JD Vance is a worse Catholic that I am, and I'm such a bad Catholic that I stopped being Catholic.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good
After the tragic shooting of Renee Good at the hands of ICE, the Catholic vice president of the United States took to social media to justify the killing.

I’m sorry this is fucking ridiculous and I am furious.
You have video.
And you can go talk to witnesses.
That’s more than enough.

Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?
JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

The time for state police to arrest the ICE agent is yesterday. You may still be able to do it now. Once that's done, start investigating those who participated in the cover-up.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

Investigate without them!
You do not need their help.
This happened in your state! No state lines. Nothing.

GOV. WALZ: “Now that Minnesota has been taken out of the investigation, it feels very difficult that we will get a fair outcome. And I say that only because people in positions of power have already passed judgment. They have stood and told you things that are verifiably false.”

Well gollllllllly, Mr. Senator. I'm sure Marco will take your disappointment under advisement and adjust his behavior accordingly. Indeed. But just in case, you should probably write a strongly worded letter about it.

If Renee Nicole Good was killed in the exact same way by a Somali American, there would be a bill named after her in Congress to ban Somalis and every RW troll would have a pic of her as his avatar.
Instead bc of who killed her, they will do everything they can to paint her as a villain.

Yes, but tell me again how Ashli Babbitt is a patriot and an American hero and her family deserves $5 million in a wrongful death settlement. Because I'm pretty sure a federal officer gave her instructions and she didn't abide by them.

I was once a witness to a federal execution by lethal injection. The warden stood next to the prisoner the whole time. The thing that stuck with me was how bizarre it felt to watch someone being killed while the person who could stop it did nothing.
That’s what America feels like right now.
