Kicking Renee Good After She's Dead

     Renee Macklin Good was not rich. She wasn't an "influencer" with a following of millions. She wasn't a powerful Democratic elected official like Jacob Frey or Tim Walz. She wasn't an "antifa terrorist". She was just a suburban mom who'd just, as with many other moms in Minneapolis that day, dropped her child off at school.

     In other words, she was no threat to the Trump administration, the MAGA movement or DHS.

     Not that that would've justified a death sentence under any circumstances. After all, this isn't Baghdad from 20 years ago.

     The Trump administration reacted swiftly. Within the hour, Trump, Noem and JD Bowman began accusing her of "weaponizing her vehicle", that the ICE agent was "lucky to be alive" And, just hours ago, Bowman had the nerve to put this out on Twitter:

     "Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn't hit by a car, wasn't being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense."

     What our so-called vice president was  referring to was a leaked cell phone video taken by the same asshole, Jonathan Ross, who murdered Good. It shows a smiling Renee Good momentarily taking a stand against the goons who'd infested that neighborhood, her neighborhood, perhaps the only form of protest she'd ever engaged in in her short life.

     God only knows why Jonathan Ross was filming Good on his cell phone. At best, he was supposed to be participating in an immigration raid, not filming a podcast or a Youtube video. But JD Bowman, like most Republicans and the MAGATs who worship them and their every cruelty, lives on Earth 2. We saw this during the George Floyd protests of 2020 that also started in Minneapolis. They've historically forced themselves to disbelieve the evidence shown to them on videotape and to see something completely different from the truth.

     But, if anything, Ross' cell phone video only confirmed what we on Earth 1 already knew: That Renee Macklin Good was summarily executed on a city street without any legal justification whatsoever. It shows Good smiling at Ross and saying, "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you," in the final moments of her life.

     Seconds later, a group of enraged ICE agents swarmed her car, screamed "Get the fuck out of the car!" and reached for her door handle. Like anyone in that predicament would do, she tried to flee the scene. Then Ross dropped his phone and fired three shots into her face through her driver side window. Then moments after she was dead, Ross could be heard muttering, "Fucking bitch."

     I won't belabor the point that shooting at a moving vehicle runs counter to law enforcement training all over the country. I won't try to make hay over the incredibly unprofessional conduct of the ICE goons at the scene. This is about a criminal organization that has essentially legalized summary execution after even mild, momentary rebellion. That's what banana republics do, plain and simple.

     It was the speed and casualness with which Trump and his top enablers vilified Renee Good, essentially kicking her not just when she was down but dead and incapable of defending herself. And this intolerance toward the most cursory opposition from even the least powerful among us is part and parcel to every authoritarian regime ever. It stems from a paranoia of the people rising up against them and openly questioning their will, their supposed mandate.

     And the fact that Good was a woman seems to fuel their vitriol. Kristi Noem has already sexualized this murder, repeatedly using female pronouns as if her being a disobedient woman justified a death sentence. And all this cruelty and barbarity that we've seen for the past year is at the behest of a rapist and misogynist who'd referred to women in the past a "dogs", "pigs" and "disgusting animals".

     And this murderous administration will double, triple, quadruple, quintuple down and stick by its lies and warped, mangled version of reality rather than admit they were wrong, which in itself is a form of sociopathy. We saw it during the ongoing persecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and the fishermen in the Caribbean who were blown out of the water during Trump's two dozen strikes. They will murder innocent people, powerless people then, when the outcry gets to be too great, Trump and his goons will then savage these dead, dismembered people and will try their best to get you to believe they were the worst people on earth.

     Decency and honesty are considered weaknesses, character flaws, even heresy impeding the holy mandate.

     Renee turned away from Ross just as she was putting the car in drive. Every angle of every video that's ever been released plainly shows that. It's not as if a new video from a new angle is ever going to come to light showing Good striking Ross with her Honda Pilot and trying to run him over. Ross never even got any dirt from her car on his uniform. There was no contact, no nothing.

     And he shot her in the face several times when she used her fight or flight instinct. She chose flight. Ross chose fight.

     That's it, Case closed. Now all that remains is for Keith Ellison, Minnesota's Attorney General, to empanel a grand jury and have this asshole indicted for murder.

 

     The pathological alternate reality is on full display on Elon Musk's neo Nazi sewer formerly known as Twitter. Every totalitarian regime has citizens who will believe whatever their Dear Leader and his enablers will tell them. That especially goes for cop groupies and other law enforcement fetishists. Yes, these people who'd attacked DC police on January 6th 2021 back the blue as long as the right people are getting murdered and brutalized. 

     But I'd like to close this by reminding them that these cruel and stupid stormtroopers getting shat out by ICE's training mill won't give a shit what you wrote in support of them on social media. They wouldn't hesitate to shoot you in the face if you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time in an abruptly developing and highly-fluid situation.

     They will shoot you, too, in the face, the minute they perceive you to be a threat in their PTSD minds. The administration will then kick you when you're dead and accuse you of all sorts of vile things. Because protecting the mission with people like this always means more than protecting innocent civilian lives.

     You're playing with a flared cobra and it will bite with frightening speed anyone who gets near its basket.
