Greetings, Dear Reader,

I’m going to try to keep this one quick. I often get on these streams of writing in the mornings and things get away from me.

I don’t have a ton of time to produce these. I’m working a billion jobs to keep my wife happy.

So, I’ll try to keep it tight and, most importantly, right.


RENEE GOOD WASN’T UNIQUE. SHE JUST FOUND OUT

It took me about five minutes this morning to find several examples of irate liberal women pursuing ICE in their privately owned vehicles and attempting to interdict them.

In one, a woman hems up suspected ICE officers in her car on a residential street. She’s filming the entire time, narrating to herself and possibly livestream viewers, hurling insults at the officers.

Bystanders have gathered. The officers try a three-point turn to get away. She rolls her window down and begins shouting at the pedestrians.

“Can you pull behind them?!” she shrieks. “It’s ICE! Can you pull behind them to block them in?! Hurry!”

One bystander eventually does, and she hurries to pull in closer to block the federal agents. Then she gets out of her car, filming the entire time.

“Look at these losers,” she says, filming just feet away from the car.

This is a crime, by the way, Dear Reader, and it boggles my mind that more people aren’t being summarily arrested for it. We should be building more prisons for these types. But we’re not. And so you get more of it.

The original poster says the video was filmed in Portland. I can’t confirm it at the moment, but I believe it. Just last night, ICE shot two more people in Portland while serving a warrant. It will come as no shock to hear that authorities are saying the shooting occurred as a result of the perp using a car to ram officers.

Sound familiar?

Five days before Christmas, a video went viral depicting two women stopped by federal authorities for following their vehicles down the freeway. I don’t have the full context, but the way the officer in the video speaks, it appears as if they’d been doing this for quite some time.

“This is your one warning. If you follow us again, we’re going to stop you, break your window, rip you out, and arrest you.”

Why even give them a warning? Stop giving warnings, man, just arrest these women. Make them pay with time and money.

Last summer, plain-clothes law enforcement officers, presumably immigration authorities, stopped a female activist who goes by “Veechy” on TikTok as she was following them. She livestreams federal law enforcement operations while they’re in progress, which is obviously dangerous for everyone involved.

Filming is fine; it’s legally protected. Following officers, interfering with arrests, warning potential suspects — none of that is legal. How is this woman not incarcerated?

In September, a woman driving an SUV and filming narrowly missed an ICE enforcement vehicle while ripping down a commercial roadway. You can hear the man in the car with her plead, “Baby, stop stop stop!”

“I don’t give a f***!” she says.

In her own video you can see ICE officers scurrying to get out of the way. When she finally slows down and one approaches her vehicle to reprimand her, she bellows, “Are you going to shoot a pregnant woman?”

Last I checked, you can still have a baby in prison.

In an undated video that’s going viral as you read this, a woman walks into an active ICE police raid while filming. The police tell her things could get dangerous and beg her to move. She refuses. Eventually she’s persuaded to move beyond where ICE agents say they intend to take the arrested party.

“I have a six-year-old in my car,” she tells the concerned officers.

An exasperated female agent then begs her, “Ma’am, get your child off the scene! This is an active police scene! Get your child out of here, this is an active police scene!”

Another agent, more calmly, tells her she has “the right to videotape,” but that he’d feel more comfortable if she removed herself from an area he was concerned might rapidly become chaotic.

As she’s getting into the car, he reprimands her once more.

“By the way, by law we’re policemen too. That child is supposed to be in a booster seat. He’s not of age, so make sure you put him in a booster seat or we’re going to give you a ticket.”

“You can give me a ticket,” she says triumphantly, “I’d love it!”

There are hundreds of these. There are hours of footage, particularly of women, chasing ICE agents, broadcasting their locations, inserting themselves into highly fraught law enforcement operations, and literally using their vehicles as weapons.

They won’t protect themselves. They won’t protect their children, born or unborn. What is it they are protecting? Somali fraud rings? In the case of the Portland warrant, officers were attempting to arrest suspected members of Tren de Aragua.

One woman in Charlotte filmed herself describing how “shocked” she was to hear Renee Good had been killed.

And why was she shocked? Because “just a few weeks ago, I was driving around Charlotte doing very similar things.”

For the love of God, why?

In a longer video CNN published yesterday depicting the shooting in Minneapolis that ended Good’s life, you can see someone exit the passenger side of her vehicle minutes prior to the altercation.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out who. It was her “wife.” The same woman covered in blood minutes later saying it was her fault for encouraging Good to even be there.

Why she was getting out of the car doesn’t take a three-digit IQ to figure out either: She was filming the event.

The whole fracas led one anon to remark:

It’s funny how people chase fame. It’s not enough to merely be quietly heroic. So they had to film it. Because what’s the point of being a hero and “Doing Something” if nobody sees it?

So Love blocked the street while her wife filmed. I’m sure they hoped there’d be some sort of confrontation. Maybe Love would be dragged from the vehicle and she could scream and thrash for the camera and prove the officers were Fascist brutes.

And then there would be praise and accolades. Here’s a woman who STOOD UP for WHAT IS RIGHT! She would have been mildly famous in Resistance circles.

And she probably thought it would have fixed her. That it would have somehow made her life better, and filled the cavernous void in her soul with smug self-satisfaction because she DID SOMETHING when no one else would.

Well, she’s got the fame now. It’s ironic that she got it in death.

All these women have the same things in common, and it’s not just that they’re terrible mothers.

First, they’ve all been taken with the same delusion. Except Good actually found out what happens when you act on it. Worst-case scenario is you’re dead. Such a reality never enters their minds as they watch the likes and follows and accolades they accrue from fellow delusionites.

Second, they’re leaning heavily on a law enforcement double standard. They’re always free to go! Do them a favor and arrest them. Instantly. As soon as you identify them and what they’re doing.

This is all happening because we allow it.

We’ve allowed them to believe the worst of it will be a viral video. Maybe a fine. And all the respect in the world in their mentally ill little friend group. They don’t even consider who it is ICE might be after. Could it be a legit pedophile? A serial rapist? No matter.

None of this will stop until the repercussions start. Criminal convicts can be women too.

Let’s start padding those numbers. Arrest them on sight. Fullest extent of the law. Prison. Serious jail time. Putting them behind bars and posting videos of the arrests will actually save lives. If you want to protect the women, put them behind bars.

Because until we develop the fortitude to stop playing patty-cake, more of these deranged lunatic women will be interdicting officers with their cars.

It’s just a matter of time before more of them end up keeping Good company, wherever she is now.
