I’m the epitome of Miller’s white fantasy, tall, blond blue eyed. Frankly, he doesn’t look white enough to fit his own criteria. Maybe now that an innocent white mother was gunned down, folks will start to recognize their skin color won’t protect them from Trump and his minions.

hitler didn’t look like his aryan dream either.

It is insecurity and jealousy at very deep and horrid hateful levels that brings this out in people.

The biggest irony is that Miller is Jewish. He possesses a whole lot of self hate and delusion. Part of my family were Mennonite German immigrants and some of my family is Jewish, and we are multi racial. I could “pass” as part of that self loathing white supremacist society (because that’s what they are at their core), but I’ve been fortunate to be part of a family that reflects the goal for this nation.

Nobody deserves to die by a gun shot in cold blooded murder. Who does deserve to die. We are not a civilized society.

Kathy.....nobody deserves to die by gun........... nobody deserved to die by a woman purposely hitting the agent........and the agent who shot her did so protecting himself......when she put her car into gear and came within 1 second of running him over.........I detest what happened.......the agent did not commit a crime.........he won't be convicted of anything other than what "protecting himself?"

He was not protecting himself. He was bullying her by illegally trying to get in her car and putting his arm in the window. His job is to harass neighbors and scare them. They had no list of criminals no warrants. They were there to bully . It was cold blooded murder and normal humans don’t shoot people that drive away from them. We don’t go around shooting drivers

Since when did the rule become comply or die? She posed no immediate threat to anyone and was shot point blank several times in the head. They're kill shots! The ones that you make when you don't want to leave a witness to tell a story!! This is murder and nothing less. This country is fucking disgusting and Rambo some BS racial American shit that isn't a place that I'm proud to be at all anymore.

Q. Since when did the rule become comply or die?

A. I hear you........also agree......but not in this case. Once the victim put her car in forward gear and was within inches of hitting the agent with her car.

Not what I was getting out of the video at all. She was scared and didn’t even realize wtf was taking place. She wasn’t going to run him over and never had the car on park so what came first the chicken or the egg? They shoot to kill like we're all animals and criminals. This woman was a mother and widow and is dead because of the insane obsession of immigration that is fucking tiring at this point. Enough of them have been caught it's inexcusable that they are acting like they are searching for serial killers and shooting people that are hiding them. Again I’ll say inexcusable and morons that don’t know how to do a job without killing somebody.

She left behind a wife. It is so upsetting to see this erased time and again. She was shot with her wife beside her. You can hear the screams in the video. Please include her wife in your comments, thoughts, and prayers. Renee Nicole Goode was shot in the face right before her eyes, do not erase her.

She also had 3 children. 2 children from one husband and a second one from her second husband, and he is six if I heard right. The wife is at least an adult, but children having their mother murdered and the Trump admin blaming the death on their mom is even more horrible.

Yes, it was the video I just saw of her wife sitting distraught and traumatized on the sidewalk holding their leashed dog wailing that just tore at my heart and sent me into a new fresh outrage I didn’t know was possible. Oh my, this is becoming too much…

I agree! I did see the video on Ari Melber show on MSNBC so that’s something I guess. Would like to see more substack authors acknowledge this, though. And the MSM of course

We must move to disarm ICE. There is no logical reason for them to be armed. They are not ever shot at and if they were they should stop what they are doing and call the FBI, DEA, ATF or state and local police to take care of it. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/disarm-ice?r=3m1bs

All the money spent on ICE could have been used to revamp our lousy immigration system. However the POC do not want more brown people in the country. That’s why they lie and say all of these people are bad. Those people ass to out economy and pay taxes.

Carl........166 ICE AGENTS were killed in the line of duty. No reason for them to be armed? Really........many of the guys they chase are bad boys and will blow your effing head off if they cross paths with you. Never shot! Yeah right....Just like January 6th was nothing but a tourist holiday in Washington, DC. Be sure to take your meds!

Mike, you wrote "Yes—remove people who commit violent crimes."

And that includes the entire Cabinet and their underlings.

And one more thing: Stephen Miller does not pass the idea of "white."

Not every ICE agent is a criminal, but the ones in the video trying to reach into her car, the one who shot her multiple times, the one who denied a physician to assist her…they are criminals! But, we all know the result will be little Miss Cosplay will not investigate, nor even cooperate in any investigation. We need justice for Ms Good and others subjected to Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Little Marco Rubio and the ICE Princess.

She had two children by her first husband. They divorced. Her 6-year-old is from her second husband, who died at a tragically young age. She then married a woman.

I have several thoughts on this. But I have to start with this:

“Well, if she’d just followed commands, she’d still be alive.” do the words Ashli Babbitt ring a bell? And isn’t it hilariously ironic that Babbitt is pretty much the universal term for a right wing bigot.

All of my information— which may be wrong— says that Goode was a gay woman, and that she has— had— a wife and a son. Although if she is gay, that has nothing to do with this horrendous crime, I would not like that erased. Our lives are every bit as valuable as anyone else’s, and one of the things that I just find amazingly annoying is this never ending attempt to erase our existence. I’m not saying that that is what Mike is doing, only that if she was gay, her loss is every bit as important to her wife, her kid, and the rest of the country.

As for this whole nightmare fiasco, I am old enough to remember Kent State. The entire idea that authoritarian thugs can murder citizens with impunity, whether it’s George Floyd or Renee goode, is a perversion of justice, morality and law that must carry as severe a punishment as possible. I truly hope that her death is enough to galvanize protests against this nightmare in this country, much as the four dead at Kent state galvanized my generation against the Vietnam war.

You can be sure of one thing. The killer has already been move to a state which would not possibly extradite him to Minnesota, should he be indicted for murder there.

The US doesn't work that way. You can't have one state hold you and not extradite you because of their laws that only applies if you're lucky enough to Gtfoh and land in another country where they have that control

Every state is required to extradite to every other state, in Article IV. A state which refused to honor a Minnesota indictment would be seceding from the Union.

Brett Kavanaugh Stop and the rest of the Injustices on the Roberts Kangaroo Court have blood on their hands, too. Instead of stepping up to their heroic role as the last backstop against authoritarianism, they’ve sold their souls and perverted the law to enable this violent, thug regime. Wonderful legacy they’ve created for themselves.

The agent was in front of the car when the video I saw started (she was partially surrounded) but she was turning right, away from him and the other agents visible; by the time he fired.., he was beside the car, not in front of it, in no danger. Looked as if he was afraid she would get away.

Apparently, to JD Vance, the fact that he shot her is what made her a terrorist.

From the multiple videos I’ve viewed, the murderer was never in danger of being injured. ICE is a fascist army, as incompetent as the shit4brains individual responsible for ICE’s very existence.

There simply was no basis for that shooting and no one should be killed for so stupid a a reason. In Henderson the other day, a guy stole an large front end loader and managed to destroy the two police cars before the police managed to stop him by shooting and wounding him. She wasn't even blocking cars because at least one car went around her car early in one of the videos. The clown who shot her, had been too busy filming her a few seconds before from in front of her car. No one with a gun should be trying to film an incident at the same time he should be paying attention to other moving cars, not standing in a traffic land, and following standard procedures to not stand in front of a car (which is against ICE and every other law enforcement agencies policies), and paying attention to what is going on around him. Also, so what if they had let her leave. Her car had a license plate on it so it would not have been exactly hard to find out where she lived. THIS WAS NOTHING BUT MURDER or at least MANSLAUGHTER.
