Awful and Unnecessary

    Something awful and unnecessary happened in Minneapolis last week.

    You know what I’m talking about.  At least I hope you do.

    Let’s be clear.  If asked on which side I fall, I would fall on the side of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) every day of the week and twice on Sunday.  Those folks have an unbelievably difficult job, made only more difficult by lunatics.  Who view themselves as divinely blessed to rid the nation of those deemed the modern-day Gestapo by horrendously irresponsible media and politicians.

    I’m talking to you, Mayor Frey and Governor Walz, you retard.

"Would a tampon make it all better?"

    That some people defend those who broke our immigration laws, some of whom committed heinous crimes while here, boggles my mind.

    We are not the same.

    It can only be Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Look, I don’t like 47, either.  But, Idiot Joe and Slappy deported more than Orange Jesus while they were in office.  You people are exhausting.

"Me and my nurse love Orange Jesus!  It's a refreshing drink that goes great with ice cream. 
No joke."

"That's Orange Julius, you idiot!"

    NOTE:  For those calling the United States a fascist dictatorship ruled by a tyrant, have a look at Iran.  Yeah, you would have disappeared months ago if you were right.

    Renee Good, self-styled ICE tracker, inserted herself into a law enforcement operation.  Hindering such an operation is a crime and she should have been prosecuted for such.

    From what I can tell from the video, though, she seems like a pleasant, if deranged, person. 

"That's fine, dude.  I'm not mad at you."

    It's jarring, considering what was about to happen.

    In my opinion, the real villain of the story is her wife, Becca Good.  As I will cover below, her butch bellicosity and “Drive, baby, drive!”  made things worse.

She should be prosecuted.

    Her killer (not murderer), Jonathan Ross, was the victim of a vehicular assault six months ago, which resulted in over 30 stitches.  Surely, the thought had to have weighed on his mind.

    Should he have stood directly in front of the vehicle, weapon at the ready?  Perhaps not.

    However, should Renee Good have floored the accelerator of her SUV in the general direction of a federal agent (pointing the aforementioned weapon) after being told to “get out of the fucking vehicle!”? 

    I mean, who the fuck does that?

   Do I think she intended to hit Ross, thus causing serious harm, if not death? 

   More than likely not.

   Here’s where I think the wife merits blame.  By shouting “Drive, baby, drive!” did she cause Good to act on instinct, not seeing the agent?  She had to have been nervous.  Perhaps.  What do I know?

    What I do know is that, if someone barks at me during a tense situation, I could very easily act on that command.

    Now, as to Ross...

    Should he have stood off to the side a fraction?  Still have his gun raised, unquestionably, but not so much in the car’s path?  Perhaps.  Once again, what do I know?

    The man had to make a split-second decision.  What he saw was a vehicle lurching at him.  In that incredibly-brief amount of time, in his mind it was kill or be killed.

    I know what I would do.  I would shoot.

    So would you, Mr. "I Saw the Video a Dozen Times While Sitting On the Couch."

Or toilet.

    Did Renee Good cause her own death?  Of course not.  But, did she make an incredibly bad decision, thus putting herself in the crosshairs (poor choice of words, perhaps) of an agent who had already seen a car used as a weapon?

    Absolutely.

    Awful.  And unnecessary.

    Tragically, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of it.

    Not for nothing, I must have missed the outrage when Iryna Zarutska was stabbed to death on a Charlotte train.
