There wasn't a paywall for me, but thanks for the archive link.

The guidelines say no More than 4 paragraphs, not that you must put 4 paragraphs.

9. So what is the LBN point of this article? That a bereaved spouse is blaming herself? So we should absolve ICE?

Survivors tend to have survivor guilt. This feels exploitive of Rebecca.

But I'm sure Noem loves the headline.

2. This is what I'd been suspecting. And I DO NOT mean this in *any* derogatory way so please don't take me wrong

But I'd say there's at least SOME chance the asshole Ross took one look at the couple and drew an immediate conclusion, one which may have infuriated him.

Also, what a beautiful smile Renee had

5. How could the ICE goons have known anything about these women's personal lives?

I'm single but I frequently drive with other women in the passenger seat for the simple reason that some of my friends cannot drive for one reason or another. Does this mean I'm going to be shot in broad daylight because I had the bad luck of driving down the wrong street? This is insanity ....

Americans cannot live this way ....

And why should ICE-goons be allowed to do this?

6. Cops do a lot of stereotyping without really knowing jack shit about the personal lives of people they come across

And many of them harbor all manner of animosities towards particular groups of their fellow Americans. A disdain for, and suspicion against, African Americans being a rather well-known one, but there are others.

And in absolutely NO WAY am I suggesting " ICE-goons be allowed to do this", so I hope that was not directed at me.

7. Apologies for my over-reaction

Of course I wasn't directing this at you personally. Two women riding together in a car doesn't mean they are lesbians, that was my point.

This thing in Minneapolis is getting me all emotional and upset. I know several people in Minnesota, including my own nephew and his lovely fiancee. Minnesotans are just the sweetest, nicest people on earth, and I can't imagine the horror they are going through right now.

8. No problem, I just assumed probably I'd accidently crossed a line

that I was not aware existed or fail to intuit that what I'm saying could be seen as offensive. I can be a little daft sometimes. All good, friend

And yeah, OMFG I'm basically non-functional over this murder. I'm even craving going to the damn liquor store even though I *really* try to drink only on vacation or a very special occasion. This has me wanting to down a 750ml of vodka like nothing else since the night IQ47 won.

I'm just so, SOOOOO FUCKING PISSED, and heartbroken for this beautiful lady and her family, esp. the 3 kids

10. Here's more from the part about blaming herself, FWIW

Rebecca was outside the vehicle at the time, apparently confronting ICE agents. According to the footage, she did not immediately realize her wife had been shot until the SUV accelerated and crashed into another car down the block. She was later seen kneeling in the snow, blood on her face, crying and saying she had been the one who asked Renee to come down and protest the ICE operation.

11. Absolutely heartbreaking. I wish I could console Rebecca and tell her very supportively that it was the fault

I see the world is responding to support on GoFundMe with $. She will get a good lawer and hopefully some mental health counciling.
