Is the murder of Renee Good by Trump's immigration police news in the U.K.?

We being who? Most people care.

The main topic of conversation that relates to stories like this is how little Brits want to go to the US now. Or work there. Most Brits previously viewed a holiday in the States as an unusual but nice luxury. We have all of Europe to holiday in, but being taken to New York for a long weekend or going to Florida for the theme parks, or going to Miami / California, or a big road trip - lovely. Exciting.

Now - no desire to go. Worried about border control and ending up imprisoned because some twat of a guard is on a power trip and they found something I tweeted five years ago. Generally the feeling that a country we felt was our friend no longer is. And is now erratic. We knew Trump was last time round but this time round it feels like it is the entire federal state. And all this slagging off of the UK on social media doesn’t make us feel there’s a friendship either. Friends don’t chat shit (and it is shit) about each other.

Yes but we don't care

It appears fresh footage has emerged of whaat happened before Renee was shot: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz7yv4524gqo

For the amount of U.S. news we get you’d think you were our neighbour. There’s more news about the U.S. than the whole of E.U.

The story has been widely publicised.

This thread is a relief. Ironically, I’ve seen quite a few pro-Trump comments on the feminist board making excuses for what the woman did wrong. I used to find those boards really interesting and educational - for years actually. Done with them now I think.

I heard that quote from him and was like 'Sir Hiss' from Disney's Robin Hood, when Little John kissed off all the King's ring jewels. So hypocritical.

We've heard about him calling her a 'Fucking bitch' wasn't it? This strongly points towards it being murder for me but are the courts going to prosecute him? I said to my DH that it was really weird how he positioned himself in front of her car the way he did; almost like he was willing it to happen. Combined with his words after the shooting, it sounds like she wound him up and he engineered an excuse to shoot her in the face.

Absolutely appalling and of course, the statement made by Trump straight after was full of untruths. He just says what he fucking likes and hopes 'headology' (as Granny Weatherwax calls it) will make us imagine it to be so.

My son emigrated to the US fifteen years ago, when he married an American woman.

He certainly talks to me about it, and the rest of the current chaos with Trump.

Not good, and I worry about him living out there.

I'm in New Zealand and it's been widely reported here OP, in case you are interested.

For the shooter?? Why? His legal fees or something?

Indeed, and it's already raised half a million dollars. Unbelievable.

Yes maybe not first anymore, which is Iran but a lot of people on social media, but they could be on any country really.

That post you're posting about was referring to a fund for the s h o o t e r.

Not sure, but I think the previous poster was saying there's a GFM for the shooter.

I mean, people in the UK were - mainly - already convinced that roving gangs of masked, armed men empowered to do as they please was a poor idea.

It's a horrible murder, but it's not the first and it comes after months of attacks on citizens and residents and disappearances worthy of Pinochet.

I'm truly sorry that you are living through this disease of authoritarian rule. I hope to heaven it's not catching.

European media follows American news very closely because the Americans are our military ally. We also like to laugh at the orange cheesy Wotsit and his government. Being crazy/unstable/incompetent is dangerous though.

For what purpose?!

Yes. Personally we're horrified. There's no way we'd consider going to USA for the foreseeable and lots of people i know feel the same.

Big news here. 3 full threads on this site about it.

There’s now a GoFundMe for the shooter.
