Darrell Brooks plowed through the Waukesha Christmas Parade like he was in the fast lane driving home from work in rush hour traffic. He drove around barriers in his race through the Wisconsin town, rarely hitting the brakes and only honking at the performers and parade goers who lined the street for the small town’s annual, holiday celebration. 

Brooks didn’t seem to care he mowed some of them down, leaving young and old dead, injured and running for their lives. When police finally caught up with him, he had ditched his red SUV and denied he was ever behind the wheel. 

During the trial for his crimes, Darrell Brooks tried to bowl the court over with the same stubborn, pedal-to-the-metal attitude he showed at the parade, only this time he hit a roadblock and wound up in prison.
