Man who used axe to kill his parents and two siblings set free under new policies signed by Tim Walz
The brutal murder of a family by a teenager in 1988 led to his being sentenced to die in prison, but new Democratic policies have led to the murderer being set free.
David Francis Brom, now 54 years old, used an axe to kill his 41-year-old mother, 41-year-old father, 13-year-old sister, and 11-year-old brother when he was only 16 years old.
‘Some crimes are so horrific that real accountability, serving the entire sentence, should be the only option. Early release after four brutal murders is not justice.’
Although Brom was given three consecutive life sentences in 1989, he has been paroled after serving only 36 years.
Republican Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth excoriated Democrats for passing legislation in 2023 that led to Brom’s early release. The law signed by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz eased sentences for those convicted of crimes committed while they were minors.
“The parole of a convicted murderer, who committed a crime so brutal that he received three consecutive life sentences as punishment, is absolutely unacceptable, and it is the direct result of a law passed by Democrats and signed by Governor Walz in 2023,” she wrote.
“The early release of violent offenders makes our communities less safe, and insults the memory of their victims,” Demuth added. “Some crimes are so horrific that real accountability, serving the entire sentence, should be the only option. Early release after four brutal murders is not justice.”
The Minnesota Supervised Release Board voted 5 to 1 to grant him parole on Tuesday, but he has been on work release since last year.
“This case is especially painful for our community, which still remembers the trauma of those horrific events. I’ve heard from constituents who are shocked that such a brutal act no longer warrants permanent removal from society under current law,” Republican state Rep. Duane Quam said.
“Minnesota must revisit this misguided policy. Public safety and justice for victims must remain the foundation of our legal system,” he continued.

Police said they found the bodies at the Rochester home with gashes to their heads and upper bodies, and they found a bloody axe in the basement of the home. They initially believed David Brom had been abducted before learning from a witness that he had confessed to killing his family over an argument with his father.
Brom told a parole board that he had a job waiting for him once released from prison.

CCP playbook: Peter Schweizer reveals China’s plot to vote in US elections
Investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, author of “The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon,” knows the real cost of immigration — and just how China and other world powers are using it to subvert the United States.
“We’ve had this great debate in our country — an important one — about immigration as it relates to jobs, violence in our streets, American culture — hugely important, but I think we’re missing the larger picture, which is the weaponization of immigration,” Schweizer tells BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
“And what do I mean by that? Foreign actors — that includes the government of China, the government of Mexico, the Muslim Brotherhood — see immigration as a weapon that they can deploy against the United States,” he says.
“And so when people come from overseas, they certainly bring themselves, their family, they bring their culture, but they also often bring political networks. And these are political networks that are antithetical to the United States. So these foreign powers view immigration very differently than we do,” he continues.
While China, Mexico, and the Muslim Brotherhood are all vastly different in their beliefs and culture, Schweizer explains that they all have one thing in common.
“They’re all united in this sense that immigration is a means to subvert the United States. Those are not my words. I actually quote these people as saying that themselves,” Schweizer tells Wheeler.
And China’s plan to subvert the United States is one of the most insidious.
“The Chinese government says that every year for the past 13 years, every single year, roughly 100,000 Chinese babies have been born in the United States. That’s the Chinese government estimate,” he explains.
“So do the math. That’s 1 million Chinese babies that were born in the United States, who are taken back to China by their parents, raised in the CCP system. And by the way, when they turn 18, they’re going to be able to vote in our elections. They’re U.S. citizens. They’re going to be able to donate to political campaigns. They’re going to be able to apply for sensitive government jobs,” he continues.
“And let’s remember that 2016 presidential election — Trump, Hillary Clinton — it was settled by like 72,000 votes,” he says. “So this is a massive … vulnerability.”
