BLOOD ON KRISTI’S HANDS, AGAIN; THIS TIME IT BELONGS TO A MOM NAMED RENEE GOOD

By Jeff Kamen

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem first became widely known to most Americans after she boasted about murdering, “Cricket,” shooting her bird dog after it ate her neighbor’s chickens.

We all got to know Kristi a bit better after Trump made her secretary of homeland security. Apparently one of the requirements for her job was that she looks like she is doing her best to mimic the Melania look. Trump picked some of his US attorneys with the same eye to fashion and body type. Qualifications be damned. They looked great on TV.

The spotlight Kristi craves got a whole lot brighter when she posed in a really cute outfit outside a Salvadoran prison cell filled to the walls with lightly clad Venezuelan male migrants illegally transported there from the United States by Kristi and her lads at ICE under the orders of Herr Miller at the White House and doing it in defiance of the order of a federal judge.

Well, now, Kristi has done it again. Got herself into the spotlight that she loves and this time she was wearing a really cute cowboy hat. But this time, it wasn’t because she was home on the range in South Dakota, shooting a dog, or being the Trump administration’s arm candy for illegal deportations to a notorious prison in El Salvador. This time it wasn’t a puppy she killed, this time the puppy was a human being and this time she may have to pay for it and maybe her boss will, too.

Yesterday, within hours of the incident, she told the world — apparently without doing any investigation of her own—that her ICE boys in Minneapolis shot to death that 37-year old mom, who the DHS boss said was engaged in “domestic terrorism.” Noem said that Renee Good, the woman motorist was trying to kill the ICE men with her van. The one with the stuffed animal for the mom’s six-year-old.

Unfortunately, for Secretary of DHS Kristi Noem, and for Trump, there is a real problem. It sure looks like the unedited, clear video of the actual event offers a stunningly different story from the Administration line whuch affirms that ICE pumped those high velocity bullets into the van driver’s head to defend themselves from her vehicular attack.

The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, held a press conference at which he declared the ICE self-defense story is “bullshit“ and, “garbage.” He used that unusually choice language after he reviewed the video and that was the same press conference at which the mayor told ICE to, “get the fuck out of Minneapolis.“

My friend James Smith, a brilliant, highly respected, retired, senior law enforcement professional carefully reviewed the video and called it, “Murder!” That’s pretty much been the response from many seasoned, sharp minded, law-enforcement professionals, and others across the planet.

But who knows? Trump is the political magician who lied his way back into office, declaring, endlessly, and without evidence, that the 2020 election had been stolen from him. Look how many people he managed to convince. Maybe he can do it again despite the evidence in the killing of the mom who also turns out to have been a poet. Please see the FB post below.
