So, the woman who was killed by ICE agents in Minnesota was a radical activist who hooked up with a group of RESIST! types through her son's woke school. Oh, and she's a lesbian, did I mention that?

FTA:

I'm sorry but a neighborhood with LGBTQ signs and rainbow flags and homages to George Floyd is not a "working class" neighborhood; it's a gentrified homosexual neighborhood that was formerly working class.

I used to work for a property management company and saw this on many occasions; gay folks moved into formerly working class, often decaying, neighborhoods and made them their own, and they did much to improve the place. That is fine and they would make those areas their own. More power to 'em I sez. But let's not give a false impression. This was not a "working class neighborhood". It was gentrified, or on it's way to being so.

And the school she sent her kid (adopted I assume)? It was clearly a lunatic asylum full of the wokest of woke idiots. There she got involved in ICE Watch, a group dedicated to disrupting raids on illegal invaders.

Good and her sapphic life partner had immigrated to Canada after the election of Donald Trump but true to form returned to make mischief in the U.S. Leftists always threaten to leave, and even when they do they never STAY gone. If they hate America so much why not become Canadian permanently? There is no culture shock after all. But they just won't do that. That's because leftists suffer from a mental disorder and are determined to make the whole world suffer from the same disorder so they won't be alone.

That appears to be what this Good chick had going anyway.

This is, of course, exactly what the Left had hoped for; some idiot foot soldier to push right up to the edge and get shot and then they would have their martyr. All revolutions need martyrs. And they will ride this thing as long as they possibly can. I have little doubt groups like ICE Watch were told by their funders to start getting more aggressive with just this in mind. With mid-terms coming up they need an issue to be able to use to get the public to turn on the Trump Administration and Republicans and a few deaths of a few dim-wits like this Good chick is a small price to pay for political power.

I wonder if her partner will actually learn anything from this. Probably not.

Fortunately Trump isn't the average Republican, who would have scurried for cover by now. I caught J.D. Vance in a presser, defiant and unwilling to be made into the bad guy in this. That is what must happen; the public will hear and believe. In the old days the GOP always looked guilty because they went into CYA mode and actually tried to explain whey they had stopped beating their wives. Hemming and hawing is a sign of guilt, even if the person is innocent - he LOOKS guilty. An innocent man is defiant, and so should the Administration remain. It was GOOD's antisocial attack on an ICE agent that led to her own death, not the actions of the law enforcers. In fact some of the others, like Good's partner, should be charged in this.

An automobile is a quarter ton weapon and can be used even more effectively than a gun in the wrong hands.

Before I met my wife she did that. She was in college at the time and coming home. Someone had broken into her car and was forcing her to drive; no doubt he planned on raping her and probably would have killed her afterward. She was smart; she sped up and ran every stop light and stop sign and the man was terrified - he jumped out of the car as soon as she stopped and ran for it. Had she just obeyed he would have raped her and likely put her in the ground. See, he had a knife - she had a car, a far deadlier weapon. (In fact I ripped that last phrase off writer Larry Niven, who wrote a story similar to my wife's experience and he based it on similar stories he had heard. It happens more than people realize; the car is a quarter ton of death.)

This woman planned to use that quarter ton of death to murder a federal agent and no doubt everyone is surprised she was killed when attempting an assassination.

The point is the Democrats and the Left have raised this to a fever pitch and are now engaging in open violence. They have already gone to the assassination phase, having tried and almost succeeded in murdering Trump and having murdered Charlie Kirk. This is revolution. And still the Democrats call the minor riot on Jan. 16, the one where only a rioter was killed and where people mostly went in the Capitol and strolled about, taking selfies, an insurrection while they themselves refuse to call out this sort of violence on the part of their own supporters. They are traitors, frankly.

A caller to Hannity's radio show yesterday made a great point; the Democrats supported the insurrection in 1860 to keep their slaves and they support insurrection today to keep their wage slaves. Who will wash our dishes or cut our lawns if we don't bring in millions of people? The Antebellum Southerners made the same argument "who will pick our cotton or tote our baggage if we don't have slaves"? They haven't changed much since 1865 it seems.

Actually they have - a lot. The Southern rebellion had a core principle rooted in America, and could be seen as a small c conservative movement in that it attempted to preserve a status quo that had to change. And it was about the rights of states to determine their own destiny, something implicit in the Constitution. Now it's about a radicalism that seeks to destroy the U.S. and re-establish it along a more "modern" European value system, with a new population brought in from overseas to water down the old American beliefs and establish a "more just" social order built on socialism and the rule of "experts" and other elites. This is quite at odds with what the South was trying to do at the time of the Civil War; the South just wanted to be left alone. Now the Democrats - the party that once led the rebellion - wants to remake us and demands we pay for it, and they are the ones who refuse to leave anyone else alone.

So perhaps they still follow form if not function. Any way you look at it they are perfectly happy to use whatever means necessary to impose their will, up to and including murder and mayhem.

At some point this is going to go too far and all hell will break loose. We are in a civil war right now, how bad it gets depends on how vicious they want to be. School shootings, for instance, are a coefficient of this same movement and is designed to terrorize Americans and get us to knuckle under for peace. The shooters are usually just dumb kids who are easily recruited and stimulated into it, but it is the left who establishes networks and groups and who WANT this.

Saul Alinsky once said that it was necessary to "rub raw the sores of discontent". In other words, get everyone angry and frightened and at each-other's throats then they can offer a way out. That has been the Left's MO for a century or more. It works by and large.

So that's what this woman was about; she was a foot soldier in a war that ultimately was not in her interest or anyone's but the elites she probably believes are the villains but in fact were her masters.

Her death was at best in vain. That is a sad legacy indeed.
