Record of Waukesha massacre suspect's $1,000 bail hearing missing
2021-12-02
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The early November bail hearing of Darrell Brooks
...racist would-be rapper, actual wife beater and career criminal, responsible for the Waukesha Christmas parade massacre...
, the man who prosecutors say plowed his car into the Waukesha Christmas parade on November 21, is reportedly gone from records due to "technical issues."
Technically, somebody deleted it. Wonder who it coulda been?
On November 5, just 16 days before prosecutors say Brooks killed 6 and injured more than 60, Court Commissioner Cedric Cornwall set his bail at an "inappropriately low" amount of $1,000 in a court hearing that has been lost to time, Fox 6 has learned.

When Fox 6 Investigators asked for a record of that November 5 bail hearing, they were told by a court commissioner that "there are no recordings" due to "technical issues."

"Well, it's very frustrating," said State Rep. Scott Allen, Waukesha. "It's sort of unbelievable in many respects."
Yeah. Epstein committed suicide too.
Allen noted that hearings like this are too important to lose.

"There ought to be some built-in redundancies when it comes to protecting the public," said Allen.
There are routinely in any honestly run operation.
Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
rules state that all court hearings should be recorded word-for-word by a certified court reporter or a digital audio recording device.

Jackie Rupnow, past president of the Wisconsin Court Reporters Association, said they had warned the Supreme Court two years ago that these recordings should be more closely monitored by trained professionals, and the Supreme Court ignored the warning.

"We saw this coming," said Rupnow.

"There are instances where it happens," Rupnow added. "Unfortunately, it was just a matter of time before something like this was going to happen."

Nuts!

The 'court commissioner' is a lying liar, and that is the truth!

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”

#5  Speaking as a former ink-stained wretch. All news-gathering organizations have to maintain cordial relations with the people they go to for information. You just won't find them cracking down very hard on anyone at the courthouse or police station. Because shortly after they do that, information from those places gets difficult to obtain.

That doesn't make it right, but there it is.

#4  Original article written by Brian Polcyn at Fox6 in Milwaukee. Post Millennial article written by Hannah Nightingale. Apparently neither reporter pursued the questioning any further after a court administrator informed them of a "technical issue".

Well, there could be all kinds of technical issues. It's disturbing to me that the reporters did not ask for specifics about the exact nature of this "issue". They let the "court administrator" off the hook too easily...way in the heck too easily. Reporters should be more aggressive in their pursuit of pertinent facts in cases like this. What was the "court administrator's" name? How did he or she or it get that gig? Is an elected official in charge of that department or some appointed bureaucrat and, if an appointed bureaucrat, who made the appointment? Voters want to know. Was it a computer problem? What kind of computer? You're telling me they still use Windows 98? C'mon, make them sweat. Dig!

Reporters these days are lazy, stupid, crooked, biased as hell and the articles they produce are insufficient for an informed public.

#3  ^ Of course, it won't. The clerk who filed it went and "lost it" because he/she/it knew they were on the hook to be the scapegoat or were paid by the person who knew they were going to be on the hook. That's how it has always worked. It's nothing new.

attack OR massacre

...and you get zero stories or even mentions results in the last 7 days. Prior to that was a Nov. 25 update to their anchor story published Nov. 22.

These are the same assholes who have run literally thousands of stories in the past 18 months pushing rayciss-rayciss-rayciss. Now that we have a genuine racist massacre, the Times is silent.

F--k these liars.
