The Shooting of Renee Good

An ICE Agent Uses Lethal Force in Self Defense, Bringing American Society Closer to Unrest and Upheaval

Author’s note: this essay concerns a story that is still developing. There will likely be revisions. Certain video footage is likely to be embedded in the body of the essay as well, just as important images may be added.

As most if not all readers are doubtlessly well aware, on January 7, 2026, there was a fatal shooting in connection with the ICE investigations and raids that are currently transpiring in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The incident was captured on various angles, including smartphone footage from one of the protestors. As an aside, it is interesting that it is obvious that the woman filming that footage is a white woman of child-bearing age, as immediately apparent from thatwoman’s cadence and manner of speaking. One can also see what appears to be an attractive blonde woman in a dark red hat. These and other instances demonstrate again how women have been indoctrinated and programmed against their own kind, their interests, and civilization.

All of the footage available shows ICE agents detaining the SUV with verbal commands. One agent is at the driver’s door, while another is in front of the vehicle, with others at the ready in the immediate area. The driver pressed the acceleration while the second agent was still in front of the vehicle. He can be seen raising his pistol in anticipation and fires several shots as the vehicle accelerates towards him. Just as that agent in front escapes, the vehicle accelerates rapidly after the driver was struck, crashing into a white vehicle that was parked in the street at about 100 yards ahead. The agent in question was struck by the vehicle, and was taken to hospital before being released. It should also be noted that a number of witness accounts state Good and her lesbian “wife” were obstructing ICE by impeding the roads as a sort of “rolling rollblock.” It was for this reason ICE detained the vehicle.

Renee Good, left, and her late husband, Timothy Macklin, right.

The deceased is (or was) one Renee Good. Early reports indicate she was married to one Timothy Macklin, a professional comedian who died in 2023. Renee Good has a six year old son with her deceased husband. Since then she has been in a lesbian relationship with Rebecca Good, while also still a mother with that son and two other children. It has also been revealed she had a prior marriage to another man before being maried to Macklin, with whom she had two children that she does not have custody of.

Her Instagram was made private just as her name was released to the public. It is unclear at this time what age those children are and with whom they were conceived. So far very little has been archived from that social media account, although her profile description signals white leftist woman of middle class affluence, replete with the customizable pronouns that are both an affront to sound grammatical principles as well as cold, hard biological reality. More will be revealed about Renee Good in the coming days, weeks, and months, but it is interesting how a widow who had been married to a man for sometime (how much time is not yet known) and then decides she is a lesbian. Just as this indicates, at least for women, that homosexuality or more particularly lesbianism is not a born condition, it also suggests a concerted effort by Good to achieve some sort of ranking in the progressive stack, as so many millions of others do and have done. A “cis white woman’ cannot be a woman of color, but she can be lesbian, or gender fluid, or non-binary, replete with rainbow flags and stupid, customizable pronouns.

There should be little controversy that the ICE agent had both an objective and subjective fear for his life. A motor vehicle is obviously a deadly vehicle in such circumstances, even in Minnesota. These elements together indicate the ICE agent will succeed on grounds of self-defense, a perfect defense for manslaughter and murder charges. And yet many of the left have concluded it was not a justified shooting.

There are challenges whether this image of Renee Good. Consider this picture was taken when she was somewhat younger.

Such delusion is compounded not only by Minnesota politics, but the politicians in charge there. First and foremost, Keith “Blackie” Ellison is still the attorney general of Minnesota. Readers will of course remember his role in the Derek Chauvin fiasco, the powder keg from which the Black Lives Matter and “St. George” riots exploded in 2020, as well as all various other troubles from that time period. Chauvin was denied a fair trial, as his conviction was an all but foregone conclusion. All of his colleagues were tried and convicted as well, as their careers in law enforcement and indeed lives have been ruined. Then there is Mayor Jacob Frey, an effeminate Jew who also played his own particular role in the events of 2020 and beyond.

Tim Walz, despite not running for a third term in the wake of the Somali daycare fraud scandal that tallies untold billions of misappropriated governor funds, has not yet resigned, although often such announcements are a precursor to resignation. They should of course be a precursor to a federal indictment and subsequent conviction with stiff sentencing. Be that as it may, he is still governor of Minnesota, and his press conference later that day, January 7, expressly signaled open defiance of federal authority by way of ICE and the federal enforcement of immigration laws. In that press conference, Walz stated that he has “issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard” in response to ICE’s presence and the shooting incident that occurred today. This is not (yet) a deployment of the National Guard to obstruct federal enforcement of immigration laws, but is a precursor to it. This announcement was tempered by qualifying language that seeks to temper the gravity of this decision. One such example is found in this excerpt:

In this warning order, there’s nothing officially been done yet. If I am to activate them as the commander-in-chief of the Minnesota National Guard, I will issue the executive order... In this case, again, it doesn’t necessarily change the mission. They’re there to protect Minnesotans.

Such tempering language was enflamed with his closing remarks that urge defiance of federal authority on this matter.

To Minnesotans... do not take the bait. Do not allow them to deploy federal troops into here. Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act. Do not allow them to declare martial law. Do not allow them to lie about the security and the decency of this state.

He also made a comment certifying that any potential deployment of the National Guard and the Minnesota State patrol is to intervene against federal action, denoted by the loaded term “rogue federal agent.”

And you can be assured whether it’s the state patrol or whether it’s the national guard, their deployment is there to protect Minnesotans from whatever it is. if it’s an act of nature, um if it’s a global pandemic, or in this case, um if it is a rogue federal agent.

Jack Posobiec and other influences and commentators have asserted such rhetoric as well as the comments by Mayor Frey are sedition and grounds for Trump to invoke The Insurrection Act. Whether Trump will do just that of course remains to be seen, just as it remains to be seen whether this shooting will serve as the catalyst for something similar to the unrest and upheaval, the rioting, destruction and lawlessness, in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

What should be clear, what should have been clear to a critical mass of the populace long ago, is that these are not disagreements contemplated in the social contract inherent in a democratic republic. The ability and legitimacy of a state to protect its borders and enforce reasonable immigration laws is not something reasonable minds can disagree on. This goes to first principles, similar to opposition to pedophilia, or human sacrifice, or any other matters on which there simply can be no debate, no room for disagreement. That such matters do go to first principles is demonstrated by how such policies embraced by the left will lead to unimaginable hardship, an unending number social problems (crime, balkanization of society, increased stress and even overwhelming burden on social welfare programs, housing shortage, the list goes on and on). Such mad folly as embraced by the “no borders, no human is illegal” mindset will lead to civilizational ruin, and will do so with absolute, mathematical certainty. For this reason, and many others, those who believe as Renee Good did as well as a large contingent of the population that embrace her politics and ideology must not be allowed to vote, must not be allowed to have political power. This is just as evident as the fact that, once power has been regained and consolidated, the left will remove those who disagree with their civilization-destroying delirium from power. One side will win, and one side will lose. However, the longer those opposed to the left do not discern this fundamental truth, the greater the likelihood the left will ultimately prevail, with unfathomable consequences for those who rightly oppose the maddest delirium of leftist politics and indeed for European civilization and its posterity.
