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.

new to the city

Ah! So she was an immigrant! Case closed, good job, ICE!

spoiler/s, if it's somehow needed...

A life snapped in a moment by someone that had no right. She was executed while trying to run away from a terrifying situation, and now her kids also have to endure the way they're talking of their mother and try to process that.

Don't let it be in vain.

The other day I was in the car and I remembered that gruesome video where a brick flies out of the back of a truck and instantly kills a mother in the following car's passenger seat...

My palms got kinda sweaty, and I started thinking about how I would react if that happened to my loved ones.

Then I remembered that I have much more immediate concerns to be worrying about, like getting stopped by ICE for being non-white (despite my citizenship) and getting shot in the face by someone with zero training.

I'm sorry for you people. The US is turning into a country like Nazi Germany and nobody is doing anything.

Now I understand how Hitler managed to raise into power without nobody stopping him.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

As a German, what is happening in the US right now is exactly what I was extensively learning in school about, and it's absolutely horrifying. The Trump administration is following Hitler's playbook almost verbatim.

People not as familiar with German history tend to forget that Hitler solidified his absolute rule for about one year from 1933 to 1934. He still could have been stopped in that timeframe. That's where the US is right now with Trump, and time is running out.

If anyone else is interested, I highly recommend watching Babylon Berlin - an excellent show about the 1920-1930s Berlin. The second season specifically is very focused on the rise of Hitler and SA becoming more and more bold.

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 15 hours ago

What do you mean! We constantly get articles about this and that person "being impeachable", or about some Democrats "discussing further steps", or "planning to sue"! LOTS of stuff is being done!

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 228 points 2 days ago (16 children)

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.

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

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.

MAGA is a Nazi terrorist death cult and needs to be treated as such

*The whole Republican party is a Nazi terrorist death cult and needs to be treated as such

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 points 2 days ago

The Republicans were just the larval stage that finally transformed into their final form: MAGA. They are all the same, no matter how much they deny it. That includes conservatives. They're all MAGA.

Yup. Super clear from the video that she was turning the vehicle away from the agents. Also, the guy had more than enough time to step out of the way, making use of deadly force literally illegal.

With how incompetent they behaved, I was extremely surprised when I learned the victim was white.

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.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 11 points 2 days ago

Puppy Killer took the time to point out instances of people blocking ICE cars, and it was clearly pissing her off. They want to end that practice, because it works, and gives targets a chance to escape.

So I wouldn't be surprised that they were ordered that if anyone blocks an ICE vehicle, to leap in front of it, and kill the driver, and send a message. So that guy got out of his car, drawing his weapon, and as she looked at him, he put two bullets in her face.

Minnesota should arrest the ICE Jackal for First Degree murder, all the rest as accessories, and everyone in the chain of command who created the order, and passed it down, for murder as well.

It seems like your choices when confronted by ICE are:

  1. Try to run away. You may get get murdered during your attempt.
  2. Identify yourself, possibly be incorrectly identified as "not a citizen," possibly die in a concentration camp.
  3. Exercise the second amendment. Get shot and die.
[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 2 days ago

At least MAGA is offering people choices. So thoughtful.

What’s wild is rightoids, by and large, love this shit. They’re literally celebrating it and unironically being like “THATS FOR KIRK!” So much of their political philosophy is “look what you made me do to you!”

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 15 hours ago

Someone should be gathering info on all the people doing this and then, if some semblance of normalcy is restored, have them sent to forced psychological therapy. These people are fundamentally broken.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago

And then get all butt hurt when one of their own faces any slight criticism. Not the sane or smart we are dealing with here, act accordingly.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

If that group of armed men approaching her car had been black, we'd be having an entirely different conversation.

When is the 2A crowd gonna live out their fantasy of saving the US from a corrupt government?

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 1 points 15 hours ago

They are on the side of the fascists

[–] lost_faith@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The 2A crowd doesn't see the govt as corrupt

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I do. I've joined a collective of armed leftists. I was legit surprised that they existed.

If you own a gun, and you conceal carry, consider finding your local group and get involved.

They think that's what they're doing. They are feral ignorant morons, driven by their most base instincts, and they've never even heard of the concept of Critical Thinking Skills. That makes them remarkably susceptible to the most stupid sort of flat-earth level propaganda.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Feels like the loudest "2nd amendment people" were only interested in protecting corrupt governments.

ICE is a bunch of rabid dogs. They should be put down, it’s the humane thing to do. I hope that this specific agent burns alive ☺️👍🏻

[–] orioler25@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They're going to claim that people are trying to kill them anyway. Might as well stop them from lying and create some real consequences for these Nazis. I've seen so many videos of them surrounded by crowds, it wouldn't take much.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

If they were actually getting hurt and killed they would not be out there. Cowards run in the face of fear.
