Dumb or dumber

I just read one of the columnists I read every week and this week’s column was titled “Why can’t we speak ill of the dead?”

Well, my mind went immediately to the woman that stopped traffic in Minneapolis and was shot by an ICE agent after allegedly trying to run him over. Dumb.

The woman, Renee Good, was seen following ICE agents all morning of the day she died. With that, she honked her horn to create a nuisance, and I’m guessing, alert those whom ICE was looking for that they were in the area. Bad idea, to say the least.

Aljazeera.com reports, “United States Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has described the actions of Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis woman killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on Wednesday, as “domestic terrorism”.

“Noem said Good refused to obey orders to get out of her car, “weaponise[d] her vehicle” and “attempted to run” over an officer.”

Media sources report Good was an activist that allegedly traveled to spots to create ill-will and discontent for causes such as ‘get ICE out’, etc.

This is a head-scratcher event. Never in my life, adolescent or adult, have I ever wanted to confront law enforcement over anything. My method of confrontation seems to lie in the courts through legal methods extracting information deemed reliable and legal.

The thought of stepping in front of a law enforcement officer that is facing an angry crowd and thinking something bad won’t happen is non-existent in my brain. 

Law enforcement personnel want to go home to their loved ones, and activists don’t realize that law enforcement faces life or death situations every day. So, when a nitwit drives into an officer, the thought of a fully-loaded, cocked semi-auto handgun going off into their body, should be up front and center in their tiny little left-leaning brains.

As an average American, I appreciate ICE entering communities to rid them of dangerous illegal immigrants. I don’t think leaving child pedophiles from other countries to rape and pillage our young is a good idea. 

I also don’t think it’s a good idea that we have almost 80 percent of the Somali population on welfare with 78 percent of the crime in an area being committed by that group. The numbers are staggering; last I heard approximately $16 billion in fraud was committed by Somali people running non-existent daycares – embezzling the American people and Minnesotans, in particular.

So, to see that dingdong drive into an ICE agent to stop them from doing their job goes against my grain. I don’t want to see people killed, but dumb is dumb and that woman had a huge case of it. Her desire to be an activist got her killed; and, she left her three children without their mother.

Think ahead people. When you’re following law enforcement around hindering their duties, that is a felony. Using your car as a weapon is a felony. Spitting on law enforcement officers is a crime; and people are getting arrested for it – finally.

Fox host Laura Ingrahm did a segment with a protest group. One of them admitted she was on the payroll; well, how Ingrahm asked it and the answer left more questions that need to be explored. It’s been speculated since Trump I that activists were on the payroll from someone with deep pockets. Ads in online platforms sought recruits and offered training for those wishing to protest.

Well, now one of their recruits was killed – maybe part 2 of the training needs to be given.

Meanwhile, be smart. Don’t follow law enforcement, don’t impede traffic in areas they are working, don’t follow them honking your horn incessantly, and above all, don’t use your car as a weapon. Bullets do go through windshields and brains aren’t made to withstand one of them.
