AOC Targets ‘Excessive Bail’ Day After Suspect Out On Bail Hit 50+ People With Car In Waukesha

"“When prosecutors seek excessive cash bail, it results in increased rates of incarceration — particularly for low-income defendants,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter. “More than 75% of individuals in custody haven’t been convicted of a crime, and are confined in unsafe conditions simply because they cannot afford cash bail. Condemning thousands of individuals to languish in such environments as they await trial is unacceptable.”

"Ocasio-Cortez’s remarks come just one day after a 39-year-old black male was taken into custody by law enforcement officials and charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide after driving over dozens of people in a Christmas parade.

"The suspect “has been charged with or convicted on an array of charges over the past 22 years, including battery, domestic violence, cocaine possession and resisting arrest in several jurisdictions in Wisconsin,” The New York Times reported. “He has served at least two jail sentences and spent years on probation and in court-mandated work-release and anger management programs …”

Earlier this month, the suspect was arrested for allegedly punching his child’s mother in the face and hitting her with his car at a gas station. The criminal complaint from the incident says that “officers observed tire tracks on her left pants leg.”

How dumb can this "birthing person" be?

Six people have died now, a young boy is the latest fatality. He shouldn’t get bail at all. He is a career criminal with a long rap sheet and he was supposed to register as a sex offender in Nevada but didn’t even do that. He’s already had too many chances as it is and then to pull this evil stunt.

I read on the FOX page that the judge made him turn and face the audience at his hearing where the 5 million dollar bail was set. While facing the audience, someone in the courtroom let him know about the 6th dead victim. Apparently Brooks weeped over that. Then one of the local ladies in the back flipped him off. lol

This guy is not going to have it easy in prison, because this was worse than most of them have done.

@JimBeam It was a boy. I had read about a little girl having internal injuries and thought they were talking about her. An 8-year old boy.

Yes, I just heard it a little bit ago. Such a tragedy. I heard one of the locals say he'd never go to a parade, again.

The city is even considering not having parades, anymore.
