Darrell Brooks, a Black man, was charged with intentional homicide after killing six White people ages 8 to 81 and injuring more than 40 others at the Waukesha Thanksgiving Parade.
But the Post didn't report that little tidbit. Instead they appeared to blame the vehicle. That's not journalism, that's propaganda.
"Here's what we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy caused by [an] SUV," the rag tweeted.
The verbal calisthenics to avoid implicating the opposing ideological view they hold about race is astounding. They worded the tweet in such a way as to get as much mental distance from what happened as possible.
"A quarter-mile from the rotary building, at 4:39 p.m., an officer told a dispatcher a maroon Ford Escape ‘just blew by [him]’ at White Rock and Hartwell avenues, the intersection where barricades blocking traffic to the parade were removed just a minute before, according to police audio and time codes provided by Broadcastify," the Post wrote in the report published Tuesday. "A few moments later, the SUV rammed through the parade participants, killing five and injuring more than 40 people, including children."
This came after they knew the identity of the driver.

Although Brooks was finally mentioned in the fifth paragraph, the following paragraphs read, "The SUV then drove down Main Street, hitting more than 40 people and killing at least five of them… Down the road, instead of following the parade route and make a turn to get to Wisconsin Avenue, the SUV went straight through North West Avenue, passing over the barriers."
Normal people who read this crap blasted the Washington Post on social media for making the vehicle the villain.
"What did they charge the SUV with?" Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller asked.
"It wasn't caused by an SUV; it was caused by the driver of an SUV," Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrison tweeted.
"Hope the SUV has a good lawyer," Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross quipped.
"Blaming guns for shootings and SUVs for truck attacks. At least there’s consistency," Daily Caller correspondent Anders Hagstrom wrote.
And so on.
This wasn't a self-driving Amazon delivery vehicle; it was the same vehicle Brooks used to run over his girlfriend, the mother of his baby. It was a vehicle driven by a Black racist--yeah, they do exist--and a felon who was released on bail twice; once for $1,000 and once for $500.
Now his bail is set at $5 million and we have to worry that morons like Rashida Tlaib and the rest of the squad don't try to raise the money to free his ass.
We need to ban SUVs?
