The killing of unarmed Renee Nicole Good, 37, has sparked international outrage. She was blasted three times in her car by federal agent Jonathan Ross during an immigration protest in a residential part of Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

Good’s killing has heightened tensions nationwide—but particularly in Minnesota. An ICE agent told the Daily Beast drivers were increasingly making a “gun sign” with their hands as they pass by ICE patrols in the street.

    There are only about a few thousand ICE agents. Every No Kings protest is hundreds of thousands of people, furious at illegal ICE bullying and ICE executing people in the street. Millions more not attending those events because they don’t feel safe.

    Not to mention the millions of Americans who are PoC, lgbtqia, vets who are feeling like the walls are closing, because some shit bags in Washington are too afraid to release the Epstein files to arrest their pedo leader.

    They’re pushing the majority in the corner and at some point, things will pop.

      You forget one key point: a few thousand heavily-armed, unaccountable, state-sponsored goons with complete immunity vs hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians who can’t afford a lawyer and don’t want to be sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador without even the option of seeing a lawyer - if they don’t get executed in the street right there and then.

        Fun thing is that American citizens are arming themselves. The news isn’t reporting it. But the numbers of lgbtqia who are arming themselves was rising significantly earlier in the year. More and more blue states are openly sharing where the left-leaning ranges are.

        But in the past few weeks, at my local club, we’re seeing record numbers. With what just happened, it’ll go even more bonkers in attendance.

        So, sure - unarmed.
