and the law won.
Like a certain part of the anatomy, everyone has an opinion on the shooting death of that I.C.E. protestor in Minneapolis. Regardless, the Head Groundskeeper hopes parents teach their children, whether on Allied Drive or in Maple Bluff that, as a general principle, it’s not a good idea to get crossways with people holding guns. As true interacting with the local gendarmerie as with the meth-addicted Stop ’n Rob stick-up man — discretion being the better part of valor.
But please don’t call Renee Good a martyr. She was a casualty in the Left’s war against immigration enforcement, however gotten or misbegotten. A fallen soldier — a hero to many, like the 16 protesters who gathered in 28-degree F weather on a busy intersection here in Madison Wi this Sunday noon. God bless them, every one, for the freedoms we all enjoy, and for a peaceful protest.
The pity is that, instead of peacefully protesting, herself, Ms. Good (R.I.P.) played vigilante — perhaps meaning well (but don’t they all?). Not a martyr. Renee Good was a progressive operative attempting to block officers of the law from enforcing duly established federal immigration law. Those laws and that enforcement are proper subjects of debate and protest — we had an election — but not subterfuge, as a certain disgraced judge in Milwaukee is learning while awaiting sentencing.
Ms. Good accelerated into the officer rather than obey his commands. As Waukesha learned a few Christmases ago, a motor vehicle can be a deadly weapon.
Righteous delusion
Tony Robinson Jr. fought the law here in Madison WI when he assaulted that police officer in the stairwell. So did Michael Brown Jr. in Ferguson MO trying to disarm a police officer responding to his crime. Same with MAGA-crazed Ashli Babbitt — last seen busting glass January 6, 2001 at the spearpoint of an insurrectionist horde chanting “Hang Mike Pence.” Graduate level F*k Around & Find Out.
The self-righteous Left can take some credit for Ms. Good’s demise. The Resistance (as it fashions itself) sanctions guerrilla tactics in its multifarious “struggle” — whether pulling down statues of slavery abolitionists here in Madison or setting fire to Kenosha over its arrest of a (supposedly oppressed) child abductor.
Jacob Frey can spray the F-bomb all he wants. His Minneapolis — a sanctuary city like Madison — won’t allow immigration agents access to the criminals in its jails. Won’t send its uniformed officers to keep the peace on the streets during immigration enforcement. (But they want to investigate the aftermath of their dereliction.) Swimming in so much self-righteousness, Renee Good gets it into her head that she can frustrate federal authority and takes a bullet there instead.

Blaska’s Bottom Line: Just to show (like that producer in the Godfather), that Blaska is not a hard-hearted man, that it’s not all dollars and cents, we deplore the photograph some heartless bastard posted on social media of the woman’s Honda, its crash bag deployed and spattered with blood.
“This is what we voted for,” he brayed. He can go to hell.
We wish Renee Good had not been shot. We wish that Trump’s immigration enforcement was not so in your face (so to speak). We wish the woman had not been so foolish as to attempt to run down a man with a gun.

Civil settlements for the families:
Tony Robinson- 3 million
Ashli Babbit – 5 million
Justine Damond – 20 million
I figure Good will be around 10 million.
We wish Biden’s open borders had never happened.
Your three examples sued Democrats. I figure Renee Good will be around $0.00
I screwed it up. Be sure to start it back at the beginning, sorry.
The family of the victim can sue the shooter. There are limits to his immunity.
Come on, it’s Minnesota. George Floyd got 27 million and he died of a heart attack in custody.
They don’t sue Minnesota; they’d have to sue the federal government.
400 million for a ballroom. 110 million so far for golf. Pockets lined by oil companies. $800.00 gold sneakers, gold phones. Crypto coins from entire family. Who exactly is the grifter here?
yup, Biden caused this latest problem. the dems will not admit that, it’s still “Trump’s fault.”
Honestly, Dave, I thought you were better than this. You have seen the videos, and you are drinking the Trump-Noem-Vance-Patel- MAGA Kool-Aid regarding Renee Good….even though you seem to be (mostly) a Never Trumper. She was trying to move her car out of the way. The agent made a bad tactical mistake: he stood in front of her car. He over-reacted, and should be held accountable. But this administration holds nobody accountable except the opposition. This country has become a police state. Let’s call it what it is.
No, she was told to exit the vehicle.
You are right. So what? It doesn’t justify the use of deadly force. This has been repeatedly litigated. His cold-blooded murder of Good, even if she was instructed to exit the vehicle, is contrary to case law and DHS policy.
