Found this and it’s pretty accurate…

Look…It's not that hard.

The left just wants to live in an environment where taxes are high, the regulations are plentiful, the property is collective and the economy centrally planned…

No one has guns except the police, who no longer exist because no one is illegal so prisons aren't needed.

The men are women, the women are men and the kids are trans…

The day care centers are plentiful, but kids are not, because abortion is free.

All lives matter except for straight white males who are literally Hitler and land acknowledgments are spoken before every sporting event where the score is never kept…

And the rest of us?

Well the rest of us would like to live somewhere about as opposite to what I just described as possible.

So maybe it's time to just divvy up the states between us. Allow everyone the option to move to one zone or the other and then conduct the same kind of experiment that North and South Korea did…

Then we can check back in 30 years and figure out which one is a thriving high trust society and which one is a degenerate failed state incapable of being seen from space at night…except maybe for the mostly peaceful glow of its cities burning to the ground.

Straight white males aren't Hitler. I'm a straight white male. I'm not Hitler. You're not Hitler, either. You just love and follow the latest iteration of Hitler, who happens to be a used car salesman who literally hates you.

Way to show us you're a true American ... you're calling for another separation of the States again. Thought you guys would have learned your lesson the last time you got your asses kicked trying to do that.

There have been plenty of news reports where folks with a law enforcement background weigh in with comments on this incident. A lot of it is just political, but if you listen to enough of them and you can glean a few useful bits of information. I tend to agree what Ms. Good bears some portion of the blame for her tragic fate, but it is a decidedly small portion. Consider the following:

1. A couple of law enforcement commentators noted that typical police protocol for a situation like this is for officers to position themselves on the side of a motor vehicle rather than in front or in back of the motor vehicle. Vehicles move forward and backward, not sideways.

2. Standard protocol is for a single member of the law enforcement team to be in command, and give directions to the person in the vehicle. That helps avoid confusion and mistakes. In this case, one ICE officer ran up to Ms. Good's vehicle shouting "Get out of the car." while the shooter had already drawn his weapon and moved in front of the front driver's side corner of the car. If Ms. Good had simply been parked in the middle of the street, I fail to see why that should have prompted either of these ICE officers to ramp things up so dramatically. It would be quite understandable if Ms. Good's reaction was panic.

3. The shooter may have a self defense argument with respect to his first shot, as he may have subjectively believed that Ms. Good's vehicle was coming at him even though she had the wheels turned to her right. But one LE commentator said that the self defense argument must be assessed with respect to each and every shot fired. He fired at least three shots, with the last two coming from the driver's side of the vehicle. Those shots were clearly not taken in self defense., as there is no way Ms. Good's car could strike him at that point.

4. The actions of ICE personnel immediately following the shooting were also pretty sketchy. The shooter and an ICE colleague promptly got in an ICE vehicle and departed, which clearly altered the crime scene. Moreover, the ICE officers who surrounded Ms. Good's car would not allow a doctor who was a bystander to render medical assistance to Ms. Good,. The bystander identified himself as a doctor and requested permission to render assistance,. to which an ICE officer responded. "No.." When said doctor noted how urgent Ms. Good's need for medical care was, the ICE agent responded "I don't care."

5. This incident already put a black eye on ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, but the Trump Administration,has compounded things by announcing that the FBI (and perhaps DHS) would be taking exclusive control of the investigation of this incident. Asking the feds to investigate themselves (particularly under folks like Trump, Noem and Cash Patel, who commented on the incident before knowing any of the details about it) is hardly likely to inspire any kind of confidence in the outcome of the investigation.

I think a lot of this is attributable to the fact that these ICE agents have not received training in dealing with members of the community, and are ill equipped to do so. Which is problematic given that they have been deployed all over the country in considerable numbers. There are reportedly more than 2,000 of them in the Minneapolis area alone.
In my opinion, and that's all it is, I think this ICE vs state and local government has gone way too far. Not that I'm Nostradamus, but I posted long ago that if the antagonism between federal and state officials didn't stop, someone was going to be killed. Well now it's happened and everyone is attempting to place blame. So that's human nature.

Isn't it past time that we stop this? It may have happened in my lifetime, but other than the civil rights movement in the 60s, I can't recall a time or an issue where states have actively worked to obstruct efforts of the federal government. I recognize that immigration enforcement is the responsibility of the federal government and states don't have to support the effort.

I think this situation could easily have been avoided. You might not agree, but from videos I've seen, Ms Good and her wife were involved in doing some effort to impede ICE. I don't know if it meets the point of obstruction so I won't use that word. But why was she there? We have laws regarding immigration and we created ICE, at least in part, to enforce those laws. I think you're right again, Ms Good does deserve some responsibility (but maybe not for her death). Why do we encourage our citizens to impede that enforcement. Why couldn't the mayor or governor ask citizens just obey the law, do not obstruct?

Now before you put me in your classification of "worshiping my Cheeto Hitler", I really don't think that officer should have fired his weapon and, I agree that two shots through the side window were totally unnecessary.

So know we've opened the box where shooting "obstructing" citizens has happened, the next shot from an ICE officer becomes easier, IMO.

So an element of our society doesn't like ICE agents actions. I don't either. But I also don't like the activists actions either, and I really don't like that our elected officials seem to think it's ok to protect those in the country being here illegally.

