And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

Covering culture from a faith angle isn't easy. It's not every day you get a piece of real, capital 'A' Art that really lends itself to religious interrogation. But Rosalía's 'Lux' is as profound a piece of religious art as we've had in ages, and Ezra Cracker is absolutely the person to unpack it.

Jen Lyell saw the SBC abuse crisis as "a movement of God to purify and protect his bride," she told me in 2019, just as she began speaking up and sharing her story.
Her case became more trying, and reform efforts stalled.
