Doesn't it tend to be the left who want all women to have paid jobs, whereas the right are much more in favour of them staying at home?

Pretty much. The tradwife thing seems quite conservative.

How is that emotive language? It's factual and brief. It's also particularly shocking and must not be minimised. I am convinced the ICE man shot her in anger because she was a woman and he was on a huge power trip.

Hmm, not sure it's a sexism thing. It's usually men getting shot in police brutality.

Apreciate the reply.
To add, I believe that before Trump got elected the first time, The left (Hilary Clinton) called Trump voters "A basket of deplorable's".
That isn't going to help, voters sitting on the fence are gonna say F you if that's what you think. The left have a significant part to play in the situation the world is in now, realise the left ain't gonna like that.....but it's true.

🤣”It’s not my fault, you made me do it.” This would be why democracies vote in Hitlers and Trumps - an abject failure on the part of voters to take responsibility for their own choices.

Im not sure the need to focus so much in which part of the body was shot but I don’t think she drove at the officers either. I just don’t understand why she was driving away full stop or why people are dismissing that. Obviously the fact she tried to drive away before they opened fire led to the tragic outcome. If armed officers tell you to get out of your vehicle and you carry on driving, you get shot. It has happened in the UK too. Unfortunately what you do next in the moments anfter armed officers tell you to get out of your vehicle matters. Trying to drive away matters.

Good God.

You spend too much time on here 😀

According to ChatGPT it’s because:

  • Daytime mumsnet: unemployed, students, freelancers, shift workers, academics, public-sector workers → statistically more likely to lean left.
  • Evening mumsnet: people in full-time traditional jobs logging on after work → statistically more mixed or more conservative.

If you ask it the right questions, it can give more precise data, although I am unsure as to how an AI would know the employment status of MN users, given that MN does not collect or publish this data. ChatGPT is a webcrawler, not a psychic.

I don't care if it's 'left wing or right', I have watched the coverage and witnessed a murder.

The truth is out there, so many people saw it happen, some filmed it.

The thing that a great deal of Americans are going to have have to come to terms with are that white people are now as vulnerable as black people have been for so many years when it comes to poorly trained, fully armed, government backed thugs. And that their President will support said thugs no matter what.

Livelovebehappy · 08/01/2026 23:07

Looking at the videos out there, it looks increasingly like a huge over reaction on the part of the ICE officer. And whilst Trump is stating the officer had been knocked down and was lucky to not be seriously injured, I couldn’t see anyone on the floor. I think it’s important though to not use the incident to stop the work ICE are doing there in tracking down illegal immigrants.

She was just an innocent passer by was she doing her weekly shop, collecting her kids from school? My arse she was! Look at the whole situation!! She was a professional agitator.

Try asking it to make a Sims 4 floor plan. DD2's arguments with it are hilarious.

DD: Make a floor plan for a three-story mansion in Sims 4, lot size 50 x 40
ChatGPT: spews out a random Pinterest image on a 50 x 46 grid
DD: No lot size is 50 x 40, try again
ChatGPT: Spews out the same image
DD: What is 50 x 40?
ChatGPT: 2000
DD: Show the floor plan on a 2000 square grid.
ChatGPT: spews out a different image on a 46 x 46 grid
DD: How is 46 x 46 2000 squares? Do it right this time
ChatGPT: spews out various random Pinterests
DD: You're stupid! Why does my basement have a balcony and a patio? Where are my stairs? Do you think Sims can fly through roofs?
ChatGPT: In Sims 4 Realm of Magic sims can learn a teleportation spell. Would you like me to give you information on how to purchase Realm of Magic?
DD: No, go away. You're rubbish.

I watched mutiple videos from both angles.

this is how I viewed the situation
she did clip him with her car but not on purpose and did not run him over. He put him self in that position as she was trying to leave and it did clip him. He was never in any danger of her running him over because actually it was after he shot that the car sped up. So if in fact he was in any danger of her if she carried on driving he would of still been ran over after he shot the first one when the car accelerated which he wasn’t which proves he was not in direct line of the car or at least not in a position he could move out the way.
I do not believe it was justified the further 2 shots were from the side and 100 percent not justified.

At what point are they justified then?

What level of thinking does it take to drive an SUV in the direction of an armed officer, after you've been told to get out of your vehicle?

Also, people.seem to be judging the actions of the agent on the laws here in the UK. Things are very different in the US. You absolute 💯 cannot do anything that endangers an officer in any way. You might disagree with the law, but that's how it is. And driving a two ton SUV in their general direction, with contempt, is a terrible idea.

What would you advise your child to do if they were in a similar situation?

Comply with the officers directions, or drive towards them?

This was a tragedy. But ICE aren't known for their tolerant demeanour.

With contempt? I would have thought she'd be terrified having a masked ICE officer shouting and swearing at her while pulling her door open. It all happened so fast, you have no idea how you would react in those circumstances or how she was feeling in those few seconds.

More likely she was concentrating on the one shouting at her and trying to open her door, not the one that comes round the side and deliberately stands in front of the vehicle.

I tried asking it about a particular topic I'm interested in. It came up with a number of references to statistics and information which it said were the result of research, in some cases naming the bodies where the research was done and occasionally the names of the researchers. I thought this was fantastic and was eager to delve further, to asked it to give me the precise references for the research in question. Whereupon it blithely told me that none of it was real, this was just information it thought might be revealed if research were carried out.

How on earth did someone manage to write an algorithm that thought that would be remotely useful?

See also all the lawyers who have got into trouble using AI research, only to discover that they have been quoting statutes and case names that don't exist.

Edited

Yes, she was trying to drive away. Not hurt or kill anyone. He was never at risk - PARTICULARLY on the 2nd and 3rd shots - even if he pathetically tried to argue he was in danger on the first one (he wasn't).

She was waving people through before that. No one was at risk of violence from her.

Ihavelostthegame · 09/01/2026 01:57

Two more people have been shot at by ICE. This time in Portland. Trump is on record having told ICE agents heading to Minneapolis to “be rough with them” hours before Renee was shot. There can be no doubt at what is going on.

Sadly I fear there will be more people killed in the coming days/ weeks. God help America

Governor of MN, Walz, has activated their national guard and Trump is sending 100 more ICE agents in. This could become an armed conflict.
