I watched the video (CNN link?)... and was struck by a single notion. Mr. Brooks, similar to the BLM movement in general, completely fails to take responsibility for HIS CHOICES. He CHOSE to commit those prior crimes (which resulted in his imprisonment) but won't take ownership of the consequences of his CHOICES. It's a victimhood mentality, that "the system" is against him. It's an essential lesson all parents must teach their children - take ownership of your choices!
