It doesn’t even necessarily matter what she was or wasn’t. It’s kind of irrelevant.
She tried to wave a car by, like we’ve all done a million times, then two MASKED MEN got out of their UNMARKED TRUCK holding GUNS and one tried to REACH INTO HER VEHICLE TO OPEN THE DOOR.
The fuck would you do?
They weren’t there for her. They had no reason to interact with her.
She could have had a rap sheet a mile long, doesn’t matter.
Just like poor George Floyd
Who cares if she was an activist. Nothing what happened that day merits an execution.
The administration is characterizing her as an activist and an agitator, in order to try to retroactively justify her killing.
This story is putting the lie to that statement.
Our problem is the mainstream media that most of America gets their news and information from are all bought by the same donor-class that owns the government, and they are RIGHT NOW having “experts” on the daytime talk shows and news programs telling viewers that Good struck an agent with her car and that “maybe” “some” of the gunshots to her head were unnecessary but that more investigation is needed.
Do not trust that people will use their eyes. People don’t see with their eyes. All of our perceptions of the world are filtered through our feelings, and for most people, it feels too inconvenient to believe this horrendous act was what it actually was, because that would mean having to do something, having to sacrifice time and energy to get involved, to seek justice.
Nobody wants to do that anymore. People want to hide inside and scroll.

Yeah the right to be an activist is one of our most foundational rights as Americans.
incorrect
the murderer who puts himself in harm’s way, got out of that way, and then pulled a gun and shot a woman in the face, that deserves execution
According to the “expert” they had on Good Morning America, the ICE agent was “struck” by Good’s vehicle, but it’s actually only the second and third gunshots to this innocent woman’s head that were not justified.
I hope you all have a high tolerance for rage-inducing injustice, because this is going to be one of those “Don’t Look Up” moments where half the world is told to just LOOK AT THE FUCKING VIDEO and people will ignore you and form movements to NOT look at the video.
I have no perscription or advice how to deal with this. But I do know it’s going to get a LOT worse before it starts to get better and we may not all see that day.
Hopefully the only way it gets worse will be a bunch of people getting together to do things like this. Oh darn, apparently mods deleted it. But it was a logical comment that proposed a logical solution.
Fun Fact, if you hit the drop-down by the breadcrumbs under a username you can read a user’s moderation history and see what they said that got removed 🤓
While morally I cannot agree with the take, I would LOVE to see people even halfway motivated to take their marches directly to the seats of power. There are only a couple dozen thousand ICE agents in the whole country, we outnumber them by MILLIONS and could literally drag them off the streets, pull off their gear and tie them up and like, stash them in our basements with a bike lock around the neck Breaking Bad style and stop the injustice tomorrow if we all unified. (We feed them sandwiches on plastic plates though, lesson learned.)
Mmm sandwiches you say? You’re almost makin’ me want to join ice 😋
I will only feed my agent cheap ass bologna with too much mustard and a single, small wilted lettuce leaf.
Ok nevermind. I don’t wanna be an ICEman anymore.
Yeah the nazi’s on my local nextdoor keep calling her a “paid anti-ice demostrator” or that she is a paid antifa actress or some BS.
They refuse to use their eyes and ears and just stay in their fantasy land of unseasoned meals and fox news.
“Good was new to the area”
She didn’t know the area, had just dropped her kid off at school, got caught up by the Gestapo, got (rightfully) scared, tried to swerve around it all…and then got shot in the head three times.
Oh, and they’ve found out the guys name who did it btw.Jonathan Ross.
Everyone should know.
Who would have thought that giving a bunch of barely literate bigots guns, and telling them they can do anything they want without consequences, would lead to one of those power tripping bigots murdering somebody for absolutely no fucking reason?
This was totally unforeseeable.
If ya’ll are hoping “this is it” and that we’re going to see any kind of justice, I’m sorry to tell you that this will also blow over after you read and hear some of the most vile, lying bullshit you can imagine.
I mean, unless everyone actually does something, but half of this country is still to scared to piss off the other half.
I’m really tired of this attitude.
School? you mean INSTITUTION OF WOKE INDOCTRINATION.
ORGANIZE PROTEST STRIKES IN ALL WORKPLACES!!! FIGHT THIS TERROR WITH UNITY!!! DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF THE ARRESTED PEOPLE!!! DEMAND THE DISSOLUTION OF THE ICE AND THIS GOV !!!
STRIKE!!! STRIKE!!! STRIKE!!!
Bring the entire economy of AMERICA to a standstill for one day:
the shipyards, factories, workshops, offices and banks, municipal services, and public works!!MAKE YOUR DEMANDS CLEAR EVERYWHERE: FORCE THE ICE SCUM OUT, IMPEACH TRUMP, PUT HIM IN JAIL, AND BREAK THE STRANGLEHOLD OF BILLIONAIRE (TECH) POWER OVER OUR GOV, TAX THE RICH, FAIR WAGES AND NATIONAL HEALTHCARE!!!
