It’s not getting any media attention, but we’ve done a couple of posts on the trial of Darrell Brooks, who (allegedly) plowed an SUV into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, killing six and wounding more than 60 more. Brooks has chosen to represent himself in court and objects to the proceedings often; when the judge referred to him as a person, he objected and declared, “I’m not a person, I’m a human being.” He asks witnesses to whom they’re referring when they say “Mr. Brooks.” This is pretty typical:
The mainstream media should be covering this trial like it was OJ in the 90s https://t.co/YChCy6E2HG

It took a month for the White House to send the B-team — Jill Biden and Doug Emhoff — to Waukesha, where Biden visited a hospital to talk about the importance of getting vaccinated. The president himself rushed to Buffalo after a mass shooting there, which The Daily Beast blamed in part on “the right-wing freakout” over the Waukesha massacre.
This is gold; check out USA Today’s coverage of the Brooks trial vs. an opinion piece on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial:

Brooks:
Brooks was visibly emotional as he talked about the impact to the families of the victims, the community of Waukesha and his own family. He removed his face mask he has donned for most of the trial so the jury could “see me for who I am, no mask.” “There’s always two sides to every story,” he said. “There’s only been one side told to this story.”
Rittenhouse:
Kyle Rittenhouse’s crocodile tears broke the internet Wednesday. In a nauseatingly melodramatic performance he choked back snot as he appeared to sob about how he feared for his life the day he shot and killed two people at a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Never mind that Rittenhouse was not guilty and Brooks most certainly is.
Sympathy for a person who deliberately ran down grandmas with his SUV vs. unmitigated hatred for a man defending himself while trying to escape his armed attackers. The duplicity and hypocrisy is stunning to behold.

Tell me you aren’t watching the trial, without telling me. Simply amazing. Watch Rekeita Law’s coverage and you’ll know what a s$@tshow this trial is. This man is beyond guilty and a disgusting piece of trash.

Fucking guy murdered an 8 year old boy days before Christmas. He deserves a cold cell for the rest of his natural life and eternity in hell.
This boys name is not known by the vast majority of this country but we all know the garbage humans who died in police custody.

An opinion piece vs not an opinion piece.

They're both opinion pieces. Even if they don't say they are.

We’re awaiting the opinion piece on Brooks and how obviously guilty he is of slaughtering six people.

Update:
At the trial for the #Waukesha parade massacre suspect on Friday, Darrell Brooks tried to intimidate the judge by staring her down. He's accused of killing a child and the elderly when he allegedly mowed down dozens in a parade last year. More: https://t.co/Erl1NWp8nV pic.twitter.com/lj2x0khPYl
