Sure Idiots, it was the SUV that was responsible.
Newspaper appeared to blame SUV, not suspect Darrell Brooks, for the deadly attack in Wisconsin
The Washington Post went viral Wednesday night over a tweet suggesting the SUV involved in the Waukesha parade attack was responsible for the massacre.
Darrell Brooks was charged with intentional homicide after driving his SUV through a crowded street commemorating the holiday season, resulting in the deaths of six people ages 8 to 81 and injuring dozens more.
However, a tweet from the Post seemed to place the responsibility on Brooks' vehicle than the career criminal himself.
"Here's what we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy caused by [an] SUV," the paper tweeted.

Critics pummeled the Washington Post on social media for villainizing the SUV.
"Did the SUV drive itself? This headline is a disgrace," Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo, reacted.
"What did they charge the SUV with?" Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller asked.
"Oh, was it autonomous?" Washington Examiner deputy editor Grant Addison wondered.
"It wasn't caused by an SUV; it was caused by the driver of an SUV," Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrison tweeted.
"Hope the SUV has a good lawyer," Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross quipped.
"Blaming guns for shootings and SUVs for truck attacks. At least there’s consistency," Daily Caller correspondent Anders Hagstrom wrote.
"I beg of someone to seriously argue that this isn't deliberate," Tablet Magazine's Noam Blum tweeted.
"It was not caused by an SUV. This was an intentional attack by a terrible person. There's no reason to frame it as an accident at this point nor is there a reason to blame it on anything but the driver," political commentator Josh Jordan responded.
The tweet was deleted Thursday morning and replaced with one that read, "What we know so far on the sequence of events that led to the Waukesha tragedy."
The Post added, "We’ve deleted a previous tweet for this story that included language that was changed after publish."
