I no longer watch the News on T.V. these days. But I happened to have W.G.N. Chicago on last night as its team began a lengthy discussion of the Waukesha Christmas parade tragedy. What became glaringly apparent within a few seconds was the constant repetition of the word “crash” in referring to the incident in question. “Crash” is a neutral word which neither suggests the event was an accident, while at the same time not implying it was a deliberately criminal act of mass homicide. Yet the accompanying film suggested it was in fact the latter. Why the reticence to judge, I wondered? Why the reticence to condemn what seemed to be a heinous criminal act? It turns out, of course, that its perpetrator is a Black man, a fact which does not fit the religious dementia presently infecting the “inclusive” Left.
While those possessed of that dementia constantly deride the Internet as a source of hate-filled misinformation, it was there, courtesy of Black “conservative” Damiani Bryant Felder, that I soon discovered the probable nature and motivation of the act in question. As bemused as was I by the media’s seeming unwillingness to indict a horrific act of violence, Felder investigated the past of the Black man, Darrell Brooks, who had killed 5 innocent adults while injuring over 40 others, many of them children.
What he discovered was an individual with a criminal record dating back to 1999! A sex offender also guilty of attempted murder with the same SUV he used this past Sunday, Brooks has been released from custody on more than one occasion courtesy of “progressive” bail policies based on the premise that demanding significant amounts of money from impoverished Black offenders is clearly racist. It was as a result of the “compassion” of the political Left that he was able to kill 5 people and wound 48 others in his murderous Sunday assault.
[Oops…..Make the murder toll 6…..It has just been reported that 8 year old Jackson Sparks has also died in hospital.]
That Brooks, as many in the mainstream media reported, was attempting to escape police after a domestic dispute, is simply not true. Felder, clearly not compromised by the color of his skin, researched Brooks’ past and suggested his act was very likely one of racially motivated terrorism. The media, he wryly pointed out, refused to use such language yet Brooks’ online posts show he was a staunch supporter of B.L.M. who had frequently vented his anger against the vileness of f…ing White people, his most recent rantings indicating he was disgusted with the Rittenhouse verdict.
Of course why would the mainstream media seek to highlight the hatred underlying Brooks’ killing spree when it is itself responsible for having stoked that hatred for over 18 months now?
George Floyd was a career criminal. The three individuals confronted by Kyle Rittenhouse had extensive criminal records. So also Darrell Brooks! Is there something fundamentally absurd about the perspective of the mainstream Left? Has it, as many who continue to see themselves as “progressives” have begun to admit, utterly lost touch with Reality? Is it possible that media Blacks such as Joy Reid who recklessly ascribe everything in their purview to White Supremacy are themselves the actual Racists?