Best you read more case law. Start with “Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S. 386 (1989)”. Afterwards, time for a nap.
@Hammer of Cheddar, I’m familiar with Graham v. Connor, and it’s a good reason why he should be arrested and locked up without bail until his trial. Given the objective facts in this situation, it’s going to be a heavy lift for him to show that his murder of Good was objectively reasonable. Let’s start with the fact that he put himself in jeopardy, which is an important consideration. Also, he was standing on the side of the vehicle, out of harm’s way, when he fired all three shots. A few seconds after murdering her, he called her a “fucking bitch.” He’s the fucking bitch and should rot in hell.
No. She was screamed at to “GET THE F#%@% OUT OF THE CAR!!! by a masked man waving a gun at her with more armed men around her.
Odd, ICE doesn’t have the right to detain American citizens. Then there’s the issue of DHS policy of the use of force, but whatever.
Yeah, she was going to move the car out of the way, but she just wanted to scare him a little for fun. Unfortunately she did scare him, but it wasn’t fun.
Please, Peter McKeever, “She was trying to move her car out of the way.” You have no basis whatsoever for knowing what she was trying to do. More importantly, the ICE agent had no idea either. She had been leaning on her horn and disrupting traffic for several minutes. Her partner urged her to drive baby drive. So, she drove. In less than a second, she hit the officer and he fired. You have no basis for saying you know what any of them were thinking. What I do know is this. She dropped her kid off at school, put herself in a HIGHLY dangerous situation, and left that kid high and dry for the rest of his life just to make her stand. It is that which makes me judge her harshly, not any of the willy self-assured claims and counterclaims of video-clip watchers, none of whom have any basis for knowing what the people involved saw or did not see in a split-second showdown that should never have happened, but that she chose. I am sorry she got killed. But there are a million people in the streets of Iranian cities now all of whom I care about more. Think the evening news will get around to any of them? to all those weeping copious tears for Renee Good, and as the bard once said, “take away the rag from your face, now ain’t the time for your tears.”
“She hit the officer and he fired….”. This is not true, Jonathan. The video shows Renee turning her vehicle to the right in an attempt to drive away before the goon kills her.
Worried about the mass protests in Iran, Jonathan? Your concern for suffering humanity is touching. Save some of that for protesters here in America who are exercising their constitutional right peacefully to assemble and are getting shot for their efforts.
But Dementia Don said he supports the protesters in Iran and is willing to go to war for them. Ready to attack countries in South America. Told Patel to fire FBI agents. Fire Powell. Wonder why he has a 36% approval rating? Killed the Kennedy Center. Wants to cancel midterms and serve a 3rd term. It’s time to work on my rock throwing skills.
Ah, yes. The Madness of King Don. The world is like a video arcade to him. Soon he’ll be buying up real estate on the moon. In the event it turns out this is no joke, someone will need to remind the old orange fart that there is no gravity or atmosphere up there.
But I digress…. 🤣
Sometimes you can’t see the forest for the trees. You have many facts wrong and ignore many others, including case law and policy on the use of deadly force by DHS personnel. The person using f-bombs we should be concerned about is the shooter, who is a cold-blooded murderer. Calling her a “fucking bitch” immediately after shooting her in cold blood, in the face, and at point-blank range. This, after she cheerily told him she wasn’t angry with him and clearly tried to steer around him. He should be arrested and locked up without bail. Fucking bitch is right. He should rot in hell. This is Orwellian, and he’s evil.
I can see that you’ve already swallowed the false propaganda as if it’s fact. Maybe you should put on your critical thinking cap and try again.
LOL, what facts do I have wrong? We have a president and a secretary of Homeland Security who are flat-out lying.
LOL, Alex. We don’t have a “Secretary of Homeland Security” (a sham Cabinet position). What we have is dog-killer and fashion victim Kristi Noem running around the nation spewing lies, a skill she may have acquired from master prevaricator DJT.
Again, as with Peter, none of us can see the forest for the trees in this incident. On the basis of slow-mo endless reexamining of tiny video clips (the “trees”) a thousand people see a thousand different things, none of which are the “forest” as the participants lived or died through it. I say get off your high horse about it and ask yourself what Renee Good and here ICE Watch fanatics were doing in the middle of the street to begin with. THAT’S the “forest.”
Jonathan: You are saying it’s OK to kill protesters. That makes you a member of the great American death cult.
There is no telling what a fool believes.
