Waukesha DA ‘Guaranteed’ His Policy Would Kill Someone Someday, And It Did

The Federalist reports DA Who Let Waukesha Suspect Out On Bail ‘Guaranteed’ His Policies Would Kill Someone Someday

The Milwaukee district attorney who let the Waukesha, Wisconsin, suspect out on bail days before he allegedly used his red SUV to mow down dozens of people and kill six at the city’s annual Christmas parade is a pro-criminal-release leftist who said it was “guaranteed” someone he let off easy would kill someone someday.

“Is there going to be an individual I divert, or I put into [a] treatment program, who’s going to go out and kill somebody?” Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm flippantly admitted to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in 2007. “You bet. Guaranteed. It’s guaranteed to happen. It does not invalidate the overall approach.”

The moral burden of that reality, however, was not enough to dissuade him from adopting a progressive approach to eliminating or reducing bail for some criminal offenders, including Darrell E. Brooks Jr., who was charged with murder this week after he plowed over performers and bystanders at the parade on Sunday afternoon.

Brooks had just been recently charged on Nov. 5 with two felonies and three misdemeanors after a domestic violence incident where he also reportedly resisted a police officer. Despite having been charged with bail jumping, the 39-year-old, who has a lengthy track record of violent crimes dating back to 1999, was allowed to post a $1,000 cash bond and leave jail.

It was under the leadership of Chisholm, a self-proclaimed progressive, that Brooks walked free. Chisholm, however, isn’t ready to take responsibility for his criminal justice ideology, which contributed to the tragedy in Waukesha.

Five Dead Because of Bail Reform

Woke Justice

This is totally insane. 

It’s no wonder people are revolted by Woke “Justice”.

You can see the revolt in recent polls of support for Democrats.

The Maryland gubernatorial election is a related example of the spreading revolt against insane Woke policies.

Thanks for Tuning In!

This was not a bail reform issue. This was a stupid judge and prosecutor. This violent offender should have been held in jail.

Woke anything is insane. And stupid. And nothing but.
But so is locking people up indefinitely without proper cause AND process.
We live in an era where the Newspeakers have debased “domestic disturbance” to mean nothing more, whatsoever, than “some ambulance chaser hopes to get the ever totalitarian state’s help to rob someone.” Which doesn’t necessarily mean “domestic disturbance” cannot refer to something other than that. But mostly, it no longer does. Hence, some schlub being harassed for something so effectively undefined, does not come even close to pass muster in anything resembling a free and proper society.
10,000 people die in the US every day. +-5, in an entirely random incident, is largely a great big whatever. The fact that these particular ones died in a more TeeVee ratings friendly and sensationalistic manner than some others, doesn’t change that. Even a 9/11 scale incident, while a noticeable blip in the daystats, drops below the noisefloor rather quickly as weeks and months went by. 
What does not drop below the noisefloor, is the number of people dying prematurely due to poor nutrition, lack of health care access, homelessness, inability to make a living etc. All resulting directly from central banking robbing people. And from arbitrary “laws” of a totalitarian state owned and ran by rank retards doing exactly the same. The number of Americans dying s a result of umpteen trillion being stole from productive people to be spent on the idiot fest referred to as the “9/11 response,” or “war on terror” or whatever illiterate idiots fancy calling it, outnumber the deaths in those falling buildings by orders of magnitude. Same story with “more policing”, “more jails,” “domestic disturbance laws” ambulance chasers making up ever more dumb excuses for inserting themselves into the lives of their superiors etc., etc.
I have no particular insight into this guy’s history, and no particular interest in bothering to find out. But unless whatever he did would warrant being “held” indefinitely in the general whereabouts of what is now Cheyenne, WY; back when Jefferson remained popmpous-clown-in-chief; or at a minimum would warrant a similar action in a Taliban Sharia court, it’s just nonsense. Like all else in “woke” America, the current arbitrariness which the newspeakers insist on bombastically calling “The Law,” no longer has any a priori validity at all, it’s been debased so badly. This dude “may” have done something which would warrant keeping him locked up. Or he may not. Since Jefferson’s America is long gone, and no Taliban judge ever weighed in, it’s simply an unknown. And civilized countries don’t lock people up based on unknowns.
Also, random incidents is generally not something limited, hence legitimate, government can do much about. That follows pretty directly from the definitions of random and limited/legitimate. It’s the systemic injustices which needs fixing. But of course, in wokeville, “we the dumb and clueless” instead insist on pursuing the exact opposite. What else is new?

“Insane Woke polices are spreading and so is the backlash against them.”
California D.A.’s Boudin and Gascon are under recall efforts, but it seems things are not yet bad enough in L.A. County for it to make it to the ballot box. So far Walgreen’s hasn’t been closing any stores here, yet.

No bankers were prosecuted for their crimes during the housing bubble. William Black, who prosecuted a thousand in the wake of the Savings and Loan Scandal, said the housing scandal was 70 times bigger.
The last time i was in for jury duty, the orientation judge said, you know why we prosecute someone for stealing an apple? Why not make it five apples? Because we have the rule of law.
Actually, we have the rule of privilege.

The battle cry “go woke or go broke” may morph into “go woke go broke” .  The invisible hand is speaking. And that my friends is the battle.

Wasn’t the VIRGINIA, not Maryland, gubernatorial election the message sent to the woke crowd?

 The Maryland gubernatorial election is scheduled for November 2022.

It’s not that simple, keeping people in jail because they’ve been arrested and can’t afford bail has resulted in tens of thousands of innocent people pleading guilty because that’s the only plausible way forward.   But letting violent people out doesn’t seem like a great idea either, and it is sure to get you booted out of office in the next election when something like this happens.

Handcuffed man outside San Francisco Safeways, 7:00 am, Sunday, to two arresting security guards:
“You’re doing it all wrong!
You are not supposed to arrest me! You are not supposed to arrest me!!!
I put the beer down.  I put the beer down and you are  supposed to let me go!! I want to speak to your superior. You are supposed to let me go!!!
I don’t even like beer.”

Let’s hope Trump doesn’t run again in 2024. He’s the one candidate that could mobilize voters to vote for Biden again.

Why we moved 4 months ago to the prairie.  Don’t you hate it when a herd of antelope is on the bike path Mish?  Do you have antelope in Utah?  I will make more comments on the demise of the cities as time progresses.

We moved to Montana 25 years ago from Atlanta. I was wonderful and a little piece of Heaven until 2020. Then the hordes of Work-From-Homers started showing up with too much money and no common sense. Home prices in my area doubled in two years. A place I wouldn’t put my dogs in is going for $400,000 when it wasn’t worth $75,000 three years ago. No camping spots available. Trashed wilderness. Rude drivers and shoppers. Now, local workers can’t find affordable housing. Every business has “help wanted” signs. Paradise is no more. I dread the next “variant” and next summer. Compliments of our Dear Leaders and the FED’s printing press. I hope your town is surviving better.
