Why aren’t Jonathan Ross, Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez under arrest and investigation for the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti??
Is America completely broken?
Don’t they arrest people for murder anymore?
Trump, Miller, Noem and Bovino – agents of chaos and terror. Should heads roll?
So if someone is shot and killed, in any circumstance, shouldn’t there be an unbiased investigation? Shouldn’t the law apply to ALL people – especially law enforcers?
Is it right for the killers to simply be given a holiday and full anonymity?
Shouldn’t there be a transparent legal process with full justification and accountability?
In Britain Jean Charles da Silva de Menezes was illegally killed. There was a full investigation and accountability. We didn’t have the Prime Minister making up lies or obfuscating.
All concerned in the shooting, lies, cover up and stupid justifications should be held accountable!
Who are these masked Goons?? Why aren’t they in a police cell waiting to appear in court?
What is utterly inexcusable is:
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!
Phil Ochs – Is There Anybody Here
For Alex, Renee and all the 32 murdered by ICE.
Who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame?
Is there anybody here
Who wouldn’t mind a murder by another name?
Civil War or Police State?
I don’t think I want to visit the USA right now (apart from the fact that they probably wouldn’t let me in!) under Trump and ICE it seems to be descending into a repressive Police State run by the Gestapo.
They murder good citizens like Renee Good and Alex Pretti for protesting about their Gestapo tactics.
They claim the right to carry arms but that only seems to apply to ICE goons and white supremacists.
Trump is busy shutting down all opposition, muting the media and taking over the democratic process. Talk about rigging elections. He’s putting his guys in charge of everything. I think Putin is providing him with a clear model.
Are we heading for a civil war or a repressive Police State similar to Iran?
Trump, Vance an Noem justify murder. Alex and Renee deserved it – they were opposing the regime.
They killed thousands in Iran. Putin has the opposition locked up in Gulags and murdered. Xi locks up all dissenting voices. Kim just kills them. The USA is well on the road!
Roy Harper and Renee Good
I was reeling from the murder of Renee Good and the response by Trump, Vance and MAGA. I found it disgusting. A mother was callously shot three times in the face. She was described as a lesbian and called a domestic terrorist (as if her sexuality had anything to do with anything). I was shocked by the mocking and gloating that subsequently took place. She deserved it. She was peacefully protesting the lawful operations of ICE – as if that deserved to be shot three times in the face. What is going on in this horrendous tribal division where all humanity is lost. In the heated cauldron we seem to have lost all compassion, humanity and truth.
Then I found myself typing out a section written by Roy back in the late 80s and thought it pertinent:
This attitude manifested itself to me whilst shopping in the supermarket yesterday. Upon seeing a woman who was about to load up with ‘Cape’ apples, the lady I was with said to her ‘those are from South Africa, you know’. The woman smiled and put the apple she had hold of down, but I watched her because I was naturally interested in someone who would buy an apple with South African written all over it (Nb. the anti-apartheid boycott of South African goods was at its height in the late 80s). As soon as she thought that the lady I was with wasn’t looking, she went back and picked some up and continued on. I wasn’t surprised but I was annoyed and said to my consort ‘she bought them you know’. We passed her later on and I guess my friend couldn’t stop herself. ‘So, you bought them then?’ she said. The woman just said ‘Yes’ and walked away completely unconcerned, a statement in favour of apartheid, of absolute complacency. Careless in the extreme of how other men and women on the planet are being made to suffer. Just another partygoer.
This little true story is perhaps generally indicative of the manner in which humans treat each other and the world they live in at the moment. While I’m not a very public-spirited person myself, I’m of the opinion that the majority of my ‘leaders’ leave me standing when it comes to aloofness, greed, selfishness, vanity, megalomania, cowardice, pomposity, pretention, improbity and the like. I’m not in the same race. The stable door has been bolted ……… etc.
To my mind, permanently electing these kind of people to public office is tantamount to social suicide.
Trump’s Gestapo
“That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.”
The threatening rant of an evil domestic terrorist intent on murder!
“I’m Not Mad At You” – by Charlie Sykes – To the Contrary
Shot three times in the face for daring to drive away (as instructed!)