She was waving at cars to go around her. They want you to believe she hit him with the car, but he still had time to video everything with his cell phone. Never dropped it, kept it in focus and walked away. I want to see the hospital report on the injures he claimed to have suffered. What hospital did he go too? What doctor? What treatment? She hit that pole because she had a bullet in her head. Headlight didn’t even crack. Doctor on the scene was pushed away from her and threatened. The state has been cut out of the investigation, and the shooter is gone. Babbit was rioting and smashing her way into the capital. You claim she was a tourist. Mother of 3 shot in her car…domestic terrorist. This ICE story is pure bull#$@#.
Leftists hate ICE because ICE is deporting their illegal voting block. They are stoking riots now to distract from the rampant fraud they use to support the illegals. I feel bad for Ms Good being used as a useful idot by them. She f*cked around and found out.
OK, Judge Dredd. FAFO is a flip remark. It’s not a justification for the LEO murdering her. If it is, there should have been a lot of January 6 rioters who should have been shot and killed.
What a piece of shit. There is so much wrong with this video. Here’s a partial list:
He ignores that the LEO put himself in jeopardy, contrary to policy.
He ignores the driver’s comments to the LEO just a few seconds prior to him shooting her, which clearly show she’s relaxed and calm.
He ignores that the LEO fired all three shots when he was on the side of the vehicle, out of harm’s way.
He ignores that the vehicle accelerated after she was shot, which was an involuntary reaction to being shot.
He ignores DHS policy on the use of force.
He ignores case law on the use of force and shooting vehicles.
The Law Enforcement Officer “put himself in jeopardy”? Well, of course he did! Every police officer, sheriff’s deputy, FBI DEA ICE agent, every fire fighter and first responder put themselves in danger every day. But here comes Alex to defame the police.
David, you said: We wish the woman had not been so foolish as to attempt to run down a man with a gun. Trying to run down an ICE agent with or without a gun is a really dumb idea. We cannot know her intentions and the videos are not definitive, but common sense suggests that she was not trying to run anybody down.
What does “common sense” have to do with it? Do you really think Mizz Good was using “common sense”?
Yeah I don’t think common sense really comes into play but I don’t think she was trying to run him down. Rather she was responding to her wife’s directive to “Drive baby drive”. It’s pretty obvious who wore the pants in that relationship. Renee was a puppet of her wife.
Funny how this violence only occurs in “sanctuary” cities. If ICE could arrest illegals in jail there would be no violence.
Why does ICE have to capture and deport these illegals in the first place?
Who’s fault is that?
Joe Biden let them in. Everyone forgets Obama deported 2.7 million in his 8 years.
There it is!!!!! BIDEN DID IT. Took long enough for that to come out.
Biden didn’t know what F he was doing, but democrats wanted voting chaos in the next elections so they could maintain their foot on the neck of the American people. So they opened the border like the kittle boy open the gate and let all the wolfs in.
You mean, ‘”Whose”‘fault is that?” Use the possessive. Ain’t ya had no learnin’, madisonexpat?
To be called ignorant by Anonymous is an acknowledgement of my genius.
Renee Good was practicing peaceful civil disobedience. She committed the cardinal sin of talking back to the armed officer by mouthing the peaceful words “I’m not mad at you.” She attempted to slowly drive from the scene; the goon stepped in front of the vehicle and fired several times into it, killing Renee Good. Jonathan Ross’s response afterwards: “Fucking bitch.”
This is a case of cold-blooded murder writ large. Officer Ross will probably never be arrested for the crime of murder but I believe he will one day be held accountable, somehow.
There is no telling what a fool will believe.
And you believe Noem and Dementia Don?
Big hairy “madisonexpat”: I stand by my words. What do YOU believe about this topic?
Yeah. Anonymously.
He believes whatever Hannity tells him.
“There is no telling what a fool will believe.”
Are you referring to anyone we know, expat?
Only if the shoe fits. And it does.
Leftists hate ice because ice is deporting their illegal voting block. They’re also fomenting civil unrest to provide cover for the fraud investigations; money which is used to support the illegals. I feel bad for Ms. Good being deployed as a useful idiot for the cause. She f***** around and found out.
People are missing something here: Nowhere do I justify this poor woman’s killing; nor do I condemn the I.C.E. agent. I do point out the foolishness, illegality, and potential danger of impeding a law enforcement exercise, which clearly was Renee Good’s purpose.
How “foolish” is it for ICE to send armed agents to a high school. Waving guns at students and faculty. My grandkids went to that school. Do they have a right to be on school property?
“Does law enforcement have the right to be on school property?” That such a question would even occur to you illustrates why Kamala Harris/Tim Walz lost.
Dave, I didn’t know you were a mind reader. Who is going to win the 2026 World Series?
