I did meth and had a pill problem. I sought help on my own. Through my struggles, I never physically hurt anyone. Some of us have empathy and some don't.
Stay strong, you're a much bigger man than this attention-seeker. We all face our demons, some of us (Darrel) just face them in the mirror and smile...
You did meth? Did you... _Become the drug??_ lol
You can't blame drugs for things like murder. If that were the case I should be a Cereal Killer
@@Jon--Jones Idk man... The alibi seemed to work out pretty well for Brooks..
Way to go meth head.
Erika said he never did anything but weed but he wanted to be on the show so he made it up.
That would make sense.
I can believe it, especially after watching the documentary footage. Looks like he was making it up as he goes.
@Lyndsey 79 samee
Attention seeking narcissistic anti social personality disorder with Borderline traits. Lovely to be around I'm sure.
She was with him on and off for 16 years which is how she was able to have 4 other children after she had her first child with Darrell 16 years ago.
People around him at the time said he never used meth. He wanted the limelight of the interview. I believe them.
He was never on Meth,he already got outed.He was going to get less time for participating in the doc and he just wanted to be in front of the camera.
If nothing else, he's a liar and an opportunist!!
He's just an evil person. There's no drug that can cause this.
there is tho..a few of them
@@johnnydrama3829 Nope. I've seen crackheads that have more respect and empathy for others than this POS on the screen. He has 0 excuses for wrongdoings.
It does in some cases
Yes there are many drugs out there that can create monsters. This isn't the case here!
Uh… there is
Its worth mentioning that Darrel Brooks was evaluated by 4 psychologists during the trial (as indicated during the sentencing) back in August, and they all more or less said he did NOT have any kind of mental illness that would impact his competency to stand trial; (such as schizophrenia).
Right, always gonna be snowflakes who feel sorry for demons smh
And he was most likely evaluated by a fifth psychologist. It has been speculated that his defense attorney, when he had them, had him evaluated but they didn’t get a report because it didn’t find any mental illness. Sure, he has a personality disorder, but he isn’t mentally ill.
all you need to be deemed competent is 3 things... who is the judge, mediator. who is prosecuter, against you. who is defense, for you. thats it. ive seen schitzos deemed competent and completely competent ppl say the judge is out to get them and deemed not competent to stand trial do 6 months in a mental ward and let go or rehabbed til they say the judge is a referee and go back to trial... its that simple
@@ellem2293 he is possessed
And If Brooks could've used drugs as a excuse he would have
This changes nothing for me. He still deserves everything he got
Yes he does and I totally agree. But tbh he had it coming to spend the rest of his life in prison even before the Waukesha parade happened. I mean he was on felony bond on two separate cases before. It was a long time coming and I’m sure he realizes it now. I feel bad for him but I hate him at the same time
I don’t care if he was or is on meth. He is where he belongs and glad he will never get out, If he was out he would be on it again and god knows what he would do again. Don’t trust this murderer
I don't think it was meant to change anything.
I highly doubt that it was meant to change anything. The point of it is yes maybe none of his mental problems caused him to do what he did that horrible day but there could be plenty of other reasons behind it. I think that Demon Brooks is evil and I also believe that he doesn’t even know why he did what he did
15 yrs later and he's still a lost cause!
Always been an attention-seeking narc who plays the victim. As a long-term (17-year) user of amphetamines who started in my teens, they don't turn you into a mindless zombie like some horror movie villain. They can increase paranoia, aggression & mood swings but unless you already have a tendency toward those issues and are using an excessively high dose, it ain't happening. Own your behavior. If you believe a substance is "making" you violent or depressed, that's a huge clue that you need to cut back or stop. Alcohol is that drug for me & I haven't touched it since 2003.
Hate this guy but this is the dumbest comment here lmao like no.
Your 💯 percent correct
but with meth ur good?
The behavior now he was help blame it on mental behavior blame it on a Satan and God be the glory I pray for the families that he killed may his days long and miserable you been getting the way with murder for a long time thanks to his mother spare the child spare the rod
Be a cringe lord and edit the comment since it has so many likes, just like a cringe lord would do
He was lying. It’s obvious that he is not a meth user.
