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.

“made her come down here” sounds like the deceased was bullied into harassing the federal agents. And I understated the bully was filming the whole incident after placing her victim in harm’s way?
Many of these relationships have one member who is extremely manipulative.
The mother immediately said her daughter wouldn’t do this. The bullying partner, to her pathetic credit, immediately admitted she forced the girl into this.
I’m sure the one shot reacted as she did because her first emotion was loyalty to the ridiculous leftist lesbian who got her killed.
Put this mother of three in harms way because she was a left wing controlling dyke.
“In the footage from the scene, Good's wife also mentioned her six-year-old child.
‘That's my wife, I don't know what to do,’ the onlooker wailed.
The man filming the video then asked if she had any friends who could help.
‘I have a six-year-old at school... we're new here, we don't have anyone,’ she answered.
At that point, a frantic onlooker shouted: ‘We need a doctor.’
The man asked if she knew any of her wife's relatives she could call but she said, ‘I can't even deal with that now.’
Photos of the woman's car in the aftermath showed children's toys inside, including a plush animal and a child's drawing.”
The article gives a heart wrenching depiction of children's toys in the car, but it conveniently omits mentioning the gun that was also in the car.
Bringing a gun to the kind aggressive and violent confrontations we are seeing between Antifa sanctuary city activists and ICE officers is incriminating and under most circumstances illegal in Minnesota.
Minnesota Laws on Carrying Guns (Especially Concealed Handguns) in Vehicles- Minnesota is not a constitutional carry (permit less carry) state. A Permit to Carry a Pistol (issued by a county sheriff) is required to carry a loaded or readily accessible handgun (pistol) in a vehicle or in public places, including the interior of a motor vehicle on public roads. Carrying a pistol without a permit in a vehicle is illegal in Minnesota
Given that Good and her wife were “new in town” it is very doubtful that they have a permit for the weapon they had in the car
Illegal possession of a gun in the car of an Antifa style activist who was reportedly one of the leaders and organizers of the ICE confrontation is very problematic and raises a lot of questions and serious concerns given the recent attempted assassinations of ICE and Border Patrol officers across the country.
This looks a lot like a case of a couple of committed (and armed) Antifa style protest organizers who drove in from out of town to organize and instigate the kind of violent confrontational protests we saw during the Floyd riots which were organized and instigated in a similar fashion.
Not exactly the kind of behavior you see from innocent bystanders.
Gnome: “Mentally ill women are at the center of America’s problems.”
af_vet: “Charlie Kirk’s assassin and President Trump’s attempted assassins are not women.?
I don’t think Gnome meant it in relation to ONLY murders. Overall, mentally ill, i.e., “liberal”, women are HUGE negative causes of problems. That’s whether they do the deeds themselves, or influence their children to make horrible choices and commit crimes.
“The name Mattie Weiss appears to be connected to a nonprofit political activist organization called the management center”
Weiss. Sounds like another American self-loathing Jew. When will America’s Jews wake up and smell the coffee about their own futures — and STOP supporting liberal/RAT causes?
That puts it into perspective a little better.
That's all I need to read. They're all crazy.
SCOTUS Plumhoff v. Rickard 2014
9-0 decision
Justice Alito writes:
“It stands to reason that, if police officers are justified in firing at a suspect in order to end a severe threat to public safety, the officers need not stop shooting until the threat has ended.”
What is a “legal observer”?
Is that just another term for American Communist?
I’m sorry she got killed. She did act in a way that was life-threatening to the LEOs at the scene.
That was unwise.
The democrat machine and the Establishment media have worked these people into a lather. The cynic in me says they are looking to get martyrs for their cause.
You raise an interesting question. I believe the answer may be in what the officer is trained to do in these situations and the laws on the books related to these situations. Despite claimed justification based on ICE training and despite the laws written to address these type incidents - we know that judgement will boil down to: judge, jury, prosecutor, defense attorney, and corporate new/media. In what court will the case be held? Who will be the judge, the prosecutor, the defense attorney?
A real man keeps his wife safe.
I’m sure that will be a pivotal issue in the court case, and shoved in our faces for the next year.
I saw some commentary on this subject this morning. The expert said if the state of Minnesota charges the officer, the feds would move to have the case shifted to the federal court and the case dropped.
I wonder if the cops wrote her a ticket for having MO plates on her car when she resided in Minneapolis.
* In lesbian relationships, there’s always one who plays the man*
“Darling, let me be frank.”
“No, I wanna be Frank.”
It’s like on Dateline murder shows: The victim always “lights up every room they walk into…”
Insurrection
But Good’s mother, Donna Ganger:
“She was such a good girl...”
Confronting armed agents with a car can be dangerous? Who knew?
For the record, they had Missouri plates and Minnesota does recognize Missouri CCW permits, if they had one.
Yes. She just confessed she's guilty of murder under the Felony Murder rule.
Both Obstruction of Justice as well as Aiding and Abetting/Harboring are felonies. If someone dies in the commission of a felony, the others involved in the crime are on the hook for murder under the Felony Murder rule.
