Waukesha Christmas parade suspect Darrell Brooks has stripped off in court, in a bizarre series of events

Waukesha Christmas parade suspect Darrell Brooks is accused of killing 6 people and has appeared in court, shirtless.

In a bizarre series of events, the 40-Year-Old is representing himself and consistently disrupted the court proceedings.

That’s when Judge Jennifer Dorow decided to move the defendant to another room to participate via video link, with the ability to mute him.

However, the antics continued as he removed his shirt, putting his back to the camera.

"He took his shirt off as well and I'm also told that he is threatening to throw and break items," Judge Dorow noted. https://t.co/ceGXsVF4yK

He threatened to throw and break items nearby. He then took off his shoe and refused to sit down.

Judge Dorow believes his actions are an attempt at delaying his trial.

Brooks is staring down the barrel at six first degree intentional homicide charges and 61 counts of reckless endangerment.

This could see him handed down a punishment of life behind bars.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the United States.

President Joe Biden signed a bill into law that requires TikTok to find a new owner—or face a ban in the United States.

Over the past several months, Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app.

Lawmakers and security experts have long raised concerns that the Chinese government could tap TikTok’s trove of personal data about millions of U.S. users.

TikTok’s CEO said the bill is disappointing and reiterated that the company has committed to challenge it.

With Threads averaging 28 million daily active users compared to X’s 22 million, Meta’s ambitions to reach a billion users seem within reach despite a slowdown in growth. While X still boasts 550 million monthly active users globally, Threads’ focus on user experience and avoidance of real-time and political content could position it as a formidable competitor moving forward.
