    So I think Brooks is using a four-layered defense:
    -It wasn't me driving.
    -If it was me driving, it was an accident.
    -If it wasn't an accident, you can't punish me because there's no plaintiff.
    -If there is a plaintiff, I'm a sovereign citizen, so you don't have jurisdiction over me.

    • @compzac
      @compzac Год назад +46

      you are completely correct that is his defense... now let me play the state
      -Heres evidence of the vehicle hitting people in the parade... heres video of the driver during those moments
      -heres evidence that he could have stopped at any point, or left the parade grounds via the blocked off streets with only plastic barricades
      -the plaintiff is the people of the state of wisconsin and the wisconsin/waukesha district attorney, so yes there is a plaintiff and no the state is not required to present an injured party, but we do have injured parties anyway, also your think of civil court cases this is a criminal case we the people do not have to present an injured party, id suggest you read up on law because we have for years to earn our suits
      -the citizen darrell brooks is indeed a citizen of the united states of america with a social security number, a Wisconsin driving license and place of residence, he had not submitted any paper work renouncing his citizenship to our country and has not provided any other countries paperwork to which he is a citizen, he will be tried as a citizen of this country and as such if found guilty will be sentenced, and will dutifully serve his sentence as a citizen of the US until such time that he either passes away or his sentence whatever it may be has been carried out.

      I have NEVER HATED someone I've never met or known. In fact I don't even like the word hate much less harboring that feeling BUT I ACTUALLY HATE THIS PIECE OF TRASH! There are many words that I could use to describe what he is but I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands that feel the same way. He's far from being a human but not even good enough to be called an animal. I like animals. THIS SAVAGE I HATE. I don't live in Waukesha. I don't live in Wisconsin. In fact I don't live anywhere close to Wisconsin. I don't even know anyone who lives in Wisconsin. If I feel THIS MUCH HATE towards this piece of trash I can't even BEGIN to imagine what those who were directly affected by this creatures actions must feel. I DO hope & pray that they are all, some way, some how, finding peace & are working on moving forward to live their lives to the fullest & not allow this creature to hold any space in their heart or mind nor steal any more from them than he already has. I looked up synonyms for the word hate & couldn't find any that were even close to depict what I feel towards this creature. I looked up angry & also couldn't find a word close to what i feel towards this creature. The same way I have these hostile feelings towards someone I've never met or known I also feel the COMPLETE OPPOSITE for those whose lives this creature has forever changed. I have so much love, compassion, empathy, hope & respect for each & every one of you. The way this community has pulled together, loved & cared for one another speaks for itself & is why people all over the WORLD love & support the people of Waukesha. Praying for you all. 🙏🏼❤🕊✝️🙏🏼

Out of the corner of his eye he saw a car barreling through the parade. If he would've said yes to his daughter, she may have been struck!

      They aren’t letting him do this. He has a constitutional right to defend himself- and confront his accuser. It is the law of the land. He stood for a hearing of competence. He was warned over and over of the negative aspects of defending himself- and the constitutional rights he would have to forfeit to defend himself- he made a lucid decision to ignore the advice of the court- and fired his attorneys in open court. He denied the offer for a lawyer to help him guide his way through the legal system. His motion for self defense was granted. There is no way for him to be represented by council- unless this judge holds him in contempt- and orders him to accept council- in which case this jury will be dismissed- and this whole circus would happen again. These are the facts. There is no death penalty in Wisconsin- so he will undoubtedly be sentenced to 6 life sentences- without the possibility of parole- each to run concurrently with the last- and a huge amount of years for the endangerment of the public- like 60 times. He is done.. when he is exposed to other inmates (which may take years- if ever) real justice will be done

All they can do is keep arresting them and hope the court system does its job. Unfortunately the court has been failing by giving too many lenient plea deals and not giving appropriate sentences.

He has shown no empathy at all, but has demanded that his rights not be violated. His mother is almost as bad as he is, when it comes to holding him accountable, she thinks he should go to a hospital instead of prison. She thinks he's been treated unfair at his trial, that he's a victim, but it was he who made a mockery of the court.
