White House releases statement on car plowing through Wisconsin parade:
“The White House is closely monitoring the situation in Waukesha and our hearts go out to everyone who has been impacted by this terrible incident," the Biden White House said in a statement. "We have reached out to state and local officials to offer any support and assistance as needed.”
很奇怪, 白宫的发言没有谴责, 把它称作incident。 相反,以前看到的是Biden下跪
Records show Brooks was arrested on 5 November on charges of domestic abuse, resisting an officer, and second-degree recklessly endangering safety, disorderly conduct and felony bail jumping.
He pleaded not guilty to all counts and was released two days before the deadly Christmas parade attack after posting the $1,000 bond.
Brooks has another open felony case for second-degree recklessly endangering safety and possession of a firearm as a convicted felon from July 2020.
He has convictions dating back to 1999, according to Wisconsin court records.
Brooks was also a hip-hop musician who performed under the name MathBoi Fly.
In one of his music videos, which has been taken down, he could be seen rapping in front of a red SUV.
On a since-deleted social media profile, Brooks described himself as an “Underground Hip-Hop/Rap/Drill recording artist/producer/writer/actor”.
