The grieving wife of a woman shot dead by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota broke down in tears and blamed herself for the tragedy.
Harrowing footage from the scene showed the unidentified woman in tears over the shooting death of 37-year-old poet Renee Nicole Good, as she admitted encouraging Good to confront agents.
'I made her come down here, it’s my fault,' she could be heard saying at one point, through tears. 'They just shot my wife.'
Witnesses have claimed Good and her wife were acting as legal observers and filming the protest when she was shot three times in the face at a protest in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
But Good's mother, Donna Ganger, has denied reports that her daughter would have been 'part of anything like' the protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where she was killed.
'That's so stupid,' she told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. '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.'
The distraught mother added that her daughter 'was probably terrified.'
The footage emerged amid tense rhetoric surrounding who was to blame for the woman's death as public officials remained fiercely divided.

You know what else amazes me about this woman? Her amazingly stupid wife is filming her, watches her die and then creates a gofundme. Oh gee never got life insurance on your wife before dragging her to this dangerous event? That was amazingly ignorant. Just going to rely on the old gofundme.
GAAAH!!!!
You typed that phrase!!!
I’m throwing things at you!!! Rotten tomatoes! Dirty sweatsocks! The cat’s litter box!
Whooooooooooo!!
Ok ...
I’ll calm down now and read the rest of your post ...
😉
I believe Good wanted to interfere with ICE in order to impress her wife.
“The grieving wife of a woman…”
What a start to an article! I had to read that several times.
She was a poet. Was about to get shot and didn’t know it. Hey! Now I’m a poet!!
👍
“Legally observing” != “Blocking LEO vehicles with your car”
How so "unidentified?!" I can identify her - and I wasn't even at the scene!
It was Mrs. Good!
Or maybe "Mrs. Mrs. Good." Say, anyone knows how that works with Lesbians?
Regards,
The “witnesses” are false witnesses. The deceased wasn’t just “filming”. The video shows the SUV, moving toward( maybe trying to escape), and hitting the ICE officer. These leftist folk, always provoking, then lying.
Some people are just plain stupid. Being a “poet” doesn’t absolve one from making dumb decisions. Hate to hear about it, but the drivers behaviour is similar to subway surfing morons, Or folks crossing railroad tracks trying to beat the oncoming train to the crossing area.
Never aim a car close to an armed anybody. They will shoot you. A lesson too late for the learnin’
[24] And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, [25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; [26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Our Mission & History
The Management Center (TMC) is a 501c3 organization working to advance justice and equity in the United States. Achieving this goal takes well-crafted strategies, winning over hearts and minds, and building power. It means transforming policies, systems, and structures that were never meant to serve our communities or planet. For managers and leaders, that also means a different approach to management. That’s where TMC comes in:
We help social justice leaders build and run equitable, sustainable, and results-driven organizations.
As the go-to resource on effective management for social justice and educational equity organizations, we’ve worked with nearly two thousand organizations nationwide. We’ve also trained tens of thousands of individual managers on the practices that help organizations committed to racial equity and social justice deliver lasting results over time.
Founded by Jerry Hauser, Rebecca Epstein, and Peter Lewis in 2006 and currently led by Jakada Imani, our team has experience leading organizations and campaigns for immigrant rights and racial justice, educational equity, fair elections, LGBTQ rights, reproductive justice, and more—just like our clients.
We offer: intensive coaching services for executive directors and their senior leadership teams; management training courses that equip managers and leaders with skills, practices, and tools they can put to work immediately; and an array of curated resources on effective (equitable, sustainable, and results-driven) management. Read more about what we mean by “effective” in The Three Dimensions of Effective Management.
Since 2006, The Management Center has:
Shaped the management practices of more than 124,000 individual leaders
Helped more than 1,900 organizations get better results
Distributed more than 12,700 copies of our book Management in a Changing World
Bad for everyone all the way around... But they started it and ICE was just doing their job.
I have watched the tape of a woman using her vehicle in attempts to harm federal agents.
FAFO.
Once again, the occupying insanity of an all hormones no logic relationship.
I can’t stop laughing.
I don't mind it at all. It does wonders for my self esteem.
“Legal observers”. Another made up role of self-importance in their minds to justify interfering with law enforcement.
They failed to mention the video shows the Darwin Award Winner aimed right at the ICE officer and actually hit him with her 3000 pound weapon, requiring him to be hospitalized. She was there as many Leftists are to agitate and obstruct federal officers in the performance of their duty.
Nobody cares what lies mayor Fairy tells. He gets no say in federal law enforcement and neither does the corrupt governor.
Lemme put it this way....I have every bit as much sympathy for her as Leftists had for Ashley Babbit.
She was approached by actual men, who didn’t share her psychosis.
She wasn’t psychologically equipped to react appropriately to being confronted for her misbehavior. A lifestyle of utter unaccountability can do that to an adult woman.
She made a snap decision to flee.
This Guy is imagining that due to distraction from the left direction, she was legit not aware of the officer approaching her SUV from the right, and eventually, from in front of her, at least until it was too late to avoid hitting him.
The speed of impact when the SUV later came to rest was a result of her dead body pushing the accelerator pedal downward after the shooting.
All this said, This Guy has been hearing that the road was icy. She may have recklessly punched the accelerator while alive, immediately after shifting into drive (”D”).