This guy loves to hear the sound of his own voice and will be giving interviews to whomever asks him because he now perceives himself as ‘famous’.
I bet he’d ask to play himself in the movie that will no doubt be made about him 🙄 Malignant narcissism is part of psychopathy after all
I will rather be unknown and free than rot in jail for the rest of my life.
I started watching this vid then thought, "I've had enough of this man." I turned it off and felt the better for it. I'm not sure anyone can learn anything from him other than not to have people like him in your life! Stay safe people, keep clear of the DBs in the world.
It's like Law & Crime want us to feel sympathy for this vile individual. We should forget about him and think about those who suffered as a result of his conduct. It's a long list.
👍
Yes people need to excise someone like this from their life. What we didn't see in all his media videos is just how the narcissist sociopath entices, manipulates, cons, and exploits their way into peoples lives and relationships with those around them. Because they certainly don't show the side of themselves we saw during his trial until much later. Usually when someone either recognizes their toxicity and chooses to sever the relationship, or when the narcissist or sociopath is desperately trying to prevent being exposed. All aspects of their cold hearted, soulless, evil.
I felt exactly the same way. Watching the trial, I saw a narcissist desperate for attention who manufactured a horrible and heinous crime to get the attention.
Good for you. I’m almost over the hump. I was hooked until the end of the trial. Not so much now, but still fascinated by these events.
Why do I feel that this was a lie too?
Because it is. Erika Patterson did a live on someone’s YT and she said this video was a lie. He just wanted to be filmed for attention. Look it up..Edit: I saw it on Norm Nick’s channel.
@@nicolelocqueen can you tell me which channel she did this on?
@@nicolelocqueen Was that on Norm Nick's channel?
@@maximusprime3459 Yes!
@@essohayee look up Norm Nick’s channel
He has antisocial personality disorder. If you want to see what generational narcissism looks like, I direct you to his grandmother's testimony at his sentencing. It was all about her
He definitely learned from one of the best!
Totally agree. xx
That stood out for me, her statement seemed so inappropriate given the circumstances.
That was a crazy testimony given the circumstances. She started fine like apologising for her monster grandson and then it went downhill from there.
Yes. I found it humorous that he started by saying that he would have about 30 people wanting to speak on his behalf. Then when they time comes, he has three. Barely. And of the three, only one of them really made any sort of plea that was remotely an attempt to speak out for Darrell. His mother tried to play a victim card and his "grandmother" (my understanding that it was not his actual grandmother) decided to use the time for self-promotion. Not that any of that would have mattered in the end. There was nothing they could have said that was going to stop him from spending the rest of his life in prison. And the amount of time he got would mean that his bones would turn to dust before he ever served his full sentence.
Many of us dealt with drugs on more extreme levels. Not an excuse for serial murder.
He should really stop trying to create excuses. He hated the situation and decided to kill.
This was in 2007
That's right! He intentionally used his car to kill and maim.
It looks like this was done when he was younger but now that we can see he appears to be highly narcissistic and antisocial. It means he would have jumped at an opportunity to be on camera and get attention. They are also known for their pathological lying ad
S well. So there's that factor to consider.
Sober for 3 years now. Used to panhandle for opiates. Was homeless. Feel so much shame for that time.. but I’ve never physically hurt anyone besides myself
He can't blame anything other than a temper tantrum! Lots of people struggle with mental health issues, addictions, terrible home lives, etc and they haven't used a vehicle to run over people like speed bumps!
I've never been less sympathetic to another man's struggles.
He's blamed everything and everyone but himself 🤪
Commentary on this clip and the like doesn't help. Just gives him another excuse..."the drugs made me do it".
BS
He's a magnificently talented liar. Like it's his first language.
He's a horrible liar...
Laughed when the drug counselor stated "he isn't under the influence of drugs .....because he's in prison"
*massive eye roll*
Maybe he's not. He's in isolation. You need to be in the general population to be able to score.
Excellent comment.
Speaking as another licensed addiction counselor- this counselor should be well aware that just because someone is incarcerated does not mean they have no access to illicit substances.
