Moment of Waukesha Killer's arrest caught on video

[Devil Child]

I was under the impression he returned to his residence, incorrect. Looks like after ditching his murder weapon SUV he tried and failed to escape by Uber after using some kind stranger's phone.

Edited to add: NBC using the word "accident" to describe this attack is highly questionable to me.

1. I agree about using "accident".

I don't know if the reports that he suddenly seemed to be aiming for people is accurate but you would think a suspect who drove toward a crowd would stop and abandon the vehicle and take off running. Not plow through people, killing and injuring them.

5. The attacker had ample opportunity to avoid death and destruction

Yet continued on his path. Not an accident, not a chase, just straight up intentional homicide.

2. Do you know this guy?

Absolutely not, and I am going to rethink that whole good Samaritan approach.

You are right. There is nothing accidental about this.

3. The asshole

Knew he was guilty of crimes trying to hide at someones house and pretending to call uber to outfox the cops. Glad that bastard was caught.

Another godamn sociopath.

4. Agreed exboyfil and always smart to be cautious

The homeowner was interacting with evil and didn't know it. Chilling to watch.

Also agreed regarding "accident." Irresponsible wording when dealing with an attack that resulted in intentional homicide charges. 5 dead and 50 plus wounded at last count IIRC.

7. Thanks for the additional info chowder66

The killer was in the good-Samaritan's home for a bit, very close call.

8. "Accident" is a word that's been normalized to mean any vehicle crash.

Lobbies for cars, highways, suburban development, fossil fuel use, and so on have always pushed “accident” to make sure those at fault for the design of our deadly traffic system are not seen as culpable.

9. Yeah I am not sure urban road design is the issue here. Nt

10. No, it's really the idea that anyone behind the wheel deserves to go anywhere he wishes

without thinking too much about people outside the car.

Up until the 1920s people had been in the streets for hundreds of years. Now it’s only at special times like parades.

11. There's no doubt something wrong with this guy, he's not dealing with a full deck

12. That was no accident.

Despite all the excuses I’ve seen people make for this monster.
