   A GoFundMe page aimed at raising $5 million bail for the   
   Wisconsin man accused of plowing his SUV through a Christmas   
   parade in Waukesha has been pulled from the platform.   
      
   Darrell Brooks Jr. was charged with five counts of first-degree   
   intentional homicide following the holiday event on Sunday. Five   
   people were pronounced dead on the scene while a sixth victim, 8-   
   year-old Jackson Sparks, died days later in an area hospital.   
      
   During a court appearance on Tuesday, Brooks was ordered held on   
   $5 million bail — sparking swift backlash given prosecutors   
   previously admitted Brooks was only able to rip through the   
   parade route after being sprung on an “inappropriately low” bond.   
      
   At the time of the parade massacre, Brooks was out on $1,000   
   bail after he was arrested earlier this month for allegedly   
   attempting to run over the mother of his child with his car.   
      
   According to screengrabs first shared by Law Enforcement Today,   
   the bail also spawned a fundraising effort on Brooks’ behalf.   
   Set up by a person going by the name James Norton, the page   
   insisted Brooks was a victim of a “racist” justice system and   
   used hashtags including #RacismIsReal and #BLM.   
      
   “On November 21st, 2021 our dear friend Darrell Brooks was   
   arrested for allegedly driving his car into a parade, as someone   
   who knows Darrell personally I can tell you that he would NEVER   
   do such a thing and I know he is innocent of what he was charged   
   with,” Norton wrote, per the screengrabs.   
      
   “Clearly there is more to the story the media is not telling us   
   and I am seeking to raise the bail so Darrell can be released   
   and speak his truth to his side of the story in this tragic   
   situation that sees another black man behind bars in a purely   
   political and racist trial.”   
      
   The fundraiser organizer went on to write that there is “no   
   excuse for this continued treatment of black Americans by   
   prosecutors around the country.”   
      
   A spokesperson for GoFundMe on Wednesday confirmed to Fox   
   Business that the page has since been removed from the platform.   
   The person attempting to raise money for Brooks has also been   
   banned from using GoFundMe for future fundraisers.   
      
   “Fundraisers with misuse are very rare, and we take all   
   complaints very seriously,” the spokesperson said.   
      
   “Our team works with law enforcement to report issues and   
   assists them in any investigations they deem necessary.”   
      
   The move comes amid controversy for GoFundMe over its previous   
   removal of pages dedicated to raising money for Kyle   
   Rittenhouse, who was recently acquitted of killing two men and   
   wounding a third with an AR-style semi-automatic rifle unrest in   
   Wisconsin last summer. The late-night violence was triggered by   
   the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was   
   shot by a white police officer on Aug. 23, 2020.   
      
   Now that Rittenhouse has been cleared of all violent charges, a   
   spokesperson said money could now be raised on his behalf   
   through the platform.   
      
   “If someone is acquitted of those charges, as Rittenhouse was   
   today, a fundraiser started subsequently for their legal defense   
   and other expenses would not violate this policy,” according to   
   GoFundMe.   
      
   “A fundraiser to pay lawyers, cover legal expenses or to help   
   with ongoing living expenses for a person acquitted of those   
   charges could remain active as long as we determine it is not in   
   violation of any of our other terms and, for example, the   
   purpose is clearly stated and the correct beneficiary is added   
   to the fundraiser.”