He don’t need meth to make him inherently evil.
He wasn't on meth in jail, and we all saw his true self in court
There's horrible. Then there's the lowest of the lows. Then there's the worst of the worst.
Then there's Darrell Brooks.
Well spoken.
Lol
He’s a killer period!!!
Brooks trying to use drugs as an excuse or addiction as an excuse is an absolute joke. He is just trying to avoid accountability
It wouldn't matter if drugs were the reason, that does not protect you from consequences.
That video of him is from 07 long before he killed those ppl. So no he wasnt trying to use drugs as the excuse. He also didnt bring that up in the court case as a defense.
Not to defend him but this video was made long before the parade incident happened. I don’t think he brought up drugs once. Still a p.o.s. though.
The media are giving this guy WAY too much oxygen. Poor me syndrome. Lots of people have way worse problems and they don't do what this narcissist did.
This is before that stuff. Not everything is an excuse
Stop putting him in the spotlight!!
Given the type of personality Brooks has, there is a very high chance he didn't use meth. His type of personality would have seen the chance to be in a documentary as a form of fame seeking. These personality types commonly exadgerate or lie about themselves to build up their past to impress others or to fabricate excuses for their past behaviors.
My brother had the exact same personality disorders as Brooks. The argument patterns he used in the trial were a mirror of what my brother was like, and he was always exadgerating or lying either to impress new people or as excuses for why he had done something. It's always someone or something else's fault, not theirs.
No, actually. Many narcissists are drawn to addiction. It’s possible he used and has a flair for dramatics and is constantly in a narcissist’s scramble.
@@realone7488I agree with you.
Makes sense to me 🤔🤷♂️
Narcissists get high on their self-image. His discription does not sound like what I've heard from meth addicts. It is what he thinks meth addiction is.
Absolutely. One of the characteristics that is common among them is pathological lying. If they are drug users it is a personal choice. Not an issue driven by the personality disorder they suffer. The narcissist and especially sociopath do not have the emotional struggles that are associated with self reflection because they are not able to self reflect. So they don't see themselves as being the problem. Other people are. Most drug users are looking for escape from the emotional pain of life.
No way! A career criminal going on to commit such a horrible act?? Who could have ever seen it coming!?
To be fair, very few career criminals commit violent acts of this magnitude. While it is very likely that a violent psychopath like him would have murdered one of his exes, most likely Erica Patterson, and may have been enticed into shooting up a nightclub or something because he is a violent psychopath with no conscience, only showing emotion when something directly affects him, there are a lot of psychopaths but few commit mass murder. If you look at people who are heads of big businesses, CEO’s etc, there are actually a lot of psychopaths & sociopaths among them. Donald Dump is one. He has absolutely no conscience whatsoever regarding all the crimes he’s committed, nor all the lies he’s told, nor the multiple lives he’s ruined over the decades. He only cares about his ego. He may well have had people killed, particularly after becoming POTUS, & he doesn’t care that people died during the insurrection on Jan 6th, nor that he’s trying to start a civil war on his own behalf but he’s not likely to ever actually take out a gun & kill people himself.
“Psychopathy is more common than most people realize. People with psychopathic traits show less empathy and remorse than other people. They may lie, cheat, and steal, but they may also be friendly, smart, and basically unremarkable. In other words, impossible to pick out of a crowd.
Although severe psychopathy affects just about 1% of people, some research suggests that close to 30% of us have some level of psychopathic traits. And we may even know people who fall under this broad umbrella. “

Episode 182
It’s not the meth that made him “despicable” or a monster - that’s all HIM. He is those terrible things all on his own with or without meth.
I agree! He's bad to the bone!
I think this is a disgrace for this channel to still have his face plastered on here. He could have some bipolar depression anxiety but he knew full well killing someone was wrong. Stop showing this man's face and let the victims in the families heal. STOP
Stop watching.
@@rbell1313 can't help it when it comes across your feed. I didn't watch the contents of it I sure wouldn't give it any views.
@@cdelane3335 you watched it.
Don’t lie.
