Republican Congressman: 'I Do not Feel Bad' for U.S. Mother of Three Killed by ICE

By Brian Daitzman

One day after Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot in the head and killed during an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis, GOP Representative Randy Fine of Florida appeared on Newsmax and said he did not feel bad.

“I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved,” Mr. Fine said, adding that “if you impede the actions of our law enforcement … you get what’s coming to you.”

A Republican member of Congress, Mr. Fine described the shooting as “completely justified,” despite the fact that no court or jury has ruled on whether the agent’s use of lethal force was lawful. He warned that “more Americans will die if they impede law enforcement,” remarks that intensified national outrage and focused attention on how elected officials have publicly characterized the killing.

During the interview, Mr. Fine framed Ms. Good’s death as a deterrent rather than as a loss of life, language that drew criticism as the investigation into the shooting remained ongoing.

for westward expansion. We reigned it in a bit when we ran out of natives to subjugate. But it IS at our core, waiting to be reloaded when needed.

And here we are. We keep throwing non whites, non Christians under the bus, choosing order over justice.

So what ever the machine spits out is what the people have to live with

And since republicans own the companies that make the machines and program the machines and the reporting sites, they have a pretty good chance of “winning “

One cop told Ms. Good to "Get outta here!" That one was on the open window side.

Might want to ask Fine where in the law it’s says that the penalty for so called “impeding law enforcement” is capital punishment.

Murdered. Of course they'll say yes, never mind her having already broken into and entered the Capitol and was disobeying a lawful order to cease and desist.
