This year the Waukesha Christmas Parade went beautifully. The people of this Wisconsin community could have cancelled, given the circumstances, but instead called on their virtues of resilience and courage.
Why did the annual parade require more resilience and courage than usual? Because a year ago, six people died in this celebration. A murderer used his vehicle to slam down random victims. You could hardly imagine a more incongruous setting than a Christmas event for such a crime.
A child and five adults died last year, while dozens more were injured. The murderer was convicted in October of first-degree homicide and sentenced to life in prison.
