But can’t you see? You’re using the same evidence for your view of what’s happened here, as I am for disputing it? We’re taking evidence from what we are seeing on the news. The information regarding her being an activist is out there, the same as the information about her not being an activist. I’m not going to source the information for you,there’s so much of it. Just read the information out there, and make up your own mind. As have I. I might be wrong, you might be wrong, once the full facts emerge. But as far as I can see, she was aware of the situation she was in. Still didn’t deserve to die.

Well, the full facts wont come out, there will be no full and independent investigation or a trial.

Once again, i don't know why you keep coming back to her activism.... its almost as if your victim blaming.

So when you wrote

She was well known for being around these situations. Basically put herself amongst it. I happen to think that the story being pedalled from the government is totally false - the ICE agent was never in real danger of being run over - at least not to the extent that she needed to be shot three times in the face. But let’s be clear that also the story being told about her being an oblivious housewife on her way to the shops is also BS.

You weren't stating facts. Just what you have decided in your own head. Got it. Thanks for clarifying.

Edited

Nope. Neither of us was there. Both have got our information from newsfeeds. You’re stating the opposite of me as ‘facts’. Information out there indicates she was an activist, other info states she wasn’t, depending on where you get your info from. We will have to wait and see what comes out of this as the days progress.

Thanks for the link, I actually follow the nypost (I try to keep an open mind about souces). This is from that article:

Just as many others did in the lefty enclave, Good sent her son to Southside Family Charter School, a K-5 academy opened in 1972 which has from its inception been “unabashedly dedicated to social justice education,” according to co-founder Susie Oppenheim.

That is not a serious article or an independent source. It seems to exist purely for click bait and hyperbole.

Also I will add blocking with a vehicle isn’t ’peaceful protest’. Peaceful protest is sitting quietly with placards, or an organised picket line. Blocking with a vehicle puts road users at risk and acts a public nuisance. If ICE had been attempting to arrest a criminal, and they escaped due to this only to offend again, there would be consequences. Like the empty headed morons who blocked a plane from take off with a rapist and drug dealer on board.

No, if you read my posts I’m absolutely not victim blaming. I’ve repeated time after time that she didn’t deserve to be shot. I’m just correcting the statement that she was there not understanding the situation. What isn’t disputed is that her wife was there filming in the lead up to the shooting, on the pavement, which suggests to me that she was there as an agitator. What other reason could there be?

LakieLady · 09/01/2026 09:39

If we start shutting down the discussion because the opinions of MAGA are too unsavoury for us to bear, we leave nothing up but racist, hateful bile, which feeds into MAGA's belief that they are right in what they are doing.

Spot on, @Frequency .

That racist, hateful bile needs to be exposed for what it is.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 09/01/2026 09:29

So what?

Is peaceful protest now punishable by summary execution in the US?

Obviously not, but a pp had said she had just drioped her kids off and was not part of any protest. Peaceful protest is ok, being in a vehicle and acting in a way that armed officers believe to be a threat is not.

Alexandra2001 · 08/01/2026 14:33

Murder isn't it?

I just saw it again on Sky and its sickening, beyond belief and more akin to what you would expect from the Russians.

Even the Chinese didn't gun down the HK protestors, despite petrol bombs and great deal more provocation...

We then gave asylum to HK ers such was the concern over their safety...

Yet in the US is all ok, endorsed by their President no less.

I literally saw someone being shot right outside my apartment block in HK during the protests. They didn't shoot to kill though (if it makes any difference), unlike in this case.

Fellontheground · 09/01/2026 09:41

It is terrible and I despair. The photo of her with her husband is heartbreaking. Shows what happens if you mess with police/officials in the US.

Am I ‘MAGA’ because I think people who have no right to be in a country should be deported? Just for that belief?

The poster didn’t say that. Please at least stick to decency in debate and stop putting words in people’s mouths.

I haven't put any words into anyone's mouth. I asked a question.

Playingvideogames · 09/01/2026 09:42

LlttledrummergirI · 09/01/2026 09:38

Where is she blocking a vehicle?

I didn’t say she was. If she was. Mrs B asserted she was protesting peacefully by blocking with a vehicle.

What other reason could there be?

Exercising her democratic right to protest peacefully and lawfully.

NotTerfNorCis · 09/01/2026 09:46

I'm pretty sure she was there to protest. Blocking roads for a protest is certainly irritating. I certainly don't appreciate it when people do it in Britain.

That still doesn't mean she deserved to die though, or in any brought her murder on herself.

Nobody has a legal right to obstruct a highway in the UK.

AhBiscuits · 09/01/2026 09:47

This image is the one for me. She's about to start moving forward, wheels starting to turn to the right. ICE has already drawn his gun. He could have taken one small step to the side and been completely out of the way but he chooses to shoot her in the face instead and then shoot her twice more from the side through her open window. This was not a man acting in self defence. This was a man who felt that killing her was better than letting her drive away.
The fact that nothing will happen to him is truly sickening.

I’ve watched a number of the videos and really can’t see how she was threatening their lives, she was hardly driving at speed , the agent who shot her was not in direct line of the car and even if he was,at that speed, would he have been killed by the car, doubtful,they also clearly stopped anyone trying to help after she had been shot , what a sad awful place theUS is becoming

That's just a load of piffle from a conservative tabloid. According to the article, her son went to a 'woke' school, she lived on a street lined with lgbt flags and was some kind of 'lefty enclave' 😂 you want us to take this shit seriously? None of this is relevant, all it does is make it clear you have an agenda.

When will you realise, it doesn't matter if she was protesting or not. She didn't deserve to be murdered! End of!

You do like your caps and repeating where she was shot don't you? We know where she was shot. She shouldn't have being acting in a way perceived to be of danger or a threat to others.

She was there to protest. She was apparently part of a well organised and funded group. That does not mean she deserved to be shot dead of course, goes without saying surely.

Obviously not, but a pp had said she had just drioped her kids off and was not part of any protest. Peaceful protest is ok, being in a vehicle and acting in a way that armed officers believe to be a threat is not.

But the video evidence simply doesn't back up the claim that they believed her to be a threat.

I don't know if she was there protesting against ICE or not. I haven't seen any definitive evidence in either direction. But I don't think it's relevant in any case.

The important question is not why she was there in the first place, but why they shot her three times in the absence of any credible threat.

You do like justifying murder with bullshit dont you?
