ICEd: “You’re killing my neighbors” 

There is a distinct difference between political disagreement and a community breaking point.

This clip is circulating right now. It isn’t a pundit in a green room. It is the raw, unpolished sound of the levee breaking.

“You’re killing my neighbors. You’re stealing my neighbors. What the fuck, man?”

That isn’t a partisan slogan. That is a human scream.

Is this the sound of America snapping?


We are breaking down the Minnesota fallout, the ICE raids, and the breaking point.

    What America is Clicking: January 8, 2026, 5:18 AM ET

    1. The Incident: A comprehensive overview of the fatal shooting of a motorist by an ICE agent in South Minneapolis, including the timeline of events. PBS News
    2. The Victim: Authorities and family members have identified the woman killed as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a poet and mother originally from Colorado. Colorado Public Radio
    3. Official Defense: The Department of Homeland Security and ICE officials state the agent acted in self-defense, claiming the woman “weaponized her vehicle.” FOX 9 Minneapolis
    4. Governor’s Fury: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz rejects the official narrative as “propaganda” and calls the shooting a consequence of “governing by reality TV.” Washington Examiner
    5. City Response: In a blistering official statement, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey demands accountability and explicitly tells ICE agents to “Get the f*** out of Minneapolis.” City of Minneapolis
    6. Trump’s Take: President Trump defends the agent on social media, characterizing the victim as a “professional agitator” who “viciously ran over” the officer. CBS News Minnesota
    7. Troop Deployment: Anticipating further unrest, Governor Walz has issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard for deployment. Washington Examiner
    8. The Context: The shooting occurs amidst the deployment of 2,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities for what ICE calls its “largest immigration operation ever.” PBS News

  3. using terms like “domestic violent terrorist…. unlawful obstructionist” {inaccurate though they are against Renee Good the victim of ICE shooting) seems to be an effort to lay the groundwork to invoke the Insurrection Act.
    according to PBS’ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-is-the-insurrection-act-heres-what-trump-has-said-about-using-it

    It can also be invoked against states’ wishes in some situations. That includes if the president deems that “unlawful obstruction” or rebellions make it impossible to enforce federal law through ordinary judicial proceedings, or if “insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” deprive people of their constitutional rights. State authorities must either fail, refuse or be unable to protect the rights of its inhabitants for the act to apply.

    Key words like “insurrection,” “domestic violence” and “unlawful obstruction” are not explicitly defined in the Insurrection Act, allowing a president flexibility in when to use the law. The 1827 Supreme Court case Martin v. Mott affirmed that the president has broad discretion in their interpretation of the act’s statutory language.

    Gov Walz imploring folks “don’t take the bait” but only protest peacefully, by calling up the National Guard and insuring Minneapolis authorities beef up municipal police presence hopefully will counteract the Act’s trigger “State authorities must either fail, refuse or be unable to protect the rights of its inhabitants

    9 House Republicans defy Mike Johnson, join Dems to advance Obamacare extension vote

    Nine House Republicans bucked their party leaders on Wednesday evening to advance a vote on a Democrat-led healthcare bill.
    The nine GOP lawmakers’ support was key to pushing ahead on a vote to extend enhanced Obamacare subsidies that expired at the end of last year. A vote on the bill itself is now expected Thursday afternoon.
    It’s a blow to Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who argued for weeks that the majority of House Republicans were opposed to extending the COVID-19 pandemic-era tax subsidies.
    But a significant number of GOP moderates were frustrated that their party leaders in the House and Senate had done little to avert a price hike for millions of Americans’ insurance premiums.
    Four of them signed onto a discharge petition filed by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., last month aimed at forcing a vote on extending the subsidies for three years over House GOP leaders’ objections.
    […]
    Those four lawmakers — Reps. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., Rob Bresnahan, R-Pa., and Ryan Mackenzie, R-Pa. — were among the nine to vote for advancing Jeffries’ petition on Wednesday.
    At the time, they criticized leadership in both parties for not working toward a bipartisan solution earlier and said they were left with little choice in the matter.
    The other five lawmakers who voted to advance the petition were Reps. Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., Maria Salazar, R-Fla., David Valadao, R-Calif., Max Miller, R-Ohio, and Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J.
    The bill is expected to pass the House on Thursday, but it is all but certain to die in the GOP-controlled Senate. ]continues]

    US Senate to vote on bid to stop Trump from taking further military action in Venezuela

    The US Senate is expected to vote on Thursday on a long-shot attempt to prevent Donald Trump from taking further military actions against Venezuela, as Democrats press for answers following the raid that captured Nicolás Maduro.

