Death Of An Unpopular Poet

After watching her appearance describing the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by her ICE goons, I wondered if Kristi "ICE Queen" Noem had children of her own.

She does. Two daughters and a son: Kassidy, Kennedy and Booker. 

I wondered how she might describe any event that resulted in the injury or death of one of her kids. I'm not guessing that she would immediately point the finger of blame at them and call it "domestic terrorism." 

That's how the ICE Queen referred to the death of Renee Nicole Good who was shot and killed by an unidentified ICE Goon just blocks from her house.  Ms. Good's mother described her: “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

Renee had a son whose father died two years ago. That six year old now has no mother or father. The ICE goon who shot Renee is somebody's son. His father insists  his son as a “tremendous” person of whom he is deeply proud. Which I suppose is what parents ought to say, even if that parent's son just shot someone through the head. 

I'm not exactly clear on how we define "domestic terrorism" these days, but it seems that this loss of life should be considered a civilian casualty in the Trumpreich's attempt to weed out what they have decided is the scourge of Somalian immigrants in Minneapolis. 

Ms. Good was not a Somali. She was a poet, an avid movie lover, and former resident of Colorado. I can relate to that bio. 

I cannot relate to the continued resolve by Kristi and her goons to use unnecessary force to do a job that no one asked them to do. 

No one in their right minds, that is. Just the guy who screamed "In Springfield, they're eating the dogs..." He's the one who ended up in the White House. He's got kids too. 

But he's definitely not a poet.
