I just can't get over the Waukesha parade massacre

43. How does premeditation work, legally?

I think everyone agrees this was no accident in that he knew what he was doing and what would happen. And, yes, he intended to hit them. It's not like he thought he could weave through the crowd.

I think the part that is unknown is whether or not it was premeditated. Did he leave the initial crime scene with the intent of causing more harm? Was he wanting to lash out at a specific group of people? Or was it a horrific, impulsive, violent massacre with no premeditation beyond that decision to escape the initial crime scene and then drive through the crowd once he got there?

I believe authorities said it's not terrorism, which indicates to me little premeditation.

But what goes against him is that he does have a history of this specific violent act, so I wonder how impulsive it was?

I haven't seen anyone defend him. People are just wondering how planned and targeted it may have been.
