Absolutely perfectly said Olivia. The outrage should be turned into peaceful resistance and more marches by the masses. This cannot just be tolerated by the American people. You summed it up so well. Thank you.

Thank you Olivia. You state explicitly the danger of this shooting. This needs to be what I call the "Four Dead in Ohio" moment when our nation reacted with horror to the shooting of four students at Kent State. This event must not be forgotten. It needs to be the spark that ignites outrage at the Trump administration's policy and use of ICE and other federal officers to meet demonstrations with violence.

Olivia I totally agree with you on all sides. It was to create an escalation so they could send in the National Guard to take over! Yes it was political and yes it is unforgivable and yes they should own it. No Ms Good wasn't a terrorist, she was trying to get out of the way and those ICE used her as an example. Unfortunately, they didn't expect the outcome that happened. And the excuses are also unforgivable. The leader of this mess should be removed. I'm sorry to say she is just a political weapon in the entirety of this whole thing. She stood there and gave a "white washed" opinion of what she thought was happening. She should be removed.

Thank you for writing this Olivia. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops.

The First Amendment protects the right to peaceful protest. Killing people in the streets of our Country is off limits. Thinking of Renee's kids, Noems response is Diabolical at best.

Well said, Olivia. I am looking for locations of an organized protest in my area wearing the "Ruthless Patriots" hat. Hopefully the dirty shooter will be identified and prosecuted by the state of Minnesota. We know the Feds are already corrupt and won't prosecute. Until that time, here is some advice for the shooter:

Please know that the FBI has taken over this whole investigation. Minneapolis and Minnesota now are not part of this. That is obvious in its motive -- lie and cover-up!

Allen B from MD's avatar

Agreed, Jim. But that cannot ultimately stop a state investigation and prosecution under our Federal system. The Feds have the lead...for now. A separate state investigation is still legally possible if the Feds attempt a coverup or hide the evidence, and there is not a thing the Feds can do to stop it.

Jim's avatar

THESE FEDS are obviously not playing by the rules. They will coverup, hide, and do it again. The law enforcement of our government is under the executive branch and those people are amoral now.

Although I've been an EMT, I found I couldn't watch the video. That said, I am immensely grateful to those who did document this heinous crime, and though the thought of another such incident sickens me, I hope that more people will be able to present evidence to prove what liars ICE and this whole maladministration are.

Increasingly it seems this all is exactly going as intended by this administration. They’re developing a cadre of armed thugs to kill the citizens of this country. They’re developing brown shirts. We’re heading to civil war.

Developing? They're here.

Olivia, You are so right!! We have to remain outraged and keep these outrageous actions in the forefront of the country’s awareness.

As always, thank you for your insight

Yesterday, as I received a notification on my phone about the shooting, I tuned in to a news station and heard Kristi Noem's news conference descibing the incident. It wasn't until later I viewed videos of the incident. It was jarring. What I saw didn't jive at all with what I was told by Noem (and later by Trump).

What I saw was a murder—not domestic terrorism and not self-defense.

This is unacceptable.

And I am so angry right now!!

I don't watch or listen to any of them from Trump on down. I don't need to hear any more lies.

Well said! Good to hear intelligent well articulated analysis 👍

Hi Olivia: I am thrilled that I was able to shake your hand and thank you for your courage on Tuesday evening. Please keep fighting the Good fight and know that your sacrifices are respected and valued. KG

Ken, it was so nice to meet you in person! Thank you for coming to the show and for following my work. See you next time!

Legacy media, among others, could run headlines like ICE=SS or Impeach Trump or Trump:The Compulsive Liar.

You’re doing a great job calling out this gangland style administration Olivia. Thank you!

Olivia of Troye's avatar

Thank you Barry. I appreciate you supporting my work and paying attention.

Thank you for your words of wisdom. I’ve barely slept after yesterday. My father (who had me late in his life), and two uncles fought in WWII. I learned from them. I studied Germany from WWI -WWII. My grandfather fought in WWI. Everything I learned from my family members who fought against fascism is now happening here. How have we forgotten history? How do people not see the similarities? It’s chilling.

Olivia of Troye's avatar

I completely understand. I actually haven’t been able to sleep either. We have entered an even more dangerous phase in this country. It is indeed chilling.
