Darrell Brooks shared pro-Hitler memes, called for violence against white people
The ex-con charged over the deaths of six people at a Wisconsin Christmas parade shared social media posts calling for violence against white people — and suggesting “Hitler was right” for killing Jews.
Darrell Brooks Jr. — who has a decades-long rap sheet — shared a series of disturbing memes and messages on social media, most of which have been deleted since his arrest for Sunday’s deadly carnage.
They included numerous posts attacking cops, comparing them to Ku Klux Klan members and calling them “violent street gangs” — as well as calling for violence toward white people, according to screenshots.
“LEARNED ND TAUGHT BEHAVIOR!!” he wrote on June 9 last year amid the violent upheaval over George Floyd’s murder by a Minnesota cop, according to a screenshot shared by the Daily Mail.
“So when we start bakk knokkin white people TF out ion wanna hear it…the old white ppl 2, KNOKK DEM TF OUT!! PERIOD,” he wrote under his rap name, MathBoi Fly, along with a middle-finger emoji.
Police have yet to announce a motive for Sunday’s carnage, but all six who died — including an 8-year-old boy — were white.
In 2015, he also shared a disturbing anti-Semitic meme that appeared to align with the beliefs of the Black Hebrew Israelites, according to another screenshot shared by the Daily Mail.
Titled “Hitler knew who the real Jews were!,” it shares the widely debunked claim that the Nazi maniac had warned that his genocide was partly driven because he knew “the negros … are the true hebrews.”
It suggests World War 3 would start when people “learn Hitler was right” and “did the world a favor by killing” Jews.
There is no sourcing on the meme, and a Reuters investigation has made clear that there is no reason to suggest the warning was made by Hitler, who saw black people as a threat to the purity of the Germanic race.
In his rap songs, Brooks also bragged that he was a “terrorist” and a “killer in the city,” according to the Sun.
Brooks is charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide, with a sixth expected to be added soon following the death of Jackson Sparks, 8, who had been in critical condition after the attack.
Each homicide count carries a potential sentence of life without parole.
Given the seriousness of his crime — which occurred after he was cut loose on “inappropriately low” bail in an unrelated case — he was held on $5 million bail.
