Episode Recap

Timcast IRL episode #415 aired on November 25, 2021, with Tim Pool and co-host Ian Crossland discussing the Waukesha Christmas parade attack and its aftermath. The show featured attorney Andrew Branca, a use of force law expert, who provided legal analysis on the incident and related cases. Tim Pool began by reporting on new evidence suggesting the Waukesha attack was intentional rather than accidental, pointing to social media posts by suspect Daryl Brooks showing support for Black Lives Matter and black nationalism, as well as his history of threatening violence including a bomb threat to a Nevada casino.

The panel also discussed the Ahmaud Arbery case verdict where all three defendants were convicted of murder, with Branca offering legal analysis on citizens arrest laws and self-defense claims. The show touched on online investigations timing the vehicle's speed against police scanner audio and on-scene videos. Pool encouraged viewers to support Timcast through memberships at TimCast.com.