I wish we could stop giving this man attention. He is a narcissist. He feeds off this. Please stop giving this guy time on screen. It's disrespectful to the victims. I understand this is an old clip but my point still stands. We want this monster forgotten. Let's just move on from this.
SOON!!
No we don't want him forgotten. This is how this tragedy manifested in the first place.
People like you not paying attention and just floating through life like it's a big parade.
Real life is not a parade. It can be quite ugly and twisted.
We are studying him to understand better and keep a close eye on the wickedness 👀
Don’t worry. He’s not seeing it anytime soon 😂
I doubt that he watches all of these videos
I don't think he watches anything from where he is at. I think his mother talks to him about him being in the news and online. So don't worry nobody is watching because they love him but because its hard to fathom the kind if evil that lives inside this man. He is an actual monster and people need to be aware of him and repudiate him.
The 4 Psychologists who evaluated him said he had Antisocial Personality Disorder. Most serial or mass murderers have this diagnosis.
Yes it’s a polite term for psychopath
And his mother and grandmother both lied about his condition and any “medication”
It was four psychiatrists who evaluated Brooks, not psychologists. They are not the same thing.
@@blaze4158 I believe Judge Dorow referred to the reports as being conducted by Psychologists. This would make sense as they’re the ones who typically perform these exhaustive testing metrics.
Watching the trial, I saw a narcissist desperate for attention who manufactured a horrible and heinous crime to get the attention. It is time for Darrel Brooks to be put behind bars and move on. I feel like this perpetuates DB's spectacles and clowning during the trial.
He's such a con man.
Stop trying to sympathize with this unremorseful monster and stop giving him publicity. Let him rot in prison. There is 0 excuse for doing what he did PERIOD. Seriously it's highly disrespectful to the victims and their families who are grieving and trying to recover. Unsubscribed!
The testimony of grandma and mum revealed the origins of the problem.
I think the best drug counsellors are the ones who have struggled with addiction themselves and are more relatable than some person who has no idea outside of a textbook. I've never taken Meth, but when I was younger I took speed and I was up for 4 days once. Day 3 I kept looking out my window and I swore that the police was sat in my car watching me. Day 4 everyone who walked by was onto me, it was weird. But I was being paranoid, it had nothing to do with voices.
This chick looks like she never even took an aspirin. Useless. xx
I love this! I am in recovery and I have literally become a different person many time in active addiction. It’s very dry but also very real!
Totally agree 100 per cent. My daughter works like that, she is called a peer group leader and all the clients love her because they relate more to her than to me, the nurse, or the therapist.
.she has never been on meth, but there are other addictions
It's a double edged sword alot of former addicts who become drug counselor have an extremely high rate of relapse due to being in that environment constantly
Thank you for your comment. I'm furious they chose this woman to insinuate he has lasting effects. I, to, was in major pain meds for 10 years. Went off cold tourney and speak to a counselor that was a former drug user. Skes brilliant unlike goody two shoes they're using.
Darrell have demons inside him that influences his rage and anger.
🎯🎯🎯
I hate how we were kept in the dark about his criminal past. This story get more crazy everyday.
Tons of info about his past on RUclips. Hours of video. Much local Milwaukee, Waukesha, NV TV stations.
If you watched the pre-trial hearings, you would hear about most, if not all of it.
Crazy the Jury was but still found him guilty, I bet they feel even more justified, I would.
Get over it
How did u not know , we all knew his past from day one
This isnt about excusing Brooks. It's a reminder of how easily you can lose yourself to a substance if you're not careful.
We all make choices.
yup
He wasn’t affected by drugs or alcohol when he murdered, injured & traumatised all those people. They clearly stated that in the evidence. And he was only diagnosed with “Anti Social Personality Disorder” which is basically the modern term for being a clinical psychopath, on the background of a conduct disorder when young, which I believe is Oppositional Defiance Disorder. He has definitely used Meth & was imprisoned for it at some stage, but that’s not why he did what he did. I don’t know if he intended it when he drove into the parade route, particularly since he avoided the first few people, but then he deliberately chose in that moment to hurt people just before he accelerated & drove at people.
