Like probably many of you, I am having trouble containing my anger.

I've been out most of the day, and now I am watching TV about the events in Minneapolis.

As I type this, I'm hearing on the TV that Trump is calling the deceased woman something like a "professional agitator".

I think this is a tipping point.

I knew this would happen, but I can't wrap my head around it.

Fighting mad here, literally.

I don't know what else to say.

Nobody gives a crap about your fake outrage.

Well, I have not seen info about her political views and actions (I haven't yet rooted around my daily go-to news/commentary sites), but her obstructing law enforcement and attempt to run down a law enforcement officer are not the actions of random people heading for Target, Kroger, or Starchucks.

Here’s What Dems Don’t Want You to Know About the Woman Who Attacked ICE Agents

An eyewitness to the incident has completely blown apart the left’s false narratives and even directly contradicted claims from the victim’s own mother that she had nothing to do with the protest that turned violent.

The woman who was killed was identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. After her death, Good’s mother insisted that her daughter was “not part of anything like that at all” when it came to the anti-ICE protests.

The witness account tells a very different story, one that places Good at the center of an organized effort to obstruct federal agents.

The witness said the incident began early in the morning after hearing an unusual noise outside.

“I woke up to some commotion. I heard some whistles going on out front, so I came downstairs to see what was going on,” the witness said.

The scene quickly came into focus. Traffic was blocked, and Good’s vehicle was positioned to halt movement entirely.
...
The witness went further, explaining that Good was not a peripheral figure but the lead vehicle in the protest.

“They clearly wanted her out of there, um, because she was the main car leading the, um, the protest is my understanding,” the witness said. “I talked to another guy who was driving behind her.”

The witness continued, “She was very — she was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was, what she was set out to do, and so they wanted to get her the hell out of there.”

Randos headed for WallyWorld don't suddenly lead a caravan of obstructors of ICE. There's probably more to come about her actual views and actions. Given that the obstructors seem to have arrived ahead of or concurrent with the ICE team's arrival, I wonder if this confrontation and shooting is the result of some sort of tip-off.

Well she was according to the lib-tards employed as a professional "legal observer" which apparently entitles her to run over ICE officers, who are empowered by laws passed by Congress.

Get over yourself.

new one for me as well, so I had to ask dumbass google AI what was a "legal observer":

AI Overview
A legal observer is a neutral, third-party volunteer who attends public demonstrations, protests, and other events to monitor and document interactions between law enforcement and the public. Their primary goal is to protect the constitutional rights of demonstrators by providing an objective, credible account of events that can be used as evidence in potential legal cases.

Key Roles and Responsibilities
Documenting Law Enforcement Activity: Legal observers meticulously record the actions of police or other government agents (such as ICE). This includes documenting arrests, use of force, intimidating displays of force, and any behavior that might restrict the demonstrators' First Amendment rights. They often use notes, photos, and video recordings to capture details like badge numbers, officer names, and the context leading up to an incident.

Maintaining Neutrality: Observers are strictly neutral and do not participate in the protest, chant, carry signs, or give legal advice on the ground. They separate themselves from the crowd to maintain credibility as witnesses.

Deterrence and Accountability: The visible presence of legal observers (often wearing distinct vests or hats, such as the National Lawyers Guild's neon green hats) can act as a deterrent to unconstitutional or improper behavior by law enforcement.
Legal Support Coordination: Information gathered by observers is relayed to a broader legal support system, which may include volunteer attorneys and jail support teams, to aid those who are arrested.

Program Management
The most well-known program for training and deploying legal observers is the National Lawyers Guild's (NLG) Legal Observer® Program, established in 1968. Other organizations, such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), also train volunteers for this role.

While some chapters require observers to be legal professionals (lawyers, law students, or legal workers), many general programs are open to anyone willing to be trained and commit to the role. The training focuses on proper documentation techniques, understanding their role as a neutral party, and knowing what to do if they are instructed to disperse.
Distinction from "Copwatching"

Legal observing is distinct from "copwatching," an earlier practice started by groups like the Black Panther Party, which typically involves general citizen patrols monitoring police activity in everyday situations. Legal observing is specifically focused on providing support and documentation within the context of organized protests and demonstrations, often linking activists to a larger legal defense infrastructure.
Recent Relevance
The role has gained prominence during mass movements, including the George Floyd protests in 2020 and, as of current events (January 2026), ongoing operations and related incidents involving federal immigration agents (ICE) in cities like Minneapolis.

TL;DR blah blah blah, she wasn't one. More like:

Maybe that's because she'd spent the entire morning interfering with and obstructing ICE.

The circumstances of this incident are very different, but the Democrats' reaction to it really reminds me of their response to the Kenosha shooting involving Rittenhouse.

"Yeah, there are protestors burning buildings and attacking innocent people. Hey! Why are people showing up with guns?!"

[enslaved1]

Well, I believe the outrage over ICE shooting a protester in self defense has officially outlasted the outrage over a protester shooting illegal immigrants cause they had no idea how to use a gun.

Dear DUmmy,

The problem isn't that you're angry.

The problem is why you're angry, and who you're angry at.

The responsibility for this occurence and so many like it, is on those you support politically, and their felony stupid ideas and notions...and on those who've decided they can live by them.

They are who you should be angry at.

But like the modern feminist, in your mind, nothing is ever your (both generic 'your' and you individually)  fault. This is due almost entirely, to living a life free of most consequence both individually and politically. Thinking you can just get in the street, block traffic, obstruct lawful federal operations...those are all examples individually and combined.

In short, you're (again both individually and generally) spoiled.

The times are changing, and you and yours are in for the rudest of awakenings.

FAFO

The left owns this. All kinds of Left-wing politicians have been calling Law Enforcement kidnappers and Gestapo and more and yet when they face the consequences of what they spew forth they act like they are the innocent ones. I guess this is what happens when you coddle kids and give everyone a trophy or ribbon for winning even if they lose.

It bears repeating: If certain rhetoric leads to violence, then Democrats are sure as **** trying to get people killed.

It sur seems that way. And as i have said elsewhere online. If they are going to do this then the blood of many people will be on their hands. They were asked to stop with the BS talk about Law Enforcement being the Gestapo and Kidnapping people and such and they refused to stop. They are pumping themselves up for a fight like some kid with a big ego that wants to take on a kid much bigger than they are.

I feel for the DUmbAss. I'm angry, too. I'm angry that the self-centered leftist put that agent, who was just trying to do his job, in the position to be forced to defend his life. Let's look at some of the ways the leftist could still be alive...
1) If the leftist would have stayed home and minded her own business, she'd likely still be alive.
2) If the leftist would have "protested" in an out of the way area instead of hindering law enforcement, she'd likely still be alive.
3) If the leftist would have left when told to do so, she'd likely still be alive.
4) If the leftist would have simply followed the instructions of the agents and gotten out of the vehicle, she'd most likely still be alive.
It really looks to me like the leftist, unfortunately, chose this outcome. Sadly, it's the outcome that the DemonRat overlords have longed for since Trump took office because the rulers of the DemonRatic Party love chaos.

Doing outrageous threatening things to provoke uncontrolled reaction while being filmed is a standard Prog tactic. At best, Renee Good did this and her exit plan failed when the ICE agent was somewhere she didn't plan for. At worst, she was exiting stage right and saw an opportunity to injure someone she hated.
