Donald Trump has now said its okay to murder a woman. Because they are doing it for people's 'safety'

It is interesting how far humans will let themselves be abused by bad people.

I was watching a documentary about jonestown the cult.

Some people left the cult

They said that the leader beat people, raped people, starved people. He made them do physical labour for many hours a day. He demanded that they give him all of their money.

And yet still hundreds of people followed him.

People seem to keep supporting a person and staying there. Rather than saying "maybe i was wrong and this guy is actually a bad person"

Yeah, he saunters off quite the thing after sticking three bullets into her and calling her a fucking bitch.

Doesn't show much sign of injury...

Rejoining.

I will say what I said on the last thread: I think her killing was unjustified, an overreaction and a disproportionate use of force.

I don’t think however this is a very very clear cut case.

We now know Renee and her wife were protesting ICE in some form and trying to engage with/taunt them. That doesn’t justify her killing at all, but there was lots of talk of her going on the school run or to the supermarket and doubt over what she was doing at the time. It still isn’t 100% clear exactly what happened in the build up, but very apparent she disliked ICE and was trying to engage them in some way. From what I can see, the interaction was enough for the officers to know she opposed them or had a grievance against them.

We know the officer in question was involved in an incident last year where an arrest wrong and the suspect drove off, dragging him 100ft behind the car and seriously injuring him. I would be surprised if this didn’t play any role at all in his thinking/overreaction.

In terms of the ‘collision’ it’s hard to say, because the camera pans away before the crucial moment. The sound does sound like her car made contact with him but we can’t say for sure. I don’t think she was trying to run him over but I think she seemed reckless as to whether she made contact with him or not.

For everyone saying ‘he should’ve got out the way’, well the onus is on the driver not to drive if there is a person stood in front of their vehicle. Had the shoe been on the other foot and he had bumped her with his car, you would no doubt be saying ‘why on earth did he drive, he could see her stood right there’ etc. Plus he’s an arresting officer, apprehending people isn’t an exercise in running off if they do anything to escape, it’s literally the opposite.

In short I my opinion at the moment is that she was quite reckless, and this triggered his overreaction as he had been injured by a vehicle before. I think the shooting was however unjustified and there were other ways to stop the vehicle without killing her, and I think this officer is unsuitable for duty.

I think it’s devastating her son has been left without his mum - just heartbreaking. Her wife’s tribute was just lovely, and I don’t think her actions in the car change this at all - as I said I don’t think she intended to drive at anybody at all.

It’s all very tragic.

It is a clear cut case. Her killing was not justified. If he had PTSD from a previous incident, he should not have been in charge of a firearm. Only a mentally ill person would have believed she was intending to run him over. Only a Fascist would actually think her killing was justifiable.

The new video doesn't show him being hit by the car.

Yeh he looked really calm when he was shooting her in the head.

Show quote history

The chilling thing is he did appear quite calm before and after committing murder.

I know everyone responds to shock differently, but the most common reaction if you'd just been forced to end a life would be one of abject horror, guilt, sadness, and fear, which are feelings that present quite differently to causally sauntering off while calling your victim a bitch.

She's turning the steering wheel away from him as he shoots her. He knew he wasn't going to be hit by that car. She was trying to avoid him and get away and he knew it and shot her. It's horrendous.

flutisy · 09/01/2026 22:13

You can literally see her turning the steering wheel to her right. He must have been able to see it. Absolutely no way did he think she was aiming the car at him.

Or alternatively, in Fascist America, he needs a medal, awarded to him personally by Trump.

A place of safety (asylum) for the care of people with serious mental illness. We have Broadmoor here - a high security psychiatric hospital for the care of mentally ill killers and the like… I’m sure the US has similar.

And, of course, asylum is not a popular word in the US, with its connotations of safety, they prefer terms like “illegal immigrant” and “fucking bitch.”

It is relevant, though. It's horrible to read, I understand that, and I agree that the most relevant factor is her death, but a headshot shows a clear intention to cause death.

A gunshot wound to the chest or abdomen is far more likely to be survivable than one to the head.

It also shows the officer had time to aim. In comparison to the chest/torso, the head is a far smaller target, yet he managed to hit his target three times. It is also counter to his training; US LE are trained to target the chest because it is a large target in comparison to the head or limbs, and therefore they are less likely to miss and potentially injure bystanders.

Show quote history

It’s still not the actual point though, is it? The fixation over what part of the body she was shot in only adds emotive dramatisation and detracts from a far bigger picture. It may have relevance to some people who just can’t move past it but it isn’t the relevant point here. The relevant point here is that nobody is safe. The people of America didn’t just vote once but twice to be run by a complete psycho who is only drumming up all this domestic chaos and outside interference in Venezuela to distract the people away from the Epstein Scandal that he’s into up to his grubby orange neck. Look over there! Look over there! Don’t look over here!

Perhaps people should focus more on that.

@NorwayTruce Those are all very good points.

This is a difficult watch, especially if, like me, you watch his channel regularly. He never gives his personal opinion, nor does he ever get emotional so watching how badly he is effected is uncomfortable, but it has a good breakdown of the behaviour and intentions of the ICE agents as well as footage I've never seen before, which shows the incident from the front of the vehicle and very clearly shows the ICE agent was not struck by Renee's car.

It also very clearly shows that Renee backs up in order to make a 3-point turn to exit the scene. At no point does she attempt to hit anyone. She is turning to leave the area.

Let assume that you are right and that the ICE officer didn't think that she was driving at him and didn't think that there was a risk to his life, then what do you think was his motive for shooting her?