@@allisonjames2923 didn't say it's why he did what he did. But meth literally changes your brain chemistry in the long term. Can you say for certain it wasn't a contributing factor or at least exacerbate existing issues? Again this doesn't excuse anything.
And even if you are "careful". One time is too many times
"You become the drug. Not even human being" The funny part is he probably thought that sounded so deep and profound. lol.
Erika Patterson did a Live on someone’s YT channel stating that this meth story was a lie. Look it up.
@@R.King203 Yup, that’s the channel! I could of think of his name..
He’s not a human being with or without the drug.
He’s always looking for a way to describe how his own behaviour just seems to happen to him and not from him.
It's 6 life sentences plus 1000+ year. 17.5*61 years is more than 700 years🤦 This man has not learned one thing! He never will.
"You become the drug", lol it sounds profound but is totally meaningless. This guy has been drinking his own cool aid all his life.
Good at picking up soundbites. Total fake. xx
Looks like he was in jail for that interview too way back then. Some guys never learn.
My ex was a major meth user most of his life. He was mentally, physically, and emotionally abusive. However, he never heard voices telling him to do anything. He would get locked up cleaned up and be normal. Shes making excuses just like everyone does when they get into trouble.
Exactly, and to make matters worst, the two ladies featured in this video are being PAID to even suggest the idea!
Shes simply saying that long term meth use can cause periods of psychosis in people. Thats a KNOWN fact it was even shown in breaking bad. You knew one meth user so you arent really saying anything here.
So, this doc was done and D.B. was interviewed for it. He had the camera on him, which he thrives on. Watching the entire trial, ai'm convinced that D.B. is perfectly capable of being a "nice guy" when it benefits him. I, for one, will never consider anything other than narcissism for this guy. And, this apple doesn't fall very far from his family tree.
Ah yes playing victim blaming meth.
She seems like she doesn’t know much for a licensed addiction counselor….
Woke college.
She doesn’t, given 10 minutes alone with Darrell and she will become his bissshhhh
You literally SEE shadow people while on meth and think everyone is watching you. Sometimes there are people watching you cause you bring attention to yourself
She’s terrible!!
Thank you for saying that. It would be funny if these people were not actually let loose in the system. Imagine all the "good" this nitwit will do.....xx
Darrell played the cameras even back then. He’s a narcissist and he probably got payed for the interview. Unbelievable!
I totally agree with you..he was chasing that $$$$💰💰
Darrell is not what she's talking about. There is video footage of him before and after the parade incident. The interrogation of him shows he is just a POS, not a drug addict. He was very clear minded and was trying to weasel out of killing all those innocent people. 😡
He should not be given any screen time or interviews. He needs to be forgotten forever.
Word. xx
Justice barely served .
He'll get it in there if hes in general population hopefully
What justice do you want?
In a liberal state like Wisconsin, that is as good as it gets.
He got 6 life sentences and 700+ years. In a state without the death penalty, what more could he get??
@@notthefather3919 luckily the trial was in Waukesha, which is a very red county. If this took place in Dane County (Madison) he probably would have gotten 20 years. WI isn't that liberal outside of Madison and Milwaukee.
@@notthefather3919 death. That's real justice
I could believe he didnt even have issue with Meth but just said he Did so he could be in the Documentary because he is So narcissistic
his baby mama said just that he never did metg
His cadence hasn’t changed.
Do you have subject matter jurisdiction?
He needs to be forgotten.
This reminds me of when serial killer John Wayne Gacey appeared in a documentary about prison inmates years before he became a serial killer, in the doc they interviewed him when he was an inmate and the head cook of the prison kitchen where he was serving time at, for an earlier crime.
It sounds like that addiction counsellor knows nothing about meth...
I've never seen past meth addicts drive through parades. I live in a shady part of Brooklyn. The drug addicts don't do that.
I love Pizza Wagon close to bayridge.
@@dreamgames8551 pizza places here in Coney aren't too bad. Some places are meh.
Blaming meth for his behavior
How about talking about his momma enabling him early in his life? Too many of us have done drugs and never had an urge to hurt anyone
You're 100 percent right
He isn't a human being. He is just plain evil.
