Unsubstantiated claims fly online after car plows into Wisconsin holiday parade,

[Guno צְבִי]

According to Nancy Chen of CBS News, on Monday morning, officers identified the man as Darrell Brooks. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Brooks had just been released from jail on Friday. He had previously been charged after running over a woman at a gas station with his car.

Based on Brooks' social media history and alleged criminal record, right-wing figures are advancing various theories about his motives and beliefs. Some of their allegations twist the facts or seem to rely on unverified rumors.

The Post Millennial's Andy Ngo tweeted that Brooks "posted a quote in 2016 on a now-deactivated Facebook account: 'Run them over. Keep traffic flowing & don't slow down for any of these idiots...' #BLM."

The implication of Ngo's tweet is plain: Brooks advocated running over pedestrians in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. A review of the post to which Ngo refers casts doubt on this narrative, however.

Per a screenshot attached to Ngo's tweet, Brooks reposted a Facebook post by a police officer who resigned after reports emerged that he'd written, "Run them over," along with advice on getting away with it in response to a planned Black Lives Matter protest in 2016.

t seems more likely that he was criticizing the officer for suggesting running over protesters than advocating doing the same.

Other conservative figures opined falsely that larger media outlets wouldn't cover the tragedy, presumably due to Brooks' race and social media posts, some of which include conspiracy theories.

"This guarantees this will vanish from CNN and MSNBC within a day (or less)," tweeted Joe Nicosia, a former editor of the right-wing Washington Examiner.

Islamophobic provocateur Laura Loomer went further than most in her characterization of the deadly attack.

Loomer wrote on Telegram, "The three suspects in the car ramming in Wisconsin are black. My guess is they are probably BLACK MUSLIMS because this was a direct attack on Christians and there’s only one ideology that is demented enough to attack people at a CHRISTMAS PARADE!"

Nowadays, anytime something like this happens, it's the loud-mouthed assholes on both side who are the first ones to open their yaps and be heard.

The sane rational ones will be heard soon.

If there are any.

I do believe the media will downplay the fact that he's black and the victims are white, though.

That's just what they do nowadays.

Sadly true, when "RACE" is seldom the issue in any case....

That's what the RWNJs do, sadly.

Our country will never be healed with those running around.
