Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@RepAOC) November 22, 2021Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s remarks come just one day after a 39-year-old black male was taken into custody by law enforcement officials and charged\u00a0with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide after\u00a0driving\u00a0over dozens of people in a Christmas parade.\u201cA lone subject intentionally drove his maroon SUV through barricades into a crowd of people that was celebrating the Waukesha Christmas Parade which resulted in killing five individuals and injuring 48 additional individuals,\u201d Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson said at a press conference. \u201cI just received information that two of the 48 are children and they\u2019re in critical condition.\u201dThe suspect, whom The Daily Wire is not naming due to\u00a0company policy\u00a0on not publishing names and photographs of alleged mass murderers, has a lengthy criminal history that spans decades.The suspect \u201chas 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,\u201d The New York Times\u00a0reported. \u201cHe has served at least two jail sentences and spent years on probation and in court-mandated work-release and anger management programs \u2026\u201dEarlier this month, the suspect was arrested for allegedly punching his child\u2019s mother in the face and hitting her with his car at a gas station. The criminal complaint from the incident\u00a0says\u00a0that \u201cofficers observed tire tracks on her left pants leg.\u201dThe suspect was later released on $1,000 bail, which the Milwaukee Co. District Attorney said in statement today was \u201cinappropriately low in light of the nature of the recent charges and the pending charges\u201d against the suspect. \u201cThe bail recommendation in this case is not consistent with the approach of the Milwaukee County District Attorney\u2019s Office toward matters involving violent crime, nor was it consistent with the risk assessment of the defendant prior to setting of bail,\u201d the statement added.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
