I am not convinced Brooks woke up that morning planning to hit people at the parade.
The stabbing was just off the parade route. 911 had been called, but there wasn't enough time for the police to respond before having to divert to the parade. So he wasn't being chased but had a reasonable assumption that he would be shortly.
Brooks went south after the stabbing, only way out was Main St without turning around and going back past the scene of the stabbing.
Now what went through his mind between breaking through the barricade and deciding to speed up and hit a bunch of people… who knows. I could see that in that instance he made up his mind to be a terrorist because of hate.
Literally none of that matters. He saw people in the street and continued on until he ran people over.
Stop being an apologist.
The way I see it is that after the stabbing he realized that he was likely going away again and switched into "nothing left to lose" mode. I think you can see a bit of that in some of his vehicle's movements - there's an "f it" moment after he slows down where he then mashes the accelerator and plows through the dancing grannies.
Regardless whether he acted as an opportunist terrorist or planned the attack in advance - his ideology of hate was developed beforehand, his release on bail was a function of Democrat policy, and MSM spin about Rittenhouse may well have been material in his decision to attack.
