Just when you think that the billions of Somali-led fraud, aided and abetted by Governor Tim Walz, Ilhan Omar of The Squad, and apparently even prominent insurance companies, was the talk of the town, a high-profile shooting happens.
Ordinarily, whenever it’s white on white violence, it scarcely makes the local news, let alone enter national headlines. However, because Renee Nicole Good was a far-left activist who was shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who has been spun by legacy media as one of President Trump’s Gestapo, this quickly became a major controversy.
I dare say that without the presence of body cams, multiple angles of footage, and the lack of “color” in this sad tale, it might have blown up into a social uprising that mirrored the George Floyd riots some five years ago.
Now, as you might imagine, the way Americans feel about this story is drawn exactly down the political lines you might expect.
If you’re a leftist who hates the Trump Administration, you likely believe that Good was murdered by the state, both to make an example of her and because of her sexual orientation.
If you’re on the right, you probably don’t have much sympathy for Good, and you’re likely laughing at the memes mocking her stupidity.
Still, if you take a step back from all the polarized insanity, you will find multiple levels of tragedy laid bare.
It’s easy to dismiss Good as just another smug leftist who got hit while doing something she had no business doing.
But on the other side, it’s worth asking, what kind of bad programming would drive a mother of three out into the street and put herself in harm’s way to protect illegal aliens who will be no- shows at her funeral.
Of course, you’re also free to wonder about Ross and what might motivate him to put a bullet through her skull when they could have tracked Good down and arrested her later.
Knowing that he was previously dragged by a car and seriously injured while trying to apprehend a rogue Guatemalan last year answers some of that why.
It’s not difficult to imagine why Ross may be wary of mentally unhinged lawbreakers getting behind the wheel and trying to interrupt law enforcement activities.
Regardless, you can hold multiple views of the incident.
Personally, I believe that Good ought to be alive, but I don’t fault Ross for his actions.
What Good and her wife were doing was incredibly stupid and frankly illegal, but I don’t lay the blame entirely at their feet.
I like to get down to the root of the problem, which in so many cases like these, comes down to bad ideology...