Drugs, eh? OK, let’s reduce your sentence by one life term. Feel better now, Darrell?
There’s only one problem, according to Erika Patterson he never did meth. She was with him that era and that was not the case. So…..
It sounds like Erika didn't really know him... she admits that he claimed to have family she'd never heard of, and his list of folks speaking on his behalf including the close female friend from NV that spoke via zoom. Erika knew nothing of her. Also his baby in Iowa, Erika didn't recognize her nsme
He led a double life, and had different behaviors for each person in his life, so it's understandable that even Erika didn't really know him.He hid a lot from her
I don't know what was wrong with him but I do know he got enough time to figure it out
Darrell Brooks went to prison today on the 1 year anniversary of the parade...WI did a fantastic job
Lol digging as hard as they can for new content to ride that Darrell Brooks viewer train
Why are you mad?
@@ME-xd4he seems like they’re just making an accurate observation, and that you’re the one who’s mad 😂
Aint that the truth, the entire ethos of law, crime punishment and justice have become bloated by sensationalism and exploited in bad faith for the purpose of ratings.
Agree. xx
Might be true, but I don't hope you're surprised by that. You could say that about anyone covering this guy (or anything else).
The non-violent tweakers out there watch this like 🧐🧐🧐bruh
Exactly. All the ADHD & narcolepsy patients who have used high-dose Adderall, Dexedrine or Desoxyn daily since childhood & never mowed down a bunch of Christmas grannies see this for what it is. If meth "makes" you violent & miserable, choose another drug.
HOW DID YOU FIND THIS. MY GOD YOURE A LEGEND
Why would ANYBODY give ANY credence to what this guy has to say ? He is still disrespectful and a absolute monster without taking meth.... these people were CRAZY to talk with this guy !
I honestly hope you give ALL proceeds from this to the Wabasha victims fund!!
Only fair. xx
Waukesha. lol
He’s a Crystal Methodist.
“Man of God” so he says.
somebody please convince the victims to now pursue charges against Brooks's mother...she lent him the car....she bailed him out...she is part of this disaster!!
Yes, she's his enabler.
Just because you use substances doesn’t mean it excuses one’s behavior.
It's not diagnosed mental disorders that upset me; it's an individual's decision to become addicted to meth and go around blaming everything under the sun ---- except himself. The TV character Miss Geraldine comes to mind: "The devil made me do it." But this is real life, not comedy sketches. Brooks never showed any concern or remorse for what he did. In fact, he played the victim to a T.
It was a LIE.. He aint used Meth, he was in prison at the time. His ex Erika already spoke on it ages ago
Ah, yes. Because someone can indeed "decide" to become addicted to something. Ok, Linda.
he never did meth but he is possessed
More focus and discussion should be placed on the mother of Daryl Brooks. The fact that he almost certainly has antisocial personality disorder means that he had a conduct disorder early on which is usually a result of some sort of attachment disorder when he was a very young child. Many of these issues before even saw his mother testify very much presented as presented as something related to what was going on with how he was raised as a child
Watching this....takes me back to thanksgiving week 2021. My brother was hospitalized the Tuesday prior to thanksgiving. He was 52 years old and a known junkie that had been doing meth, heroin and anything he could get his hands on by the time he was in his 40s. At 40, he had a quadruple bypass due to damage to his heart from meth. Long story short, by this last hospitalization at thanksgiving, he had a procedure done, left the hospital, went to his drug dealers house and then to his junkie girlfriends house and used. About to years prior, he has a pacemaker/defibrillator placed in him. So, this particular week when he used, his defibrillator started shocking him because his heart had given out and the drug use was now too much. So he drove himself to the hospital and I received a call from his nurse letting me know he was there and to let the family know what was going on but he wouldn’t be leaving the hospital this time alive. He was place on end of life protocol and they stabilized him. Thanksgiving night, he started getting dope sick (we learned this after his death) but called the junkie girlfriend at 2am and told her what to bring. When my mom and I walked in at 730am, he was the same old junkie, paranoid, screaming at everyone. She brought a syringe of meth to ICU and shot it in his hospital IV. He went from stable to having ventricular tachycardia and then he would get shocked. It was violent. He was violent, his death was violent. His heart was shot out from all the drugs. He went thru this cycle of v-tack/shock for about another 32 hours before he had them turn off the pacemaker with a magnet. He immediately went from talking to dead in about 2 minutes and it was brutal to watch. The addiction specialists words here brought me back to that moment with my brothers behavior. Please folks, just stay away from the drugs. Those that do are gambling with their life and it goes far beyond just their life. He’s dead and we’re left to deal with all the trauma. Please just say no to drugs.