    The war powers resolution, introduced by Democratic senator Tim Kaine, would require Trump to seek Congress’s permission before attacking or otherwise using the military against Venezuela. The president did not notify lawmakers before the Saturday raid that saw US special forces assault the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, and spirit Maduro to New York City, where he is facing an array of “narco-terrorism” charges.

    “After the administration’s actions over the weekend, which resulted in several injuries to US service members … Congress needs to tell the American public where it stands,” Kaine said in a Tuesday speech on the Senate floor.

  6. hey, you guys, cut Tony Dokoupil some slack about that Marco-is-the-ultimate-Florida-Man comment. he was DISSING him big time if one considers the common usage of the label:
    What does “Florida Man” mean? The phrase “Florida Man” refers to someone who exhibits absurd or foolish behavior. When referring to a “Florida Man”, it implies a person who engages in strange or nonsensical actions, often resulting in comical or bizarre situations.

  7. Sturg da cabinet builder, 4 of the last 5 houses we’ve bought had those cabinets in them – all but one in site-built birch plywood. The other had those wonderful metal cabinets from the 30s or 40s, with mid 70s laminate countertop cover overs and a genuine linoleum under mid 70s vinyl roll flooring floor in lovely shades of gold. Only one house survived a gut it all kitchen reno, and all those rollers and center bottom rails left in the back of trucks. What fun times.🙄

  8. Ivy, I’m with you on Bo Nix. He was a terrific QB at Auburn (dammit) and Oregon, and he’s doing well with the Broncos. And he’s from just around the corner from my backyard – Pinson HS. I hope to see him and Jalen face off on Feb. 8.

  9. Minneapolis is officially a powder keg.

    Mayor Frey is dropping F-bombs at federal agents, the Governor is calling the official ICE report “propaganda,” and 2,000 federal agents still swarming.

    Watch the 60-second breakdown here:

  10. This morning, the local ABC affiliate used ICE Barbie’s lie about her murder victim in MN, and local anchors saying there was chaos in MN overnight, as their advert for the news. That is all many will hear; the lies. Shame on ABC. We now CBS is now fascist slop. I’ll be glad when Colbert closes up shop; I can delete that channel entirely.

  11. Unless I missed something, Chris Hayes did get carried away on Colbert last night. He said her partner and dog were in the car.

  12. Yes, and her partner was then sitting on the sidewalk with the dog, sobbing.

    At least nobody is talking about the US dropping out of 66 organizations…or sending military aircraft to the UK to stage the overthrow of Greenland…or EPSTEIN.

  13. Since 9/11 our law enforcement has been trained to think of themselves as the victims, not the protectors.

    JD Vance warns ICE will be going ‘door-to-door’ just hours after woman shot in face and killed

    “A lot of these ICE agents that we have hired in the past six months they’re not even done with training, so all the big investments we’ve made at border security.” (Incomplete sentence)

    “What we’ve actually done is get 2.8 million illegal aliens out without all the really big issues we’ve been working on. That was just simple will-power with the President of the United States saying this is done.”

    “I think if we’re to see those deportation numbers ramp up as we get more and more people online working for ICE going from door-to-door making sure if you’re an illegal alien you’re going to have to get out of this country and if you want to comeback apply through the proper channels.”

    The Department of Homeland Security said on Saturday that more than 12,000 new officers have joined ICE as part of a broader recruitment push.

    Tom Høyem, Copenhagen’s last permanent representative in Greenland, said Trump would have to get approval to buy the island from U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer—because of an agreement made in 1917.

    This undertaking exists because Canada, which is only a few miles from Greenland, was still part of the British Empire at the time—although it was self-governing.

    Trump has threatened to take control of Greenland with military force or economic action, declaring the autonomous territory of Denmark an “absolute necessity.” Greenland’s Prime Minister Múte Egede has insisted it is “not for sale” and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the idea “absurd” in 2019, when Trump made the suggestion during his first term.

    “I think we’re going to have it,” Trump said on Saturday in the press room of the presidential plane, only days after newspapers reported that Frederiksen had told him the island was not for sale. “I think the people want to be with us,” the president added.
    “I don’t really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t allow that to happen because it’s for the protection of the free world,” Trump told reporters.

