However, someone by the name of James Norton set up a GoFundMe for him.

Norton insisted “our dear friend” Brooks would never do such a thing.

They claim that Brooks is a victim of a “racist” justice system.

However, Brooks has a criminal history going back to 1992.

In 2006, he was convicted of raping and impregnating a 15-year-old girl.
