    This is nothing more than divisive ragebait. Who gives a shit? The story should be that ICE has murdered several innocent people, bystanders, and got away with it. While you’re at each other’s throats, they keep getting away with it.

    I don’t want to victim blame here. No one deserves to have their child shot and killed.

    I will say that it’s tragic that it took this for her mom to realize the impact of her actions.

    Well she’s certainly having the day she voted for.

    “This is madness,” she concluded.

    This is America that you voted for.

      No, the America she voted for was for this to be happening to poors and browns.

      Not her precious white daughter

        Everyone and their dog knew this would happen. Only ignorant and blind morons would have assumed the Trump administration would only go after “illegals”.

        Oh by the way, it’s not a criminal offence to be in a country illegally. It’s a civil matter. Being an illegal immigrant should not be a death sentence.

          This is what Republicans have wanted for decades, for black, brown, immigrant and liberal to be shot in the street.

                She was divorced, had an 8yo kid from a previous marriage, and her partner at the time of her murder was another woman. Renee Good was queer as fuck, and very open about it. And her mom voted for people like her daughter to be killed.

                She got the day she voted for. And now she’s upset about it.

      I’m a registered Republican. I voted for President Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the United States — innocents like our family and the others here — against terrorists

      She was hoping ICE would kill brown people, not her openly LGBTQ+ daughter.

      I hope she lives the rest of her life with people reminding her that she is the reason her daughter is dead.

          These comments are literally from earlier this week. Her view hasn’t changed. She’s upset ICE killed her gay daughter, and not the brown immigrant down the street.

          As a queer person, I would bet my house she votes straight R in November without giving it a second thought.

      shes a trump voter that didnt care until the repercussions hit her and her home.

      at best its a 50/50 chance that she learned anything deep down.

      Because they lack empathy, they literally do not have the capacity to project themselves into someone else’s shoes and feel for them unless they experience it themselves.

      I feel like I’m going fucking crazy, like this didn’t happen already. He turns the entire American public against him, they vote him out so overwhelmingly that even their election fraud and foreign interference and owning all media outlets can’t save him, and then the entire country gets fucking amnesia and swallows the propaganda hook line and sinker, rinse and repeat.

    “It’s torture that as her mom and as her family, we could not protect Renee,” the mother testified, clearly emotional. “But no one can protect against others who are determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.”

    No, she definitely could have protected Renee by not voting for someone determined to disregard our country’s constitutional rules and values.

      Might even go so far as to say not voting for someone who had already proven disregard for the constitution before voting for them.

      Assuming that they ever spoke, didn’t her mother vote against her daughter’s interest?

      I was under the impression that Renee Good was married to a lady and they had a kid or two.

      I can’t help but think of the qanon revealing-all-the-child-abusers conspiracy theory and Irony.

      The whole thing makes me sad.

      Finding out is always optional, if you simply never introspect or allow yourself to experience doubt. Which, ha ha, it turns out the more your twisted beliefs hurt you, the harder it gets to face them down! So, that’s fun.

    Only after receiving this new information did Trump admit he “felt terribly” about the shooting, adding, “I understand both sides of it.”

      That didn’t happen.

      And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

      And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

      And if it is, that’s not my fault.

      And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

      And if I did, you deserved it.

      Read “Throw you a bone” in the same way you throw a rock to someone and not how you throw leftovers to dogs. Trump hasn’t helped anyone that has kissed his ass, only those that give him cash, and even then…
