Rep. Fitzgerald to Newsmax: Parade Deaths Point to Need for Bail Reform
Newsmax ^ | November 23, 2021 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Details emerging about the suspect accused of running over people in the Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade on Sunday point to the "absolute" need for bail reform, Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, who represents the district in Congress, said on Newsmax Tuesday.

"When you see kind of the rap sheet [and] the turnstile approach to justice, where these guys are in and out, in and out, in and out, it just goes back to a system that is broken," the Wisconsin Republican said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "Even though you know I'd love to deal with this at the federal level, it's still a state-by-state issue because there's such a diverse set of statutes, when you look at Wisconsin versus Illinois or Minnesota, and it reflects kind of the values there."

Darrell Brooks Jr., 39, of Milwaukee, is accused of driving an SUV into a Christmas parade in the suburban Milwaukee community, killing at least five people and injuring 48 others. He has two open criminal cases in Milwaukee County.

Wouldn’t it be re-reform? Or “Reformed Reform”?

Wasn’t the bastard was out on next-to-nothing bail resulting from the earlier “bail reform”?

Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm,

It was never about “bail reform” it was creating a special class of citizens.

Calling it “reform” is using the Left’s tactics against it.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Of course, this crisis will be out of the news cycle soon, if that hasn’t already happened.

What we really need is justice fair and quick and the death penalty for murderers.

Outside of the hardcore anti-cop and law and order crowd here on FR we were all predicting this last year.....

There was never any way this would have a good outcome. Never.

He doesn’t need prison! He needs medical care and long-term therapy! He should have been taken in an amber lamps, not a po-leece car.

Ahhhh. I see he is going to go for the insanity defense.

That look on his face is no accident. Granted, he probably looks like that all the time.

Maybe we should start by removing any and all of the Soros owned District Attorneys?

Parents of two brothers injured hoping for a ‘miracle’

The family of two brothers who suffered serious head injuries in the Waukesha Christmas parade attack say they are hoping for a miracle.

Tucker and Jackson Sparks are among three sets of siblings injured when a red SUV barrelled into marchers at the Christmas parade in Wisconsin.

Jackson, 8, underwent brain surgery on Sunday night at Children’s Wisconsin hospital and doctors were testing for brain function and brainstem activity on Monday.

“He needs a miracle,” the siblings’ cousin Alyssa Albro said in a GoFundMe page she has set up to help with the family’s mounting medical bills.

His older brother Tucker, 12, suffered a fractured skull and road rash but is expected to make a full recovery.

Bail reform is what caused this disaster.
