There are how many millions of unregistered guns in America?
That murdering pig will eventually eat and choke on his own karma.
There's a reason why the rest of the world sneers at 'Murica
...which is strange considering how many people risk their lives trying to get here. If America was as bad as it seems, you'd think there would be more illegal immigration in the opposite direction.
Whaddya call digital nomads visa hopping and dodging US taxes and the domestic taxes of the nations they're in?
his wife is a filipino from phillipines, married green card method.
I fucking hate goons.
Trash. Don't even give that Trumpgoon a name. Renee Good was murdered by scum.
He has a name, he has a face, he has a bank account, he has a home address, and he has the right to a jury of his peers.
He is a fascist, an invader, and a murderer. Knowing his name can help in seeking justice.
oh and the person representing him in future cases in court is the same one that dropped out of the michigan governership for the next election.

Civil lawsuits can take earnings that result when profiting from a wrongful death ... like this guy is doing.
Justice is restored!
It's just that, has it been convicted of any crime?
No. Im not sure there will be a crime charged ... the system is too corrupt. There could be a civil suit.
A civil suit to recover profits from a crime the state does not recognize. From when the nazi storm trooper murdered a lady on camera.
You get why people make fun of liberals, right?
Hope he dies soon
From a financial perspective it's not really a secret -- big money is backing the far-right and conservative media and political sphere. Systems like GoFundMe and others are ripe targets for grifting of course, but they're also ripe for manipulating public opinion. Do you have an agenda and lots of money? You can easily afford bot services and then split your pile of money up among dozens, hundreds, thousands or more different accounts to give the impression that a cause like this is more popular than it is. Or you can use your social media influence to manipulate people into donating on your behalf. And of course the bonus is that it emboldens and encourages those who actually do believe this shit to speak up and participate, amplifying the message even more.
And aside from all that, there's just a subset of people who are out of touch but who truly believe that danger is imminent and lurking around every corner. They're getting fear based messaging from social media, Fox News, and elsewhere that's got them literally thinking that illegal immigrants are hiding in the bushes ready to murder them the moment they step out of their car. I know people whose world view is so skewed towards fear that they genuinely think it's dangerous to go into the city of 40K population for a doctor's appointment. They think people are getting murdered left and right on every street corner every minute of every day. And no amount of reassurance from a more sane and measured perspective seems to change that.
dont feel safe passing through a town of 40k population
I cant think of any population from 40k that id feel safe around.
think people are getting raped and murdered on every street corner every minute of every day
I think they assume everyone else has the same job they do.
Seventeen thousand donors...out of eight billion people.
Remember the real numbers here.
That's a misleading-denominator fallacy. 8 billion isn't the relevant pool. Most of those people don't live in the US, don't follow this story, don't use GoFundMe, and have no stake in US immigration enforcement.
By your logic, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (17 million donors) represented only 0.2% of humanity, so ALS awareness was a nothingburger. Obviously not true.
Donating is a costly and strong signal. For every person who pays, many more quietly agree. 17,000 paying donors typically implies hundreds of thousands of sympathizers, which is a meaningful bloc in a country of 160 million voters.
You might have meant something narrower, like 'loud online fundraising can overstate real support.' That's a fair point worth making. The 8 billion framing isn't.
17 thousand is still a lot.... brb setting up a second guillotine
He needs to be put in prison.
He needs to be put under the prison.
Best we can do is make him a millionaire.
Ugh, fucking bummer
I'm generally not supportive of the death penalty but when the evidence is this clear and the murderer is a LEO, given the power of life and death over the rest of us, then he needs to be executed, just like he executed Renee Good.
This is why I get a bit pissed at opponents to the death penalty.
Yes, I think they make a good case for uncertainty of guilt. If the defendant in any way still protests the evidence or there could be any room for jury bias or any “UNreasonable doubts” over the murder, especially when it was only a single person, yes, I think it’s safer to avoid the Death Penalty.
But in cases where it was overt, repeated, caught on video, clearly intentional, and/or took advantage of a position held to a higher standard, I think yes; certain bad people really should die.
And look at how many evil people wanted him freed; if he was simply given a life sentence, the campaign to release him for “just doing his job” would be perpetually huge.
Meanwhile, the campaign to release Charlie Kirk from prison has gone quiet.
I like how you're seeing the justice system failing here, and then you're arguing to give it more power. If you can't get it to work in the way you want, in what world is giving them the ability to kill people they want to get rid of a good idea?
The death penalty is a law enforcement weapon. Unless you think you will personally be able to make the laws to serve your interests, you should oppose the death penalty just from a strategic standpoint. The death penalty will be used to execute enemies of the state when the state is unjust.
Death as harm reduction is often good. Killing soldiers from an invading army is good, killing cops is good. But death is only harm reduction if you don't have better options. A community fighting a state often doesn't, but anything capable of arranging a death penalty likely does.
Death as punishment is kind of dumb. The person will stop existing so they will stop suffering for their crimes, and everybody who has ever done something similar now knows they should fight to the death to resist you.
Death as an ideological suppressant is even dumber. The people that want people who have done wrong freed won't go away if you execute the people who have done wrong. Most Nazi leaders died pretty quick but neo-nazis worshipped them anyway. Martyrdom is a real factor, and the dead can't ruin their own reputation by being embarrassing or changing their minds. In fact people whose heroes are martyred tend to radicalize.
Ross is not the problem here. No amount of punishment for him will change the fact that 90 million people voted for Project 2025 and the US government is becoming fascist. Death is part of the answer, but not for him.
Nothing you do to a pig is ever wrong.

If it makes a difference, I just looked at the Renee Good GoFundMe, and it closed at $1,500,000.
If it makes a difference
It doesn't, she's fucking dead.
Yeah, fair point.

IIRC, her family closed it after getting in way more money than they ever imagined and suggested that folks donate to other impacted families.
