and speech be about vaccination rather than the the attack was overtly political.

Let me rephrase that for you.
Giving a speech in favor of vaccinations of kids is not (or shouldn't be) political.
Going to the hospital where children are hospitalized because of a political/terrorist attack and ignoring said attack is blatantly political.
Agreed?

Yes, because of what was not said.
The Whitehouse knows that a speaker before FLOTUS ain't making the nightly news. FLOTUS will. The vaccine rah-rah is all fine and well, but Jesus Christ on a hobby-horse, couldn't she take at least 60 seconds to express her sympathy to the people of Waukesha for the heinous act which took place in their town and wish those children still in the hospital where she spoke a heartfelt "get well, soon"?

"How do you plead?"
"Not guilty"
Darrell Brooks Jr. on Friday pleaded not guilty to 77 charges, including six homicide counts, tied to the Waukesha Christmas Parade tragedy, but what exactly his defense team has in mind became clearer one day earlier.
In separate motions Thursday, defense attorney Jeremy Perri filed two key requests on behalf of the 39-year-old Milwaukee man, including a change of venue request that was not immediately discussed.
On Friday, the charges were formally presented in Waukesha County Circuit Court during Brooks' arraignment hearing, in which Perri requested an additional court date in front of a different judge — another twist in the nearly 3-month-old case.
Friday's hearing was short, lasting less than three minutes. Brooks waived a reading of the charges and Perri entered not guilty pleas on his behalf. None of the victims expressed an interest to speak during the arraignment before Court Commissioner Kevin Costello.
Brooks' attorneys have requested his trial be held in another county or before a jury drawn from another county. In either circumstance, they ask that the jury be sequestered during trial, a rare and expensive precaution.
The defense also exercised its right to substitute the original judge, and the case has been reassigned from Judge Michael Bohren to Chief Judge Jennifer Dorow.
In their request, Brooks' attorneys cited not only the widespread media coverage of the parade tragedy, but also the overwhelming community support of victims, expressed in millions of dollars of donations, dozens of vigils and even a visit to Waukesha to support victims by first lady Jill Biden.
The attorneys noted Waukesha County schools were closed for two days after the parade, and that more than 500 students received counseling when they reopened.
The motion also points out how "ubiquitous" the Waukesha Strong slogan and broken heart symbol have become in the county, in storefronts and front yards, as well as on social media. Ten thousand blue lightbulbs were distributed for free as another way for residents to show support for victims.
