Waukesha Christmas parade rampage driver feels demonized

In first interview from jail, suspect accused of killing 6 in Wisconsin parade rampage says he feels ‘demonized’

Darrell Brooks Jr. had spent 10 days locked up in the Waukesha County Jail after allegedly plowing through a crowd of people during a Wisconsin Christmas parade, killing six and injuring dozens more.

As Brooks was held in jail, he was causing a whirlwind outside its walls. His name and mug shot were beamed to screens across the country. A court official called the accusations against him “shocking” and said his criminal record was “extraordinary.” One of his ex-girlfriends described what he allegedly did as “a monstrous act … completely irredeemable.”

On Wednesday, Brooks broke his silence.

“I just feel like I’m being [made out to be a] monster — demonized” and “dehumanized,” he told Fox News Digital.

Waukesha Christmas parade suspect: I'm being treated like a 'monster'

MILWAUKEE — In his first jailhouse interview since being taken into custody, Darrell Brooks Jr. said he believes he is being "demonized" and treated like a "monster" after police say he mowed down at least 60 people, killing six, during the Waukesha Christmas parade last month.

If the shoe fits . . .

It is reminiscent of "we were just trying to do a coup and overturn a peaceful election and the police were mean to us!"

    Too bad mass media fawns over him like the Kardashians. Murder earns celebrity status, great for all the other crazies to know, eh?

    Well, O.J. made the Kardashians famous.

    He was a pretty classy dresser, too. Remember those gloves?