  16. As a Minnesotan and a citizen of the metro area, this whole situation is gut-wrenching. We have been through so much in the last 5 years, and it feels like the Orange Administration is just using us as a punching bag. What they do not understand is that we will not back down. We will fight for justice for Renee Good.

  17. On twit – posted by Tristan Snell
    Remember when we said that Project 2025 clearly laid out how Trump was going to turn ICE from a border-focused immigration enforcement agency into a national secret police force answerable only to Trump as his own personal Gestapo, operating everywhere with impunity?

    Need to fight to regain the U.S. from the white nationalists/fascists.

    US military deploy more aircraft to UK bases amid Greenland annexation threats

    Ten C-17 Globemasters and two heavily armed AC-130J landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk in recent days, according to The Daily Mail.

    These aircraft often join forces in covert US operations overseas.

    It comes as Donald Trump has said he is “very serious” about annexing Greenland despite warnings it would spell the end for NATO.

    Trump, 79, Demands Mass Arrests in Morning Rage Post
    TINY-HANDED TIRADE
    The president apparently wants to talk about anything other than an ICE agent’s killing of a Minnesota mother.

    Donald Trump has called for mass arrests among Minnesota’s Somali community as the state reels from the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old U.S. citizen by a federal immigration agent.
    “Arrest them all. They are criminals!!!” the president wrote on Truth Social early Thursday, linking to a story by right-wing outlet Just the News about cash transfers to Somalia from the Minneapolis airport.
    The Trump-friendly platform cited statistics from Homeland Security that purportedly showed “the cash moved overseas in luggage by Somali couriers from the Minneapolis airport was 10 to 100 times larger than the total foreign exodus of money at other larger American airports the last two years.”
    The report called this “substantially abnormal” and said it “should have raised red flags during the Biden administration.”
    Trump’s post comes just a day after Renee Nicole Good was shot dead in Minneapolis by an ICE agent sent to carry out immigration raids in the city, home to the largest Somali community in the United States.
    The president has repeatedly attacked that same community over the past several months, describing Somalia as “filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime” and those of Somali descent as “garbage.”
    Those attacks began to spiral outward across the MAGA movement after pro-Trump content creator Nick Shirley posted a video in December alleging widespread fraud centered on Somali-run daycare centers in Minnesota, claiming they have received millions in government funding while providing little to no services.
    His claims were quickly picked up and amplified by Trump allies, including Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk, with FBI Director Kash Patel announcing the diversion of fresh investigative resources to Minnesota to further probe the allegations.
    The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment on this story.

I told my constituents and Chicagoans that I would fight against Secretary Noem’s agenda. This is me fighting back.”

    Minnesota says it’s been pushed out from taking part in shooting probe with FBI
    State officials said the FBI is now solely leading the investigation into the deadly ICE shooting after they were denied access to the case materials.

    According to Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) Superintendent Drew Evans, in the wake of the shooting, the state and FBI were conducting a joint investigation, but that later that day, he said in a statement, “the FBI informed the BCA that the U.S. Attorney’s Office had reversed course: the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI, and the BCA would no longer have access to the case materials, scene evidence or investigative interviews necessary to complete a thorough and independent investigation.”

    Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. strike in January 2020 and is hailed as a national hero by the Islamic republic

    Soleimani’s statue pulled down as new clashes erupt in Iran over country’s economic situation

    The 12 days of protests have shaken the clerical authorities under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei already battling economic crisis after years of sanctions and recovering after the June war against Israel.

    The movement, which originated with a shutdown on the Tehran bazaar on December 28 after the rial plunged to record lows, has spread nationwide and is now being marked by larger scale demonstrations.

    Authorities have blamed unrest on “rioters” and the judiciary chief has vowed there would be “no leniency” in bringing them to justice.

    Reza Pahlavi, the son of the shah ousted by the 1979 Islamic revolution and a key exiled opposition figure, said that the turnout during Wednesday’s protests had been “unprecedented” and called for major new protests Thursday evening.

    He said in a message on social media he had received reports the “regime is deeply frightened and is attempting, once again, to cut off the internet” to thwart the protests.

    HRANA said according to its count protests had taken place in 348 locations over the last 11 days in all of Iran’s 31 provinces.

