    Please don’t censor the quote. We don’t censor our president when he says something offensive then we shouldn’t censor a mayor who is only saying what we are all thinking.

    U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem characterized the driver’s actions as an “act of domestic terrorism.”

    Holy shit what a stretch. These people are ghouls without conscience. They’re subhuman.

    I see they’re trying to make “domestic terrorism” into a meaningless word like “antifa,” too, since most U.S. domestic terrorism is perpetrated by fans of theirs.

      What I see in the video is a person running scared of a bunch of menacing masked, armed goons.

      It’s not domestic terrorism, it’s called a flight reflex.

        Yes! Exactly!!

        If someone is pointing a weapon at me with literally no authority, it’s self defense to try and run away.

        It’s not hard. This is cold blooded murder.

      Yes, that’s exactly what they are doing, because if they do, you lose all your rights as a person. They absolutely want to paint their ‘enemies’ as terrorists.

    Murder. No question about it. Poor little crybaby bitch ICE agent couldn’t handle being told no by a woman. Minnesota is about to ACTUALLY riot and show them what it actually looks like. Are people forgetting what happened in 2020 in Minneapolis?

    Non-voting deadweights of America, go and explain to that woman’s family how bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, how THEIR tragedy is a sacrifice YOU are willing to make for the sake of your lily-white purity.

    Non-voting deadweights of America: this blood is on your already blood-soaked hands. You must be very proud of your spiritual superiority, lol, amirite?

      Genuinely - as I’m an outstanding citizen by your metric - what does your comment intend to accomplish other than illicit your own sense of superiority while literally accomplishing nothing? No commentary to the matter, no recourse how to engage with whom you describe as the absolute enemy, just infighting bait. If this is how you engage with family and friends on these issues… you’ve likely done more damage.

      I really should just be writing off these comments as bot replies at this point.

        Shame is a form of punishment. Everyone loves to get off on their high horse about how positive punishment is unproductive and reform should be constructive yada yada. This middle of the road shit is exactly how we ended up with centrists.

        We need to bring equality back to punishment. I’m tired of seeing cops kill people and get put on leave like it’s a private work blunder. I’m tired of hearing about politicians ignoring judicial orders and having absolutely no repercussions whatsoever.

        So even if it’s just people screaming angrily into the void on the internet, it’s more than was being done a day ago, and that something is more than nothing.

        Yeah, holy shit, I agree with OP, but this is unproductive. For the same reason it was unproductive to “both sides” during the election, it’s useless to spend time on lambasting people for their sins, apropos of nothing. (By all means, keep chewing out people who resurface their tired Kamala rhetoric now.)

        We should be building coalitions and working together. As has always been the case.

      This is just another day in America. Both right winger parties are shit. They’re both capitalist scum bent over by the ruling class. Causing a larger divide isn’t solving anything.

    Her name was Renee Nicole Good.

    She had a child, age 6.

    The child’s father died in 2023.

      The video alone shows it was murder, pure and simple.

      But yeah, a testimony is even better. Because video evidence means nothing anymore: it’s either conceivably AI-generated, or the narrative is distorted out of recognition repeatedly, ad-nauseam, until viewers watching what’s obviously going on in the video stop believing their lying eyes, like what Trump is attempting to do with the J6 videos.

        The testimony makes it even more damning, as it indicates that she was complying with a previous instruction (“get out of here”) and was still murdered for it.

      Provably deadly! It seems quite suspicious how many humans being deported untracked.

      Thanks for the link, I’m always interested to see which particular histories the modern world is trying to repeat!

      such a difficult thing to speak to as governor. A (righteous) uprising akin to what happened after the murder of George Floyd would almost certainly see the insurrection act declared. And such an uprising would be confusing geographically because it would be contra Washington DC but destructive to the Twin Cities which is a progressive place by and large

    Not the first to die and not the last, but at least we are making law abiding tax paying immigrants pay for not being white.
