Father of Renee Good’s late husband breaks silence after seeing new angle of shooting footage

 

There are surely very few people the world over who have seen the harrowing footage of Renee Good’s fatal shooting and not formed an opinion one way or another.

The 37-year-old mother was shot by an ICE officer during an interaction last week in Minneapolis. Reports claim Good had been obstructing ICE agents with her vehicle, while video footage seemingly confirmed she was trying to flee when ICE officer Jonathan Ross opened fire.

Ross, positioned in front of Good’s car as she tried to drive away, fired three shots into the vehicle, killing Good before muttering “f****g b***h” as she drove away and crashed.

The horrifying incident has proven to be a catalyst for heated debate online, while high-profile figures on either side of the U.S.’s political divide continue to fiercely argue their respective stances.

The Department of Homeland Security were quick to label Good a “domestic terrorist”, a sentiment echoed by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

The stance of the Trump administration very much appears to be that Good was trying to run over ICE agents, thereby enabling Ross (the officer who shot her dead) to claim that his actions were in self-defense.



Others, meanwhile, including the Mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Frey, have openly declared that Good was murdered, and that Ross should be charged.

So divisive has the turn of events proven that even Good’s family are split on whether or not her killing can be justified within the bounds of the law.

The 37-year-old’s former father-in-law recently revealed in an interview that he doesn’t blame ICE for Good’s death. Speaking to CNN, Timmy Macklin, father of Renee’s second husband Tim Macklin Jr, said he believed the situation was ‘hard for everybody involved’.

“I’m not blaming anybody,” he said of Ross’ decision to shoot Good in the head.


“I mean, the ICE agent, you know, at first I didn’t see the footage where he was actually being rammed.

“I’ve seen the bumper of the car hitting his legs. And so in a flash like that, it’s hard to say how you would react.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Macklin confirmed he was a supporter of Donald Trump, adding that he did not agree with the actions of his former daughter-in-law (Good) on the day she was killed.

“I think there’s some bad choices… if we’re walking in the spirit of God, I don’t think she would have been there. That’s the way I look at it,” he said.

Reflecting on Ross’ decision to call Good a “f*****g b***c” after firing the fatal shots, Macklin said: “His statement that he made after the incident, the things he called her, I mean, that’s definitely showing evidence that he that he don’t know the Lord like he should.”

In an interview with Donald Trump yesterday, CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil revealed that he’d spoken with Renee’s father, relaying that he was also a supporter of the 47th POTUS.

When asked by Dokoupil for his thoughts on his administration branding Renee a ‘domestic terrorist’, Trump said: “I wanna say to the father that I love all of our people. They can be on the other side.

“And I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person. But, you know, her actions were pretty tough.”

More people are coming out as Aegosexual – here’s what it means

  As discussions around sexuality become more layered, so does the vocabulary used to describe them. One term now drawing attention is aegosexual, an “identity-less” experience that’s defined by “disconnection.” With gender and sexuality now part of everyday conversation, it’s no surprise that a growing number of new labels are finding their way into the mainstream. Aegosexuality, part of the asexual spectrum, describes people who experience arousal or desire without wanting to engage in sexual activity. At its core, the identity centers on a disconnect between experiencing attraction and wanting to personally act on it. ‘Disconnection’ The concept was first introduced in 2012 by Canadian psychologist and sexologist Anthony Bogaert, who originally referred to it as “autochorissexualism.” Bogaert described the experience as an “identity-less sexuality,” that’s “characterized by a disconnection between their sense of self and a sexual object or target.” In practical terms, someone wh...

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...