    Australia has called for its citizens to leave Iran on Wednesday amid the ongoing violent protests — as Tehran’s top Iran’s military chief threatened preemptive military action over President Trump’s threats against its regime.

    The nation urged its citizens to leave Iran “as soon as possible” and to avoid travel to the Islamic Republic altogether, citing the “ongoing violent nationwide protests that may further escalate without notice.”

    The order came after Maj. Gen. Amir Hatami warned that Iran would not stay quiet after Trump claimed that the US would launch military action if Tehran “violently kills peaceful protesters” spurred by the country’s ailing economy.

    “The Islamic Republic considers the intensification of such rhetoric against the Iranian nation as a threat and will not leave its continuation without a response,” Hatami said, according to the state-run IRNA news agency.

  27. Minnesota Nice just got a face full of tear gas.

    We went live to South Minneapolis where the “Find Out” phase is in full swing. A local mom is gone, the neighbors are screaming at federal agents, and we pulled the ICE fatality stats that the cable networks are glossing over.

    The reports originate from flight tracking data and had not been confirmed by official sources, including Russia’s foreign ministry, at the time of publication.

    Daily Iran News, a channel on X monitoring Middle East developments, asserted on Wednesday:

    “The Russian army is urgently evacuating the staff of the Russian embassy along with their families in Israel and returning them to Russia. This is the third flight by Russia in the past 24 hours to evacuate its embassy in Israel,” it wrote, attaching a screenshot from a flight tracking site ADS-B Exchange.

  29. @realDonald Trump
    Republicans should be ashamed of the Senators that just voted with Democrats in attempting to take away our Powers to fight and defend the United States of America. Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Rand Paul, Josh Hawley, and Todd Young should never be elected to office again. This Vote greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security, impeding the President’s Authority as Commander in Chief. In any event, and despite their “stupidity,” the War Powers Act is Unconstitutional, totally violating Article Il of the Constitution, as all Presidents, and their Departments of Justice, have determined before me.
    Nevertheless, a more important Senate Vote will be taking place next week on this very subject.

    A group of Republican senators delivered Donald Trump a message of opposition to begin the new year as they limited the president’s ability to launch new attacks on Venezuela.

    Five members of the president’s party broke ranks to support a War Powers Act resolution sponsored by Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat from Virginia, aimed at preventing the White House from using resources to support further military action inside Venezuela following the capture of the country’s leader Nicolas Maduro.

    One of them, Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), denied that his vote was not a rebuke of the president: “This is all about going forward. If the president should determine, you know what, I need to put troops on the ground in Venezuela, I think that wouldn’t require Congress.”

    *Vote (fist up) and run just like 1/6/20 Hawley.

  30. I’m beginning to like Mayor Frey.

    Keep in mind that the Senate vote was a vote to advance the legislation that would restore some say-so over war to the Congress. The vote on the “more important Senate Vote [that] will be taking place next week on this very subject” that dumbass mentioned is the Senate vote on the bill.

    Renee, splendid idea.

    And in legal news:

    Judge disqualifies U.S. attorney in Albany investigating Letitia James

    John A. Sarcone III is the fifth Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney who has been disqualified from serving in such a role.

    By Jeremy Roebuck and Shayna Jacobs

    A federal judge ruled Thursday that President Donald Trump’s acting U.S. attorney in Albany, New York, is unlawfully serving in his role and tossed subpoenas his office issued as part of an investigation into actions by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

    U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield concluded that John A. Sarcone III — a Trump loyalist appointed in March as interim U.S. attorney for the Northern District of New York — had served beyond the 120-day expiration date for that position and that the administration’s efforts to keep him beyond that deadline did not withstand legal scrutiny.

    He is the fifth Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney who has been disqualified from serving in such a role.

    This summer, Sarcone’s office served two subpoenas on James’s office signaling it had opened an investigation into some of James’s most high-profile work. The first sought information related to the successful civil fraud case James brought in 2022 against Trump and his real estate empire, accusing them of defrauding lenders with outsize claims of his wealth. The second centered on litigation James pursued against the National Rifle Association, which led to a court-mandated restructuring of the organization.

    The subpoenas indicated they were issued as part of criminal investigations and were signed by Sarcone. But by the time they were issued, Schofield concluded, Sarcone had already served beyond the legal 120-day limit for the interim job.

