To understand this thread, it helps to know two things about me:
1.I had five ancestors on the Mayflower.
2.As a former museum curator, I’m very aware of the ways in which we “curate” history—choosing which facts to preserve and glorify, and which to overlook or cast away.

Holding the community of Waukesha in my thoughts and heart today, including the first victim: the woman Mr Brooks has apparently been abusing for some time. Last night there was a knife involved. The cops didn't go. Domestic abuse is a predictor of mass murder. Take it seriously.
This whole article leaves me sad & smh. But Mr Brooks ran over a woman Nov 5, put her in hospital, made bail Friday, there was a domestic disturbance involving a knife, and: "police did not respond to that scene before they immediately went to the parade" bit.ly/3HI6WvH
