Crushed ICE

Of all the quotes in the aftermath of Renee Good’s murder, former Minnesota governor’s Jesse Ventura’s was the most accurate.

The United States of America is a third-world country.

As Ventura explained, those countries use the military for so-called police work.

While the past imperfections of our nation stood in stark contrast to our projected image, we could muster an inconsistent argument for being a nation of law and order.

We can no longer make any such argument.

America is a police state and ICE is our Gestapo.

Renee Good was killed after trying to leave the scene of a previously innocuous confrontation.

Keith Porter Jr. was celebrating the New Year by discharging his firearm, a common occurrence across America, when he was killed by an ICE agent.

Renee was White and Keith was Black, which is why we’ve heard more about the former than the latter.

That racial perspective brought America to this embarrassing juncture.

The president’s election was powered by racism and fueled by nativism.

Non-Whites were constantly told that if they obeyed the law, they would be safe.

Breonna Taylor broke the law by sleeping.

Bothel Jean broke the law by eating ice cream in his apartment.

A White woman is murdered by ICE after driving away and attempting to deescalate.

Even after her murder, some are telling the same lies they used to tell non-Whites.

“Obey.”

“Comply.”

“You’ll be okay.”

If a White woman in Minnesota isn’t safe from the jackboots, no one is safe.

They aren’t arresting illegal aliens.

They aren’t securing our borders.

They are murdering our citizens with the same impunity used to murder non-White citizens by American law enforcement.

ICE is filled with military and law enforcement wannabes.

Racist thugs who dreamed all their lives of having a badge, a gun, and a license to kill.

They want to be feared.

They want their names to be whispered with awe and trembling.

They want manufactured respect to bolster their lack of self-respect.

They want counterfeit honor and valor because they don’t have the requisites to achieve the genuine articles.

They are listless cowards hiding behind masks, empowered by a government filled with like-minded sycophants.

We can’t count on Congress to rectify the situation.

We can’t rely on the president, the Department of Justice, or any branch of government to reinstitute any semblance of law and order.

The Supreme Court won’t save us.

Action must be taken in the streets.

Mass protests must be launched with White people at the forefront.

Government and law enforcement officials with consciences and morals must disobey unlawful orders.

ICE must be crushed.

Its members must be arrested and prosecuted; it must be disbanded and discarded in the dustbin of fascist police forces.

Put them in the pile on top of the SS and Gestapo.

Next to the Securitate and Soviet KGB.

Bury them deep.

And when this regime is out of power, make the appropriate laws so this can never happen again.

Ms. Good and Mr. Porter’s death can’t be avenged, but their death can be catalysts for change.
