Not just the execution of good people – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – which is disgusting and unjustifiable –
But the administrations condoning of these murders. That puts them on a par with Putin and Iran.
You cannot flood cities with armed masked men who violently bully and shoot people with impunity. That is Gestapo tactics. That is what happens in a police state. It is not acceptable in a democratic, free country.
You cannot have those in charge immediately accusing good citizens who are peacefully using their democratic rights to protest being labelled as domestic terrorists. That is diabolical.
You cannot have government goons killing people – firing three shots into a woman’s face from close range – firing ten shots into a nurse shielding two abused women who had been violently shoved over by government thugs – gloatingly saying ‘You Fucking Bitch’ after shooting Renee dead or pumping ten bullets into Alex Pretti and saying ‘Boo Hoo’. That is inexcusable.
You cannot have Trump and Noem lying about the incidents. Renee Good was NOT driving at Jonathan Ross. She was clearly steering away. Alex Pretti had a legally allowable handgun in a holster with no intention of using it. It was taken off him before he was murdered. For Trump and Noem to blatantly lie and justify the murders by saying these two good citizens were domestic terrorists, that Renee was using her car as a weapon, that Alex was armed and dangerous, is a travesty of justice, law and order.
We cannot have the sheer hypocrisy of Trump and his administration. It is alright in their eyes for armed thugs to attack the Capitol and kill police guards while hunting down politicians. It is alright for Kyle Rittenhouse to take to the streets with an assault rifle and kill two people. But it’s not alrght for a law-abiding citizen to have a holstered handgun while filming the violence of masked ICE goons and protecting women from their violence. Talk about dual standards. This administration openly supports extreme right-wing groups like the Oath Takers and Proud Boys (actively recruiting them into ICE) and labels anybody filming ICE activities on their phones as far-left agitators and domestic terrorists. This is fascism in action.
What should have happened is obvious to any civilised person:
Each incident should be fully investigated by unbiased law enforcement and courts and those involved, Jonathan Ross and the nameless masked goons, made to try to justify their actions and be held accountable in a court of law – like any law enforcer.
Fortunately, we have the bravery of bystanders who are prepared to peacefully monitor and record the thuggery. Without them we would only have Trump and Noem’s lying accounts of what is going on. We can see. We have the evidence! Thank you all the brave people of Minnesota!
What is happening in the USA is an outrage – a stain on civilisation. The sooner these incompetent Nazis are out of power the better!
