I believe what ICE is doing is legal and necessary and that Renee Good made the fatal mistake of being involved in the riots against ICE and she paid the price. I feel sorry for her son for having what I see as such a misguided mom.
I am sick and tired of rioters, who I believe are paid, who do not care about the United States and the ICE agents just trying to get rid of what I consider the trash in our country.
If I were president of the United States, this is what I would do about the riots against ICE in Minnesota, or anywhere in the U.S.:
I would declare martial [law] and bring in the members of the United States military. I would order the military to cordon off the area around where members of ICE are working and allow no vehicles or rioters in the area. I would ring the cordoned off area with members of the United States military with orders to shoot to kill!
I would tell the rioters you can scream, cuss, stomp your feet, have hissy fits, I do not give a damn, but if you step one inch over this line you will be shot. We will furnish your transportation to the hospital if the shot is not fatal.
I am dead serious. If I was the president, this is exactly what I would do. These rioters, who I think are paid, need to be stopped one way or another.