    “When the Executive branch of government skirts restraints put in place by Congress and then uses that power to subject political adversaries to criminal investigations, it acts without lawful authority,” Schofield wrote. “Subpoenas issued under that authority are invalid.”

    The judge quashed both subpoenas Thursday but did not bar federal prosecutors in Albany from reissuing them without Sarcone’s involvement.

    James had argued that they constitute a broad federal effort to improperly interfere in state affairs and are part of a continuing effort by Trump to use the Justice Department to harass his perceived foes. Schofield’s decision Thursday, however, turned on a different point: whether Sarcone had the authority to issue those subpoenas in the first place.

    “This decision is an important win for the rule of law, and we will continue to defend our office’s successful litigation from this administration’s political attacks,” a spokesperson for James’s office said.

    U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Ross, without identifying him by name, was injured after being dragged by the car of a fleeing driver last year.

    Federal court documents show the agent who shot Good was injured in the June incident where he used force against the driver of another moving vehicle in Bloomington, Minnesota.

    The agent got his arm stuck in the window of a vehicle of a driver who was fleeing arrest on an immigration violation, and was dragged roughly 100 yards down a street before he was knocked free. During the incident, the agent fired his Taser, and the prongs struck the driver but did not incapacitate him, according to prosecutors. He had cuts to his arm that required 50 stitches.

    *Were there two ICE goons dragged in MN last summer? Media connected the dots, but the dots were courtesy of Noem.

  42. https://newrepublic.com/post/205087/jd-vance-minnesota-ice-shooting-victim-brainwashed

    During a hostile White House press conference, Vance claimed that Good had been “brainwashed” by left-wing politics, and argued that the 37-year-old mother was to blame for her own death.

    “There’s a part of me that feels very, very sad for this woman. Not just because she lost her life but because I think that she is a victim of left-wing ideology,” Vance said.

    “What young mother shows up and decides they are going to throw their car in front of ICE officers that are enforcing legitimate law? You have to be brainwashed to get to that point to where you’re willing—not just to protest, that’s fine—but throw your vehicle in front of law enforcement officers,” he continued, adding that he believed “to get to that point you have to be radicalized in a very, very sad way.”

    But Vance insisted on excoriating reporters who verbally described the attack the way it was depicted.

    “You still believe that she deliberately tried to ram him despite this video?” prompted one incredulous reporter.

    “We’re not going to get the chance to ask this woman what was going on,” Vance replied. “But she accelerated in a way where she rammed into the guy.

    “Everybody that is repeating the lie that this is some innocent woman who was out for a drive in Minneapolis, when a law enforcement officer shot at her, you should be ashamed of yourselves,” he added.

  46. By the way, not a word about ICE’s murder victim in this house last night. Oh, but the rage over Charlie Kirk.

    JD got super-riled that he was being challenged at that presser, the miserable , little cuck.

  47. So, the fascists always send in agitators to try to rile things up more, to justify use of more force. They send in rioters to break a few things and burn a flag for the evening news.

    The media we relied on in the past now lies for the regime, or at least doesn’t contradict it.

    The only way to safely protest is to stay home, stop buying stuff, and basically only participate with community, not with systems.

    Stuff is about to go sideways all over the globe.

    UK keeps billions in Venezuelan gold reserves frozen at Bank of England after Maduro arrest
    Addressing Parliament on Jan. 5, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper suggested that because Britain does not recognize the current administration, the bullion is unlikely to be released.

  50. i’m widely-considered a troll and yet i have 10x the restraint and tact of these supposed “leaders”

    shameful, disgusting victim-blaming and on-the-fly revisionism

  51. Inspired by Kayteabear’s focus on this in our chat today I asked Silas to put this together:

    THE ICE BODY COUNT

    The raw numbers confirm the system is redlining.

    • 32 Deaths: Custodial fatalities hit a 20-year high in FY 2025 (up nearly 200% year-over-year).
    • 14 Shootings: Officer-involved incidents have spiked to 14 in just nine months, up from a historical average of three per year.
    • 1,150% Surge: Reported assaults on agents have exploded according to DHS data, creating a lethal feedback loop.

    We broke down the full dataset, the “weaponized vehicle” trend, and the 20-year context in our latest brief:

    THE ICE BODY COUNT

  52. NYT has a pretty thorough analysis of the shooting. Apologies to those who can’t get past the paywall.

    It debunks the “officer was hit by the car” lie. BTW – if the guy got dragged 100′ when he tried to break into and unlock a car and tazed a guy twice before he got wagged off the car 6 months ago, I just wonder whether he’s an untreated PTSD sufferer and is accordingly unfit for duty.

