The woman shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis on Wednesday was Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had recently moved to Minnesota.

She was a U.S. citizen born in Colorado and appears to never have been charged with anything involving law enforcement beyond a traffic ticket.

In social media accounts, Macklin Good described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom.” She said she was currently “experiencing Minneapolis,” displaying a pride flag emoji on her Instagram account. A profile picture posted to Pinterest shows her smiling and holding a young child against her cheek, along with posts about tattoos, hairstyles and home decorating.

    Ugh. Watch the video and make up your own mind. The ice agent took a shot to maim and kill the driver, not to incapicate the vehicle. Noem called her a terrorist and accused her of ‘weaponizing her vehicle’. Fuck every one of them, and everyone that allowed the orange rapist into office.

      Shooting the driver of a vehicle doesn’t stop the vehicle. There is literally never a reason to kill a driver, especially in a populated area where the vehicle becomes a deadly projectile.

      Trump won (twice) because Bernie was going to raise taxes.

      The shitbird neoliberals and conservatives that got us into this mess only care about money.

      Even the MAGA asshole I asked about this said “I don’t know why they didn’t just shoot the tires out”.

      For the record, that’s fucking insane as well. Why destroy someone’s property? But no… The situation is that they fucking killed a woman by shooting her in the fucking face after stepping in front of her fucking car, and after threatening her, and surrounding her, and after telling her to leave. So she left… And died. And that was the solution that wanted. Her, the MAGA people, and everyone that supports ICE. I’m not misleading you… This is how they feel.

      That same person I asked said they thought she deserved it. They said they saw a video (not the videos), and they thought she tried to kill the ice agent. That’s how they all feel. All of them. The people that made flags all over America go half mask for a month over a Nazi think this woman deserved it.

      AND WE are this woman… She’s us.

      That’s yet another bit I hadn’t even thought about. The end result of his action was that the car continued, with no conscious driver and its accelerator held, directly into a parked car. Imagine if there had been other people standing there.