Brooks has probably tried to blame his behavior on drug addiction for years, but the justice system finally stopped letting him use that excuse. It would be interesting to see what judges have said over the years about him. Did they repeatedly let him off because he claimed to have a drug problem?
what does something happened in 2007 have to do with what he did in 2021?
If he was on meth during the trial, that would actually explain a lot.
2007
He wasn't on drugs. He was in jail for almost a year before court and then the trial. He was clean so he can't blame drugs.
😂😂😂
Objection objection 2007 is 15 years ago. I'm a former drug addict and Darrell Brooks is evil.
Dang this dude has been around for ages…

@@andrewmcneil Your explanation is laughable. Your English is atrocious and you obviously don't know basic English grammar. You're not a native English speaker. Go back to ESL 101.
Thank you for this podcast.
It seems his head gained a lot of weight over the course of time but his body remained same … akin to SpongeBob
We definitely live in a society at this point
I mean honestly
lmfao
Hope everyone know according to one of his child mothers(the one who testified in the trial) that he was never on meth but just lied to get on the interview for attention
Now he’s like “you actually become the truck, you’re not even human”
I was at the parade, I seen Jackson (the 8 year old) get murdered only feet away from me as I held onto my 2 year old daughter. The screams I heard that evening were unlike anything I've ever heard. This guy is a monster and has zero remorse.
My point of view from his mother and grandmother speaking leads up to Darrell Brooks being a shithead, even threw childhood. And self medicating fits his life up until now. He just finally hit the BIG time, and couldn't talk his way out of this felony. The way he handled this case was all about , HIM, inside his own head, no one saw him do anything wrong. (his thinking), so, he should be a free man.
Boy did he ever hit the big time 🤦🏾♂️...
AFTER he was convicted this video just suddenly resurfaced....? Wow
I saw it during the trial, not in the courtroom but a channel still has it up
What's your point?
It would not have been admissible in court anyway
Point?
Grounds?
Don’t care what he’s “struggled” with.
Only hopes he struggles to stay alive in that cage he will be in the rest of his life.
A Diabolical Narciscistic Sociopath on crystal meth is like throwing gasoline on a burner fire.
What we saw in this trial was a full blown narcissistic on display for the world to see. It's kinda rare to witness this behavior live especially how his narcissism was 100% turned ON every day.
Actually you're incorrect. He was clearly showing signs of antisocial personality disorder which was confirmed by the judge when she did her closing remarks. They have some overlapping Aries but narcissists actually care about what other people think while antisocial personality disorder patients just want to recavic and create chaos they don't really care what other people think
Ok but no drugs were found in his system at the time so.... this has nothing to do with the parade attack
Exactly and there were no mentions of him being under any influence when this happened. They are trying to justify his actions which is highly disrespectful to the victims and their families. Let him rot.
@@queenofawesome2550 This video was uploaded on the first anniversary of Brooks' crimes in Waukesha. Distasteful.
Now let’s make him a Netflix movie, book deals, make him rich and keep nurturing this evil
I’m glad this bug is off the streets. It’s a shame, however, that he had to kill six people to make jail his permanent residence. And he’s still “something vile.”
I wonder if this 20 year old Darrell would have seen a video of what 40 year old Darrell would become, acting a complete fool at court, what 20 year old Darrell would have thought.
Would it have scared him straight, or not. Would he have been shocked and disgusted at himself, or applauding.
Kind of like that movie, A Christmas Carol, where the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future show the old dude what a jack*ss he is (and in that case, it changes him).