  53. It’s unfair to police to call ICE agents cops because they’re not, they’re a roving band of terrorists

    cops protect and serve, ICE antagonizes and enflames

  54. It’s not just Minneapolis.

    Portland Police confirmed two people were shot by federal agents (CBP) this afternoon. That makes two major federal shootings in less than 24 hours.

    The statistical “spike” we just documented isn’t just data anymore—it’s accelerating in real-time.

    “The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters (clergy and religious organisations), career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews.[4] Those arrested by the Gestapo were often held without judicial process…”

    *Sounds like ICE, and now they are going door to door, per JD. Which, weren’t they already doing that? Does JD mean everyone’s door, like trick-or-treaters but paramilitary?

  56. The German Nazi units that followed behind the regular army (Wehrmacht) to systematically murder civilian populations were called the Einsatzgruppen (German for “task forces” or “mobile killing squads”). These units were a key instrument of the Holocaust, primarily operating in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

    Border Patrol agent shoots 2 in Portland

    Two people were hospitalized on Thursday after a shooting involving U.S. Border Patrol agents in Portland, Ore., according to officials.

    DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said agents in Portland were attempting to conduct a “targeted vehicle stop” when a driver attempted to “weaponize” his vehicle.
    “Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot. The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene. This situation is evolving, and more information is forthcoming,” McLaughlin told The Hill in a statement.

    *I’ll believe it when I see it.

    Los Angeles community seeks justice for Black man killed by off-duty ICE agent on New Years Eve

    “On December 31st, an off-duty ICE Officer bravely responded to an active shooter situation at his apartment complex,” DHS said in a statement. “In order to protect his life and that of others, he was forced to defensively use his weapon and exchanged gunfire with the shooter.”

    “That is far from the truth,” Adrian Metoyer, Porter’s best friend, told the Los Angeles Times reacting to DHS’ statement. “I can’t even fathom that idea of him being looked at in a negative light. Calling the officer a hero, before any investigation had been conducted … this is ridiculous.”

    “If I could say anything to the ICE agent, it’s that you’re a murderer. You stole my cousin from me. You stole their father from them,” said Jsane’ Tyler, Porter’s cousin, to ABC News. “You stole a Black man off the planet that God ordained to live and thrive. You stole a human life, and you need to pay for it.”

    The incident occurred after Porter fired celebratory New Year’s gunshots into the air outside of his apartment complex, a dangerous, but common practice that authorities across the country have warned against.

    “What should have been an arrest and possible citation has turned into a death sentence and potentially cold-blooded murder from an ICE agent who was not equipped to handle the situation,” said Jamal Tooson, the Porter family’s attorney, claiming that multiple people at the complex were firing guns, but “only one was murdered.”

    *Off duty, like it’s their vocation and their passion to be murderous a-holes.

    Also, please don’t fire guns in the air because gravity.

  59. Hey, J.D. Vice, how about you look up the history of this young mother and see what nasty things you can come up with to malign her character like you did Renee Good’s.

    Viola Fauver Liuzzo (née Gregg; April 11, 1925 – March 25, 1965) was an American civil rights activist in Detroit, Michigan. She went to Alabama in March 1965 to support the Selma to Montgomery march for voting rights. On March 25, 1965, she was shot dead by three Klan members while driving activists between the cities and transportation… Liuzzo was stopped at a red light when a car with four white men pulled up alongside. When they saw the white woman and black man together, they followed Liuzzo as she tried to outrun them. They overtook the Oldsmobile and shot directly at Liuzzo, mortally wounding her twice in the head. The car veered into a ditch, crashing into a fence. The men were found to be members of the local Ku Klux Klan.

  60. ICE is pointing guns at random protesters, and you know they just want to murder everyone. Effing incels filled with rage feel powerful for the first time in their puny lives…and they think nobody will ever shoot back.
    One of these days, someone is gonna stand their ground.
    One of these days, a lot of folks will start standing their ground…and that will be when they come for your guns, you stupid MAGAts.

    Of course, folks have unregistered guns, antique, 3-D printed, stockpiles of ammo…especially the preppers. But the will make it legal for only certain folks to have pew-pews.
