🧐 On January 7, 2026, a mother of three was shot and killed in Minneapolis during a federal immigration operation. The facts are disputed, the video is being parsed frame by frame, and the politics are already hardening.

But there’s a deeper inversion here that has nothing to do with your preferred narrative.

We are teaching people that obstructing law enforcement is a form of virtue. Not voting. Not persuading. Not suing. Not organizing. Obstructing. Physically inserting yourself into a high-voltage encounter and calling it righteousness.

That moral inversion has a cost, and it rarely gets paid by the activist alone.

She left behind three children. They did not volunteer for her cause. They don’t get to vote on her risk tolerance. They don’t get to opt out of the consequences. They just inherit them.

Here’s the hard truth the commentary keeps dodging: when you’re a parent, your “values” are not a private hobby. They are choices that shape someone else’s entire life downstream. Your family is not a side character in your public morality play. They’re the first obligation. Or they’re supposed to be.

“The Cause” cannot raise your children. 

If you want to fight immigration policy, there are lawful lanes: elections, legislation, court challenges, journalism, organizing, peaceful protest that doesn’t cross into direct confrontation. You can be fierce without gambling your children’s future on an encounter you cannot control.

This is the moral inversion: we’re applauding behavior that a sane civilization would recognize as a reckless prioritization of political emotion over parental duty.

I’m not saying her children were unloved. I’m saying they were left unprotected by the very culture that tells adults, especially parents, that “the cause” is a higher calling than the people who depend on them.

Tragedy should produce compassion. It should also produce clarity. When we sanctify obstruction as heroism, we encourage the next person to step closer to the edge. And when they fall, it won’t just be their life that hits the ground.

It will be the lives tethered to theirs

You genuinely can’t see the difference between informed choice and obeying an armed officers instructions which if she had of done she would still be alive 🤷‍♂️, then you are genuinely as stupid as she was. Well one consolation  at least your carer has your back again. Quite sad  Mark in reality.
You see the amount of dead now in Iran trying to get out from under the Islamic regime??

You disappoint me Dave. Have a word with yourself if you think that her execution was in any way justified.

For me it goes like this - the state gave the power to the officer to use lethal force, now theoretically the same state could have given armed officers the power to use lethal force on people who hid from the vaccine. If the state had the conviction that vaccination was the scientifically best option to save the economy and the world. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the flu.

One of my customers is old enough to have a relative who served in WW1 and died of Spanish flu. Todays vaccines could have sorted that. But only if they are forced on everyone. 20- seconds to comply

Yeah that’s her before she thought it a good idea to put the foot down 👍👍👍she paid dearly for that. You can cry your leftard tears all you want, the fact remains if she had obeyed the guy stood in front of her she’d be alive. This attempt to somehow link it to Covid vaccines is an interesting if somewhat desperate move. 
Like I say let’s see if he gets charged or did he comply with the rules of engagement, if you feel so strongly get yourself over there and join the professional protestors following the legal process that the ICE guys are carrying out. 
 

Indifferent to the Iranians fighting to get out from under the cosh of the religion of peace It would seem. 

[Steven P]

In Tehran they are not following orders now are they? A little hypocritical I think to be lecturing us to follow orders and then get all upsety when they have the same fate for not following orders. Is there a reason for your double standards I wonder? ( I can help here.... suggest your truthful answer will refer your double standards to their religion or their skin colour)

It's quite breathtaking to consider that Iran will soon be less Islamic than Britain.
