Terror attack in Wisconsin

https://nypost.com/2021/11/21/suv-drives-into-parade-in-wisconsin-possible-shots-fired/

One witness reported that the driver ran over “several elderly women” while firing a weapon from his window.”Right in front of my family, this man drives through the parade hitting as many people as possible while shooting out the window,” a parade attendee tweeted. “He ran over several elderly women who were dancing in the parade and many others please pray for everyone in Waukesha.

Reuters is no doubt well known for publishing fake news. I did a google search, what's stopping you? Being in the period of fog of war and uncertainty about events is not what is meant by fake news.
 
From CNN’s Arlette Saenz

The White House is monitoring the situation in Waukesha, Wisconsin, according to a White House official.

Waukesha Police said more than 20 people were injured after an SUV ran through the city's Christmas parade earlier this evening.

Officials have recovered the suspected vehicle, and they are looking into a person of interest, Waukesha Police Chief Dan Thompson said.

Based on the CNN video and a local TV station video, it's not clear that it was a terrorist attack. The SUV drove past groups of spectators and a police officer who was manning a barricade and past some of the groups in the parade and didn't appear to hit anyone until it reached a place where the entire road was blocked by a marching band and spectators, and appeared to be trying to squeeze between the band and the spectators. The driver could have easily run over a bunch of people well before they actually did run over people.

The headline does not say Terrorist. It says Terror. I think it fits that definition.

"Police have said there were "some fatalities" after a car ploughed into a parade in Wisconsin.

Footage posted online shows a red sports utility vehicle (SUV) driving through a Christmas parade in the city of Waukesha, west of Milwaukee, at around 16:40 local time (22:40 GMT).

Police chief Dan Thompson said it hit more than 20 people including children."


I assume the theprestige will now walk back their fake news claim, and perhaps explain what caused it?
 
“(A relative) lives in Waukesha, a black guy with dreads knocked on her door shortly after the incident at the parade. She wouldn’t let him in and he proceeded to go across the street trying to break into a building. My daughter called 911 with a description and they said they think he was driving the SUV that drove into all the people.”

***

“My friend was approached by the people in the car. One was arrested, other two on the run. They asked to use his phone. 3 African Americans, early 20’s, dreadlocks.”

***

At 4:39 p.m., a police officer could be heard on the radio saying, “There’s a car going westbound approaching the parade course. A red Escape. Black male. I couldn’t stop him. He’s going westbound blowing his horn.”

These are not the Racially or Ethnically Motivated Domestic Violent Extremists Joe Biden, his DHS and his DOJ have been warning us about.

theprestige was saying that the headline labelling this as a terror attack was the fake news, not the actual incident itself, since this is not a claim made in the reporting. However these are from links already provided:

The Guardian:
The investigation was still “very fluid”, he added, and did not know if the incident was terror-related. However, one person of interest was in custody and the vehicle involved had been recovered.

New York Post:
A person of interest was in custody and police have not ruled out terrorism as a motive, according to Police Chief Daniel Thompson.

Independent:
Police chief Dan Thompson said his department had taken one person of interest into custody and seized the vehicle. He said he didn’t yet know if there is any connection to terrorism.

So Matthew Best was not the first person to use that word.
 
I realize that modern technology has made people addicted to rapid news, but maybe it's a better idea to just wait for more information before reacting to things? More will be known tomorrow, and a subset of that will be published. If you can manage to cultivate a little patience you can avoid wasting your own time and possibly looking like an idiot.
 
Isn't there a fallacy that says where 50% of all initial reporting of quickly-developing stories is completely wrong?
 
Ziggurat said:
You have that backwards. Matthew went with an “answers now!!!!!!!” headline that he couldn’t back up, and theprestige called him on it.

Yeah, no. That is not how I see it at all. You are quite simply, wrong!

"Police are responding to a mass casualty incident in Waukesha, Wisconsin after a car plowed into a crowd of people during a holiday parade. "

That was the news theprestige called "Fake News" but it is in fact what happened. If he thought the headline was wrong. he should have said "Fake Headline"


"Fake News" is a Trumpism... its no surprise to see theprestige using it, and therefore no surprise to see you covering for him...

That's still not what fake news is. The event did happen, and it was called a terror attack.

The excerpts I posted make it clear that it is unknown at this time whether it was a terror attack or not. It might be, it might not. We'll have to wait and see whether the "person of interest" is charged with terrorist activity.
 
As bad as the initial reports seemed...it is worse. 5 dead, 40 injured.
Likely more so by tomorrow...

from:
@cityofwaukesha
"At this time, we can confirm that 5 people are deceased and over 40 are injured. However, these numbers may change as we collect additional information. Many people have self-transported to area hospitals. The Police Department has the person of interest in custody."

Even if reports he was fleeing another crime are true, why would anyone try to get away by choosing a main street that was barricaded and had crowds of people? Just so utterly senseless. :mad:

Darrell Brooks Junior's ID was found in the red Ford Escape. It appears Mr. Brooks is an aspiring rapper who goes by the name "MathBoi Fly".

He has a rap video on YouTube where he can be seen standing in front of a red Ford Escape along with some dude pointing an Uzi at the camera.

NBC is reporting that he was fleeing the scene of a stabbing when he encountered the parade.
“Several LE sources say preliminary: Wisconsin incident appears to be vehicle fleeing a separate crime scene (stabbing) when it plowed into parade. One person in custody. Investigation ongoing but so far no initial link to terror or the recent Rittenhouse verdict w/@tom_winter,” NBC reporter Jonathan Dienst wrote on Twitter.
