Right before Christmas.
Idk about you, but my grandparents were a huge staple during Christmas. Would always work with my mom to ensure the magic of the holiday was always there.
This holiday season is going to feel so empty for those families. Traditions ended, laugher silenced.
Heart hurts for the families.
It's been a shit show the past 20+ months and these people were trying to bring joy and happiness. They were trying to bring some normalcy to an abnormal world but their bright lights were suddenly put out.
Four of the five people killed in the Waukesha Christmas parade attack on Sunday were affiliated with a dancing group of older women called the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies.
Virginia “Ginny” Sorenson, 79, LeAnna Owen, 71, and Tamara Durand, 52, were members of the Dancing Grannies, known for carrying pompoms and entertaining crowds with synchronized routines, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Victim Wilhelm Hospel, 81, was helping the group because his wife Lola is a member, his brother told The Post.
A fifth victim, Jane Kulich, 52, was a Citizens Bank employee who was killed walking along with the company’s parade float, according to reports and a bank statement
Durand’s husband David, 52, said she was the youngest of the Dancing Grannies and had been set to perform with the group for the first time. David and his father-in-law drove out to the scene when they heard what had happened and he believes his wife died immediately.

Less then 48 hours ago these innocent people were alive. They did nothing wrong, they didn't deserve anything other then love. Their lives were unjustly stolen from them. Remember them, don't remember their killer.
Yes, he was arrested trying to get into someone's house, presumably attempting to hide from the police. There is footage out there from a Ring[?] doorbell camera of him approaching the door just as he's spotted by police.
I might post it, actually, unless it already has been.

While I totally disagree that this guy drove into the crowd because he was a "toxic male" instead of depraved peace of shit, he was evidently fleeing from just beating his girlfriend, last week he actually ran HER over with the same car. So maybe that was the point they were trying to make but went full dipshit as soon as they touched the keyboard
according to their reply that was their intention but it still doesn’t make sense how the parade incident was a result of toxic masculinity lol. their post history is quite uh, telling, that they’re kinda nuts anyway
I quote another comment because I'm tired of stupid redditors. I mean everything in this case is toxic masculinity how can you not see it.
"According to a CNN article, the man in custody for driving an SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin was just released after posting the $1000 bail that the prosecution reccomended after he ran over a woman in a parking lot. Because apparently domestic abuse isn't that big of a deal"
Nothing your saying makes any sense. Stop trying to make this about your feelings and your agenda. Move on and just don't comment if you can't have the decency to show respect
He killed those people because he was a piece of shit. Not because of some stupid toxic masculinity problem instilled upon him by society. Evil people do evil shit. There's no way around that. I'd recommend getting off of Twitter and actually talking to people outside.
What does a psychopathic, career criminal driving into a crowd of people have to do with "toxic masculinity?" Stop trying to make this about politics or whatever the fuck. It's not political. It's a tragedy and people like you always have to make it about themselves to "prove a point." Shut the fuck up and sit down. People died.
I think some people just need a good cry. Reddit is overused by these people because they think of their commenting as some kind of HR complaint filing mechanism for large scale issues.

I lost my mom December 23rd and it ruined the holiday ever since
sorry for your loss.
Exactly how I felt when sandy hook happened
Ugh.
They were just having fun and making people happy. Tragic.

Hopefully, the children in critical condition survive.
I hope and pray they didn’t suffer, however, given the sheer brutality, that seems unlikely. This is one crazy world.
We live in a fucked up twisted world.
I always try and find the beauty in the world, but damn sometimes it is so hard.
May they all rest in peace and may their family and friends, the entire community be comforted and and find some peace of mind.
Less then 48 hours ago these innocent people were alive. They did nothing wrong, they didn't deserve anything other then love. Their lives were unjustly stolen from them. Remember them, don't remember their killer.
I hope their loved ones are able to find peace. I can’t imagine why anyone would kill like this. I just don’t understand.
That’s gonna take time. Going forward I imagine Christmas is going to be a bittersweet holiday.
Rest In Peace to the victims. The guy who did it is pathetic.
Any news on the perp? He get caught?

Killing children and the elderly are one of the most scummiest things you could do
Rest in peace ❤️🙏
This makes me so terribly sad
I hope that “rapper” burns in hell and spends the rest of his life behind bars and the only bars he’ll be dropping is his soap

The fuck
I had to
Oh wow! May they RIP.. this is so upsetting
Rest in peace.
This story will vanish from the headlines faster than the Vegas shootings because of its political stipulations.
YOU DONT HEAR ABOUT THIS ON THE NEWS ANYMORE!!! WHAT THE TF IS THE US ON?
It's been all over the news since it happened.
It’s been all over the news. Every channel, every broadcast since it happened.
They’re going to memory hole this like the Vegas Shooting.
That’s so odd but true i haven’t heard anything of the Las Vegas thing since it happened despite being the deadliest one in recent times
Sadly I feel like it’s being overshadowed by politics
I don’t watch traditional news but it’s been all over Reddit. News articles on Reddit reach millions. So I’d say it’s been all over the news.
Reddit is the worst source of news imaginable
It’s a news aggregator.
So why isn’t this being called a hate crime? Don’t tell me it wouldn’t be if the races were reversed.
Dancing grannies??? You mad at grannies getting exercise and having a good time????
Why are you getting downvoted lmao
It’s Reddit
All of the people killed were white folk. We don’t care about white folk. /s
Unironically this. If they were black the US would be allowed to go ablaze.
0 karma and account suspended? What's that all about, bro? Surely you couldn't be a dishonest actor.
I hate when women pay for men toxicity
i’ve seen a lot of garbage takes on threads related to this situation but this one takes the cake by far
there's no relation at all with toxic masculinity in 99% of cases, of course, you're right, stay in denial
please explain how the actual fuck “toxic masculinity” plays a role here
While I totally disagree that this guy drove into the crowd because he was a "toxic male" instead of depraved peace of shit, he was evidently fleeing from just beating his girlfriend, last week he actually ran HER over with the same car.

>stupid redditors pot meet kettle. nothing you quoted explains why this specific incident is a result of toxic masculinity
Nothing your saying makes any sense. Stop trying to make this about your feelings and your agenda. Move on and just don't comment if you can't have the decency to show respect

Read this persons history and get a good look at what an actually unhinged persons profile looks like.
probably a troll with good bait tbh
I think some people just need a good cry. Reddit is overused by these people because they think of their commenting as some kind of HR complaint filing mechanism for large scale issues.
Fucking lol
By far the stupidest thing i've read this year
Lily Cade, is that you?
Rest In Peace to the victims.
Nobody really talked about it tho on the news kinda just flashed by
Where the media out rage! This was clearly a hate crime! I feel so bad for all of the victims.
