Driver plows through Waukesha, WI Christmas parade.

Shit. Not far from Kenosha. I doubt that’s a coincidence.

About an hour. About as far as Gaige Grosskreutz drove to Kenosha.

So twice as far as Rittenhouse traveled? Got it.

I've been in Waukesha many times. Actually, driven through it many times, and stopped about a dozen times.

It's a typical Wisconsin suburban community. Strip malls, apartment complexes and upper-middle-class homes in subdivisions. It could be any town in the US.

Kenosha (which I drove through every time we went to the Cheddarshack) is a more industrial, business-oriented town. Perhaps "middle-class." We bought our 3rd GeorgeVan in Kenosha, and the family had a picnic on the lake there, about 15 months ago.

I think I left my shocked face in Kenosha.

I hope they catch the driver tonight.

Person of interest in custody.

11 adults and 6 pediatric patients transported to hospitals.

No definite account of fatalities, but probably more than one.

LuFins Dad

Did it look like they tried to go around the marching band then accelerated into the main throng?

George K · "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

40 injuries. 5 fatalities.

There is a "person of interest" but no word as to whether s/he's in custody.

LuFins Dad

So far we know of at least 5 dead and over 40 injured. We also know that among those are members of a Marching Band (high school students?), a priest, school children, a group of girls in Santa hats and waiving pompons (no ages given), and a group called The Dancing Grannies.

No, Wisconsin does not have the death penalty if anyone is wondering.

Would only recommend watching if you can handle it. Doesn't show bodies, but shows enough...including the first clip of him speeding past a dancing little girl (could've very well been my girl at the July 4th parade we attended in a very similar small town in MN) who was lucky not to get hit.

Also shows the likely perp (Darrell Edwards Brooks Jr).... and I highly doubt he was just fleeing another scene, and even if he was, his actions in the parade were deliberate.

Looking at the video, which shows some of his social media stuff, you may very well be right. Sounds like one pissed-off dude.

Jolly

Or crazy.
