Leftist Minn. mother’s fatal shooting by ICE agent? It was a tragedy of her own making. Officer was acting in self-defense.

Okay, boy (I tell myself), let’s see if you can make this argument without any ad hominem attacks. Try to be an adult.... 

The story is that a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot an innocent mother of three (Renee Good), in front of her wife.  

She is described by her wife (Becca Good) as, “in fact, kindness radiated out of her.”

Then there is the report that they (Renee and Becca) took training classes in how to obstruct ICE agents.  

Well, okay.  

There is the story that this was the second time they attempted to block ICE officers (that morning) from doing their job.  

The only thing material are events that led to the shooting... and those are recorded on video to be evidenced by all — not goodness, not training, not children, previous marriages, what happened before that morning, being a Christian, or looking out for one’s neighbors. 

 In one video, Renee’s car is stopped crossing (blocking) the traffic lane halting traffic.  

Why? 

I don’t know. It is a tactic used by protesters to “hinder” (that’s a mild word — not impede, interfere, prevent) ICE operations.  

What is important is you see an  ICE officer (they are sworn federal law enforcement officers) telling Renee to “get out of the f---ing car.”

The logical assumption is he is frustrated, and he has now placed her under arrest. He is also attempting to open the driver door to remove her from the vehicle.

In the second video during this time period, we see Renee’s wife walking to the left outside of the vehicle, taunting (provoking) another  ICE officer telling him, “You need to get some lunch, big boy!”

I would say that is what you could call “background information” (noise) not material to the situation.  

What is material is she then tells her wife (Renee) to accelerate (‘gun’) the vehicle, evidently to resist the arrest (that is the correct term). I could soften it to evade. But the term is “resist.”  

As Renee does so, she hits (drives into) a third  ICE officer. That is material. She has now assaulted an officer with a deadly weapon (to wit, a motor vehicle).  

That is serious — it is a criminal felony.  She has just attempted to murder a law enforcement officer.  

And while this is going on, the officer shoots and kills his attacker.  

I know he is just a lowly police officer... a paid “so-called” public servant... a professional who is expected to suffer the abuses of the public. 

He is a person worthy of no human merit, especially from a self-described Christian family woman, one of whom, what was it… “in fact, kindness radiated out of her.”  

It is a fact that this lowly public servant did have is a right to be in the street without an expectation of being run down by this exalted “kindness-radiating” person.  

That is true, even if she had three children, and was attempting to take care of her neighbors.  

Renee’s wife Becca is an accessory to the attempted murder. She is on video (for everyone to see) encouraging her wife to resist arrest and assault the officer with a deadly weapon.  

This could be a case of what my step-father told me as a young boy: “Roger, if you go to town looking for trouble, chances are you are going to find it.”

Thanks, Rich, I owe you a lot. 

Could this be another FAFO story? 

(EDITOR’S NOTE: “FAFO” is an acronym for “f---ed around and found out” stories.)

It also brings to mind… What is the figure... $9 billion... stolen from American taxpayers in Minnesota?

Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry ... Get out of Minnesota...  “We don’t need no stinking badges in Minnesota...” I guess not.... No relation to this... Don’t go there.... Coincidence?... “Just the facts”  — it’s all just more Democrat, left-wing, apparatchik obfuscation...

You have to love their infamy.  

There I did it — without ad hominem.
