I agree with everything in your post! Thank you! We, the citizens of our country must stand up against this corrupt usurper of our democracy. Resist, fight! Stop this blatant lawless criminal!!
Indivisible Rapid Response Call / Tonight - ICE Execution of Renee Nicole Good
Per Indivisible - About this event: Join us Thursday, January 8th, at 8:00 pm ET / 5:00 pm PT to discuss the killing by ICE in Minneapolis and their lawlessness and harm in communities across the country.
We will talk with local and national leaders and provide concrete next steps on how you can take action.
There actually IS a video of the run up to the shooting. It shows Good beckoning a car to pass in front of her, which it does, and then doing the same for the ICE car. Instead, we all have seen what happens next.
Even if she was blocking the street, ICE has ZIP authority to deal with traffic violations.
As I've said on other sites, I'm incredibly grateful to those who are able to document these heinous act and present evidence that ICE lackeys are totally out of control. Though I hope there are no more such debacles, I hope also that bystanders will be able to record and show the truth.
This is a dark moment indeed. When you think there must be some line our GOP MN U.S. House representatives won’t cross, each of them do it every time, like they are dead inside, loyal to Trump, no matter what. They echoed all of the lies again yesterday and today. It’s becoming almost impossible to maintain friendships with people who support them or Trump.
Excellent report, Alexander. It is well documented and thorough. It wrenches my heart and mind to think this country has become Russia2. TDS2 is a scary, maniacal, murderous, Mob boss! Time for him to be removed!
Russia ‘crushing dissent at home and terrorizing civilians’ … Trump seems to have taken this as a template — is he doing this by plan, or is he just winging it?
Either way he’s botching it & reminding us that “everything Trump touches, dies.”
In WW2, the SS, Gestapo, and “quick action” units did not restrain or police themselves !! They were the law !
Like them, We are a now a fascist, totalitarian regime my beloved United States, its Constitution and Bill of Rights exist in name only, a mirage of what was. Our dark reality.
Like so many moments we’ve witnessed over the past decades, I always try to put myself into the scene with the victims. It’s a an exercise that often keeps me awake at night, as now.
What was Ms Good doing there? No one seems sure, but let’s assume for the moment that she was there intending to be a witness. She wasn’t armed. She wasn’t threatening any one. At worst she was blocking a thoroughfare. Then the proper response would have been a quiet, self-controlled law office asking her to move her car, and if she resisted, telling her she could be arrested and her car towed.
Instead, whether she was attempting to be a legal witness or just stopped to watch, she faced a version of every woman’s nightmare - an angry group of anonymous, armed men yelling obscenities and threatening to drag her from her car and do god knows what. She’d probably seen some of the videos of what they were capable of. So she was terrified. Did she stab at the accelerator in panic even as she tried to turn the wheel to get away while she stared in fear at the men surrounding her? Was she suddenly thinking of her son at home waiting?
Let’s assume that she was trying to be a witness to the thuggery taking place around her. Then, in her own quiet way, she was Rosa Parks in a seat at the front of the bus, those black teenagers at a whites only lunch counter, the women walking with Martin Luther King across the Pettis Bridge, the girls chased with dogs and fire hoses in Selma.
But equally possible, she was just a terrified woman alone, surrounded by malevolent male menace and seeking an escape.
Either way, and every way in between, she is the victim here. And all those suggesting that she deserved everything she got are at the very best just rojecting their guilt over her death on her, and at worst something far darker and far more unAmerican - an unhinged hatred/fear of the power of democracy.

Every word JD said was as usual a total lie

We cannot respond to armed killers directly. We can still march.
Yes! And sing! Here, like the Raging Grannies in their version of the 💠 Battle Hymn of the Republic 🎶