She shouldn’t have been there and at home waiting for her children coming home from school – it was during the week, ya know
get off my lawn.
It is leftist arrogance that expects the privilege of challenging, defying, heckling, and threatening law enforcement while being held harmless of any consequences. It’s no wonder the schools they control are microcosms of their own lawless attitudes.
I do not yet know if this was a justified shooting. I do know that Renee Good would be alive today if she had chosen to air her grievances in a peaceful protest instead of in the face of armed law enforcement.
Renee was exercising her Constitutional right to engage in peaceful protest. When people are being gunned down in the streets by roving bands of thugs under orders from an amoral regime, civil disobedience is called for.
Peaceful protest is not synonymous with challenging, defying, heckling, threatening, and assaulting law enforcement. Every moron with half a brain understands that. People who don’t like our immigration laws can march, sing, and chant their empty heads off in public places while obeying law enforcement at the same time. The minute you get aggressive with armed law enforcement, your chances of getting hurt go through the roof, and that’s backed up by every statistic on violent police encounters.
Might surprise you to know that I have younger friends who participated in the BLM protests in 2020. Even as teenagers, they knew to get out of dodge when the sun went down so as not to get caught up with the deranged elements. Appalling that some leftist adults don’t have that common sense.
Thanks, dad! Your glib rationalization doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. We’ve fought wars to escape this type of government tyranny. If what she did justifies him shooting her three times in the head, we’re fucked. Life as we know it is over.
We’ve fought wars to stop the enforcement of laws that were approved by legislators that the electorate voted for? When?
Using deadly force when someone believed their life to be in danger, even if that belief turned out to be false, has already been justified in stand your ground laws. I will wait for the courts to determine if the same holds up here.
Your commentary here so far suggests you aren’t much one for rationality. And if your parents taught you that defying law enforcement is alright, then you’re all in trouble.
Mordecai The Red, that’s not what I said. Good straw man fallacy, though.
No straw man there, you called it tyranny. Show me how tyranny is synonymous with enforcing on-the-books laws passed by a democratically elected legislature.
“Roving band of thugs” is a great description of anti-ICE agitators. Never ceases to amaze how willing people are to be useful idiots for a cause that fundamentally is at odds with them. Pathetic.
Dementia Don to Iranian protestors…FIGHT ON. HELP IS ON THE WAY. To America…RECONING AND RETRIBUTION. He claims to now be the President of Venezuela. Which flag will be on the planes when they bomb Greenland? Funny that the big oil zillionaires told donny to take his oil and cook some fries. TRUMP IS INSANE.
useful idiots…like all the people at a Maga rally.
Off topic, but funny. Dementia Don going after Powell for cost over-runs???? a 200m ballroom is now 400m. He tanked more businesses than 1929. His own party is now giving him crap over this. The upside is exposing how corrupt the DOJ is. Is this now the time the GOP finds the balls they lost?
Alex, what part of “enforce the law” is hard for you to comprehend?
When it infringes on the public’s constitutional rights.
Name the law that does that or admit your lie.
I wasn’t referring to a law.
Madisonexpat, when it exceeds their authority and infringes on the public’s constitutional rights.
Yes you were referring to a law. “When it (the law) infringes on the public’s constitutional rights.”
What else could you possibly be referring to?
Or you admit a second lie.
No, that isn’t what I was saying.
When it [an LEO’s actions] infringes on the public’s constitutional rights.
The part where they think it’s OK to shoot unarmed Americans in the head 3 times. Yeah, That part. Eleven of the DOJ’s lawyers just quit over this BS. I assume you believe that all these people know the law since they all worked for Dementia Don who said he only hires the best and smartest people.
A speeding SUV can never be a weapon. Everyone in Waukesha agrees, right?
In a democracy,
When 70% of Americans oppose deporting productive aliens without criminal records,
Yet Trump ignores the people and 70% of those he has ICE deport have no records,
Then all true patriots will protest to peacefully obstruct Trump’s anti-democratic regime.
What part of enforce the law do you not understand?
expat: What part of the constitutional right of the people to assemble peacefully do you not understand?
What part of the constitutional right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness do you not understand?
What part of the constitutional due process consideration for immigrants rather than blasting them into kingdom come do you not understand?
P.S. I was going to mention respect for human dignity but that quaint notion may be a stretch for your simple mind, expat. 😃
Peter, if you’re here illegally, that makes you a criminal.
And if you’re a criminal you are subject to arrest and punishment.
Jebus, its likle talking to children.
Enforce the LAW.