I read, and listen to comments or prosecuting attorneys. Some say the agents won't even be charged. I think it will be a bad decision if he is cleared and a bad decision if he is convicted. This is a no win situation for him and for the country. It's time for leaders from both parties to knock off the rhetoric

I'm not disagreeing. But, he apparently, according to reports, was hit by the car...I don't know whether he shot before or after being hit. The fact that he moved to his right, gives me thought that he at least believed that the driver was turning right. But, we'll learn his thoughts when investigation is completed.

I do think, and hope, that we can turn down the rhetoric. I also think if we could cut back on this antagonism toward ICE and get just a little more cooperation from state and local governments we could get back to a point of equilibrium. Just a comment to encourage citizens to obey command from agents would go a long way.

Down here in Florida, on TV yesterday one of our sheriffs held a press conference in which he told citizens, in part, that if you use your car to attack officers, expect to be shot. Now, that is a little over the top, but it gets a message out. I read somewhere where use of cars against ICE officers is up like 1300% (of course that might or might not be an actual small number if the base was 0) and surely ICE agents are a little more jumpy when confronted with a vehicle. Not suggesting they use weapons, only that psychologically they are likely to be equally divided in the split second decision of fight or flight.

Whole episode is a shame.
When you can be reasonable enough to just look at a video where a woman is clearly trying to get away and avoid federal agents, and where said federal agent decided to blast her in the face as she was clearly leaving and already had her front end past him, so he had to shoot her from the side ... then we'll tone down the rhetoric.

Until then, you nazis are going to nazi, and we're going to call you on it.

Will the chuds on this board listen to an actual subject matter expert about the myriad ways the ICE nazis mishandled this situation? I doubt it.

Well said.



I just figured out why the Minnesota ICE death is bothering me so much.

This liberal woman was willing to take on federal agents, to disrupt ICE operations, in order to protect criminal Somalis.

Obviously, she probably didn't imagine she would be killed. But surely, she must have known that, at the very least, she could be arrested.

She has three kids. So she was willing to be separated from her kids to protect criminal Somalis.

Speaking as a mother, this is insanity. This is not rational thinking.

What it is, instead, is the result of liberal brainrot that convinces progressive women they have more of a duty to nurture and protect poor, brown (criminal!) strangers than their own country, and hell, even their own children.

I am praying for this woman's soul and for her family. But I mean it when I say this type of thinking is almost wholly responsible for the decline of Western civilization.

Another bald-faced maga liar. If there are any illegal Somalis, the number is miniscule. We know for a fact that at least 95% of them are US citizens or legal permanent residents.

How many more lies will you bomb the board with tonight?

These are ambush tactics.

We trained for a long time on how to react to the Taliban attempting this exact same tactic against Americans convoys.

This is also exactly what Renee Good was attempting to do when officers tried to arrest her.

Democrats must explicitly and repeatedly implore their voters to stop doing this.

Given the three recent actual ambushes/shootings against ICE, these tactics create an extremely dangerous situation for agents.

Anyone who does this must be arrested and held accountable to establish deterrence.

This is not protected speech, it’s a crime.

Quit siding with anti American subversives dpic. Come back to the red white and blue. We have a seat on the train for you.
More like the black and blue the way you people treat policemen and citizens who work at Target or citizens moving their cars out of the way.

at some point a court will decide If Vance is right or wrong
I would like to think so, but if you're talking about a court trying a criminal case against the shooter (apparently, his last name is Ross), I really wonder. The feds are trying to assert exclusive jurisdiction over the investigation of this incident, but I'm not sure they can legally do so, Supremacy Clause or not. The shooting at least arguably violated Minnesota criminal law, and I don't think the feds can strip away a state's right to prosecute violations of that state's own laws occurring within the borders of that state. If the state can charge and prosecute, it seems obvious that they should be able to investigate as well.

I suppose the other context in which the accuracy of Vance's statements might be tested is a civil lawsuit by Ms. Good's executor against the shooter, ICE, and the DHS. A preponderance of the evidence standard would apply there, so the judgment, if any, would be not quite as conclusive as a judgment entered in a criminal proceeding, where a beyond a reasonable doubt standard of proof applies.

Another fake that's already been addressed.

View attachment 1131142
James Woods is a right wing nut job. Vince Langman (whoever he is) is as well. The SUV in that video is black. Ms. Good's SUV was maroon or rust, or some combination thereof. It certainly was not black. Moreover, the video that Langman promoted as the real deal does not even show the guy who was hit by that black SUV opening fire. ??!! They should at least TRY to come up with a video that is not so clearly a fake.

thing is, we have a process for dealing with this.

I know it's not a favored comment, but like in so many instances, the whole thing could have been avoided is she just obeyed the officer's command to get out of the car.

Stepping away a bit from this particular incident, I do wonder whether we need to rethink a bit what the concept of “peaceful protest” means. I don’t think it is simply the absence of assault, which seems to be a growing mindset. Doxxing, stalking, harassment, and the like start to bump up against the line between speech and conduct, and just on the conduct side of that line lies something we used to call obstruction. And when you add in the simple dickishness of it that often is there, it’s a recipe for bad outcomes. Is “peaceful” reconcilable with “confrontational”? Perhaps sometimes, but not so sure about that as a general proposition.

not really sure how we do it, but I do think, unfortunately, its worth thought.

Did she go there with the intention of disrupting a law enforcement investigation? I’m seeing reports that her and her wife got there at least an hour before this happened and were preparing to “film the interactions” of them harassing ICE and they’ve reported that the women were there specifically to disrupt deportation orders being delivered. So this isn’t someone backing out of there driveway, minding their business. This person went there looking for a confrontation and a fight.
