Waukesha suspect shared social media posts promoting violence towards white people | Daily Mail Online
The suspect accused of plowing into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin and killing five on Sunday shared social media posts promoting violence towards white people.
Today, eight-year-old Jackson Sparks was named by relatives as the sixth victim, having died in hospital from his injuries.
A now-deleted Facebook account belonging to Darrell Brooks Jr., 39, showed the alleged killer had encouraged knocking ‘white ppl [the f**k] out’ and also appeared to support the controversial Black Hebrew Israelites.
Brooks was charged on Tuesday with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide and is expected to face more charges.
Police are yet to determine the motive behind the deadly rampage, however, records reveal Brooks is a career criminal with a rap sheet dating back to 1999 and had been bailed twice this year.
Facebook posts also show the amateur rapper, who went by his stage name, MathBoi Fly, had shared a series of links and memes relating to race and white privilege in June 2020, when protests erupted over the death of George Floyd.
Murder is wrong, whatever the race of the victims. Murder is wrong, whether it advances some political narrative or not. Its victims should be remembered, not erased from our memories. We’re watching this awful thing happen before our eyes, yet we’re afraid to speak of it, because we’re afraid if we speak of it we’ll be calumnied. But we should mourn these six, and save some tears for our country.
