OMG, this! When driving in the dark (pretty much all the time in winter) I often use GPS even when I know where I’m going if I don’t know EXACTLY where a turn is, cause the signs are useless at night.

Vance's stance is, almost literally, "Well, she shouldn't have mouthed off like that. She asked for it."
When Vance insists, contra the videos, that Good threatened the ICE agent and "had it coming", what he means is that he, like Ross, feels threatened by any woman who has the audacity to use her voice in the public sphere.
This deeply misogynist worldview is core to MAGA.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Wondering how I did it?
I boiled water and added two tablespoons of vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice.
I soaked it for 20 minutes, and after that, it looked the same, so I bought a brand new one.