STAND UNITED!! BE COURAGEOUS!! FIGHT PROUDLY FOR THE LIBERATION OF OUR COUNTRY!!!
Friends: Pass this manifesto on after reading it.I already started my strike, in that i don’t buy from corporations, don’t pay rent to one, and don’t work for one, but where can we go to organize a strike on a mass scale? So far I’ve found two really good ones…
And “workers strike back”
Are there any others?
Don’t forget to set up strike funds for yourself and perhaps those in need!
You first.
I will, if you follow me

That would be actually a very effective demonstration. Like what would they do? Shooting around and kill civis and ICE solders?
Whoops I mislabeled my video post before then, time to do some retconning
Nothing will get done until the US deprograms itself thinking that things like Civil Wars are started by the Confederate side, that the US is indivisible (ask the colonies what they would have thought about that), or that the only people who obsess about the founding principles and the constitution, one that is now being ignored and just treated like an interpretive piece of art work like the bible, are only those Conservative guys. You’ve slowly been programmed into equally abusable extremes.
If the unconstitutionality and flagrant abuse of the current government isn’t enough to get states to begin planning their own opposition cohesively, nothing is going to stop this, and that’s where this is heading. In a government where the two most powerful branches, the Executive and the Judicial, are completely corrupt, when the turnover in federal agencies has been almost absolute, where the Executive constantly ignores and bypasses legislation from the Legislative branch, hoping for a majority in what is only a part of the legislative is not going to work out. Even if they had the entire Legislative, it would not work out. It’s the now completely corrupt federal agencies the ones who would be in charge of any attempts at impeachment. It’s sad to see the entire opposition get led by such a pale example of a carrot because the alternative might require something more than career politicians from the old class oligarchy.
Remember, this didn’t just happen. It was brought about by tech billionaires backing Trump, each paying him 1 million dollars just to stand behind him on inauguration day, by the Heritage foundation, by wealthy people like JD Vance, and the rest of the administration. This was enabled by a class of people without morals and compassion, who do not care for your country.
I hate my country.
Quick reminder to anyone reading, since the other reply here implied implications about what is to be done: whatever your opinions on violence may be you should never, under any circumstances, suggest that yourself or others should or will commit violent or illegal acts in your own country or countries that your country has extradition treaties with.
The revolution will not happen on Lemmy or any other public forum. You can only hurt yourself and your fellow travelers by posting violent threats or incitement to other illegal activity. Do not post credible threats. The cops can and will show up at your house.
I hate about thirty million people in this country.
Why such a small number?
🎵 America! FUCK NO!
America’s here to ruin the motherfuckin’ day! 🎵
Being an activist ≠ ok to be killed.
Or am I just being confused by poor wording in title?
She wasn’t what they said she was. She was just a mom dropping her kid off at school. Still confused?
In case anyone didn’t see, there were tons of reactionaries online saying that she was an activist and “fuck around and find out” etc. Just the most disgusting craven nonsense imaginable.
Regardless of what excuse the ICE fascist make, there is ZERO reason he should have pulled out his gun and shot her.
He didn’t want to get run over? Well how is killing the driver going to stop the car from moving?
He didn’t want to get run over?
Maybe he shouldn’t have gotten out of his unmarked vehicle wearing a mask and brandishing a weapon and approaching someone’s car and reaching into it to open the door when a woman who was pulling into the street stopped and waved at them to pass.
All good points. You shouldn’t be allowed to detain anybody if you are not properly identified as law enforcement.
Other wise it’s kidnapping and they should be allowed to protect themselves any way possible. I doubt this country will buy that argument though.
Yea shits all fucked up with this. I mean when he merced her, as you would expect with somebody already accelerating, she went limp and hammered down into a parked car. If she was trying to hit him when he fired and he was in her line of travel, he would have been split in half as she smacked into whatever’s in front of her. If he feared for his life he would have rolled out of the way and engaged in pursuit after. This is an untrained, trigger happy goon that did not join ice to deport people for any of the right reasons. This is somebody that joined from the get to get “me liberul blood” on their hands with the full backing and faith of the us govt. Not only is it legal for them to take the life of their political opponents, but they make something to the tune of 100k to do it. Calling them political assassins is just being accurate, I mean this pig just did his country a favor by offing a “domestic terrorist” in their eyes.
They’re all untrained goons. Top to bottom. That’s the problem here.
The last point is really not an argument - even if he ended up getting killed too. You could, for example, say he wanted to save others and make him an hero.
Maybe. All the comments I see defending him call it self defense. I don’t think anybody was considering she would continue aiming for other ice agents.
