So, the latest mental gymnastics to deflect blame away from ICE for murdering Renee Good is to claim that it was Good's own fault for doing something likely to get her killed, and pile on top of that a conspiracy theory that leftist activist organizations are intentionally getting their members killed for media attention (no evidence for this latter claim of course, just the usual nonsensical assumption that activists couldn't possibly care about the thing they actually claim to care about - stopping ICE arrests - and so must actually be doing it for some other reason).

But even if the article is right that Good irrationally underestimated the danger of what she was doing, that doesn't reduce the blame that should be put on ICE at all - in fact, it casts them in an even worse light. If ICE is so violent that Good should have expected to be killed for what she did, then they are indeed brutal thugs who ought not be given any power.
