Judge Allows Waukesha Parade Massacre Suspect to Represent Himself

This video covered this story more in 13 minutes than the entire media has since this crime took place.

[@blakebarone1809]

Good point. You go to any shows on the recent tour??

[@skankhunt3624]

It's not like the media has some secret powers that we don't bud, when they get the information, they relay it out.

[@sb75ification]

Any guesses why?

Wrong decision by the judge which cost her her Supreme Court seat!

[@maryfitzpatrick3252]

He is so smart he repeatedly interrupts the judge. And insults her education level 😮

[@alarger972]

Jesus F'in Christ he didn't even last 10 seconds without a lawyer before proving just how incompetent he was.

[@18mvo]

He's gonna embarrass himself even more, eh?

[@carlitosortiz2870]

why should he be worried about being embarrassed? Do you know what he's being charged with?

[@justhuman24]

Best thing to happen to this case. Iam now assured justice will be done since brooks is representing himself.

[@brbrknndy]

Is it just me or are the prosecutors putting their hands to their mouths to stifle laughter.

[@tokenroach9835]

I've been VERY curious as to what these lawyer's went through and what their thoughts before, during and after dealing with him, ❓ My belief is the reason he wanted to defend himself is as we've seen, being a narcissist he has to be heard and have control, 💯 otherwise his lawyer's told him if he continued these outbursts, he would not only be shackled, but he would be muzzled, as a narcissist that would not work, so here we are FINALLY JUSTICE and listen for a moment, SILENCE, 💯⚖️⚖️⚖️💯

[@haineshisway]

This jerk is going to turn this thing into a circus and I hope they just throw him in jail and throw away the key. Enough already. He's about as competent as drool.

She should have never let him defend himself.

He always seemed proud of his child like behavior. He simply just doesn't agree with anyone and always has to be right no matter what...In my eyes he's an over grown spoiled child that failed to launch. He clearly was never made to be accountable for his actions even by his own mother, she let him get so out of control that she herself was afraid of him herself.He is exactly where he should be..

[@mra2438]

The grins on the prosecutors faces says it all.

[@Jason-fv4rg]

Demands to represent himself. Immediately begins making excuses for why he can't represent himself.

[@Lizzy0207]

no wonder his attorneys want yo quit

[@sallywalden8659]

This poor lady,she definitely deserves a very long vacation,thank God he'll be put away for life!!

[@alittlewheiser521]

Because of the way he’s acting I HOPE the trial isn’t televised. He wants the attention.

[@philiphatfield5666]

Notice the childish way he moves in the chair----constantly swiveling. This is a clear sign that Darrell Brooks is a very immature man.

[@immaleaf4964]

'I don't believe you have a Ph.D. your honor.' Well....no...she'd have a J.D. because that's what you get in law. Woo boy, him being allowed to talk during the trial was a bad decision

[@Caroline06Jones]

You know he is guilty, give him the chair! Wasting time and money!

[@qw7154]

He said ""that has no REVADENCY"" LOL

[@_labacanitaz]

He really thinks him saying "I don't understand" , which he clearly , obviously does. He thinks saying I don't understand will be his "get out an appeal" card and say he wasnt aware or knew how any of this worked. Dude stop. It's a weak and pathetic plan and you're not NEARLY as clever as you love to think you are 🙄

[@bucc5207]

The trial will turn into a series of Brooks trying to present his sov nonsense, and the judge shutting him down and holding him to court rules and procedures and requiring him to stick to relevant information. The way she refused to indulge him and simply repeated "Are you prepared?" shows how it will go. The judge might find him in contempt, but so what? He'll spend the rest of his life in prison anyway. You got what you asked for Brooks. Hope you like it.

[@cortneyrens]

I do like how the judge is not taking his crap and shutting his nonsense down right away, instead of talking/repeating/re-explaining and indulging this narcissist attention seeker. The victims families should be hopefully spared of having to hear too much of his BS (even though I’m sure the trial is gonna be INSANE and a circus....)

[@africacarey]

Sovereign citizens love about this subject matter jurisdiction it's not anything difficult but it's something they always go back to they can't let that go
