After the gestapo shot and killed Renee Nicole Good on January 7 during a fascist attack on Minneapolis, hegemonic media reacted by blaming Good for her death, saying it "was her own doing” and attacking her character by labeling her “a perpetrator” and “trained agitator.”

    This is just starting, and this story is going to be with us for a long time. Soon they will return from their “investigation,” and declare that The ICE Killer is innocent of all charges, and is back on the job somewhere. Announcing it is proof of their transparency. That will cause a huge outcry across the world, exacerbated by the fact that the MAGA government will be unrepentant and immovable.

    Then Minnesota will charge him with murder, and demand he be turned over, and ICE will refuse. An arrest warrant will be issued, and he’ll be found operating in some other city in a Blue state, and the governor and mayor of that state will work together to arrest and extradite him to Minnesota, which MAGA will fight at every step.

    Then there will be a state trial, which MAGA will resist, and punishment, which will be appealed, all the way to the Supreme Court. In fact, SCOTUS may be consulted at multiple points of this process, stretching the time out even longer.

    This is going to be a long, complicated slog.

      I think you’re giving Minnesota alot of undue credit.

        If the Feds don’t charge him, Minnesota will. He’s not getting away with murder that easily.

        People thought George Floyd’s killer would get away with it, too, but he’s sitting in prison right now.

          That was also a local cop and not an agent of a federal agency that Trump/Republicans have expressed unconditional support towards. I already saw video of a local mayor explaining they could arrest agents but ICE has more guns then them.
