Woman shot after hitting an ICE agent with her car in Minnesota.

 

New York Post/X screengrab.

A woman was shot and killed after hitting an ICE agent with her car in Minnesota. New York Post. Video on social media shows the woman blocking ICE agents with her Honda Pilot. Three ICE agents confront her with one stepping in front of the vehicle. The woman advances with her car and is seen hitting the officer and he opens fire, firing three shots, one of which went through the windshield and another hitting her side mirror. The woman has been identified as a 37 year old from Colorado named Renee Nicole Good and was a mother to a six year old. Her wife was on scene and took blame for the incident saying Good would not have been there if it wasn't for her. Local leaders condemned the incident, even after video of the car striking the officer came out, while the Trump administration said it was a case of domestic terrorism.  

My Comment:

This is probably the most justified shooting I have ever seen in my life, and I have seen a lot of them. The second Good stepped on the gas with an ICE agent in front of her, she forfeited her life. Hitting someone with your car creates a reasonable fear for someone's life and the ICE agent was justified in firing at the woman when she hit him with her car. There is a small chance that some new evidence could show that the ICE agent is in the wrong, but the chances of that are vanishingly small. But unless that evidence is found, this is clearly a good shoot. 

Indeed, the ICE agent is lucky he wasn't hurt worse than he was. He did have to go to the hospital regardless, but in the video it's clear that the Honda Pilot was spinning it's wheels and they were pointed towards the officer. Had the wheels not spun, not only would the shooting officer been injured or killed, the officer that was trying to open the door could have been as well. 

Why Good did this is pretty much irrelevant. Some folks are saying she was panicking and wasn't actually protesting ICE at all. I have no idea if that is true or not, but it's also totally irrelevant. Someone trying to murder you in malice isn't really that different from someone trying to murder you if they are panicking. The fear of death is the same in either case. 

I don't really believe that she wasn't protesting ICE though. In order for that to be true she would have to be blocking the ICE convoy for some other reason? We would have to believe she was just that bad of a driver or something. Blocking ICE officers has been a basic tactic for the far-left and there were witnesses saying that she was the ringleader, creating a strong case for her being a protester. And, she was apparently LGBT given that she was married to a woman, making it even more likely. 

The response from the left on this case has been utterly shameful. If I was a more charitable person I could point out a few things they could be getting wrong here. The most obvious one is that they simply don't understand the laws for Self Defense. Hitting someone with a car is incredibly dangerous and more than justifies lethal force, but many people somehow believe that only being in an actively shot at justifies lethal force. It's the same argument we saw with the Trayvon Martin case, but people still don't know the law. 

They could also be confused as the first video is a lot less clear about what happened. It could be very possible that they are seeing the 2nd ICE agent, the one that goes for the door. It's hard to even see the 1st agent in that video and they are assuming that the 2nd one was the one that fired. To be fair, if the first officer wasn't in front of the car, it probably wouldn't be a good shoot, but that wasn't the case. 

Of course, I have no charity for the Democrats trying to make this into George Floyd 2.0. People like Tim Walz, Jacob Frey and Hakeem Jefferies absolutely know better. They know the law, they know that under the law this is a justifiable homicide and they also know that by saying otherwise they are risking riots and further violence against ICE. They don't care as they want this story to hurt the Trump administration and get the Somali fraud story out of the news. 

I don't think it is going to work. This case is too cut and dry as self defense and everyone that isn't a rabid partisan has seen the video of the agent getting hit by the truck. And you can't bury the Somali fraud story, it's not going away, too much money was stolen and people are far too angry about it. 

My fear though is that reality isn't going to break through to the people it needs to, liberal white women like Good. They are stuck in major bubbles and many of them have nobody in their life that would talk some sense into them. They are going to listen to the evil folks like Walz and Frey who would gladly risk further violence if it keeps them in power and out of prison.
