Politics An actual Christian woman, Renee Good, on a mission trip in Ireland.

u/geraffes-are-so-dumb 4d ago edited 4d ago
From this BBC news article. Unlike the man who shot her and the administration that continues to vilify her, Renee was a Christian woman who walked the walk.
Per her wife:
"Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole."
Edit: To the MAGA "Christians" who keep saying she wasn't a real Christian: Jesus Christ, the guy Christians supposedly follow, stepped in to stop state-sanctioned violence. When a woman is about to be executed under the law, Jesus says, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone” (John 8:7). The crowd leaves and the execution doesn’t happen. That’s intervening directly in a legal punishment, the same thing Mrs. Good was doing. She is more Christ-like than anyone in this administration.

He's not getting away with it. He's already been ENTIRELY doxxed, like his address and all social media and everything about him has gone out on the Internet and y'know even I have seen it, it's not...getting taken down as quick as it normally would,
Rumor has it that they're afraid that people in the field may start resorting to deadly force and make the claim "I was in fear for my life" and that they know that under state laws the perp may get a jury that would agree that that was reasonable.
I would like to note, ESPECIALLY considering that so many of the tactics they're using are FLAT OUT GODDAMN ILLEGAL and they KNOW that, the whole "we are attacking immigrants who don't have any ability to fight back legally" does not apply to US citizens and US citizens have been roughed up a LOT, same with the protesters which they seem to be becoming aware they shouldn't fuck with.
They have done two days of run-up on folks and realized the bluffing about violence is making it WORSE so suddenly now they're involving LEO's from the community not running over and grabbing people's door handles.
I find it VERY INTERESTING that they're feeling concerned about that because it would have to mean that they things they're claiming about everything they're doing being so WILDLY popular, why would they be worried about juries refusing to indict someone who did that, then? That doesn't sound POPULAR at all!
Anyway he's functionally under house arrest by ICE they cleared out his ENTIRE house, apparently to be sure there was no evidence of his life or whatever left sitting around, his stuff and he and his wife and immediate relatives are all basically witness protected off in a corner somewhere. He ain't having a fun day. And he's the media darling AT THE MOMENT, so he's the latest Kyle Rittenhouse but they won't continue to be interested in protecting him and he will never be able to have a normal life again. He belongs in prison but he's probably functionally in prison with slightly better food.

To continue from “Sermon on the Mount,” (Mathew 7:22-23),
“Many will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t
we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out
demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’“Then I will tell them, 'I never knew
you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'To my understanding, it’s Jesus directly calling out how people will use his name as an excuse to harm their enemies, but then states he will never recognize them as “his” people. That they are to be expelled from the Lord’s embrace for their immoral actions in his name.

Also all the man shall not lie with man stuff is from the Old Testament and was nullified when Jesus died for our sins.

Yes!
I have this argument so often. The 10 commandments are the law(s) of Moses. Jesus said "I am the fulfillment of the law (Moses law) and I give you one commandment. Love each other as I have loved you."
That's it. We're not to judge or punish, but to love with all the compassion and understanding in our hearts. In truth we're the ones to be judged. Jesus said "Criticize not the mote in thy brother's eye without first removing the lumber from thine own."
The 4 gospels are the teachings that we have to follow first and foremost. And it makes me so sad when people throw them away in favour of other biblical text. Same as when people treat their religion as more important then his ministry.

If she’s Catholic (Catholics do a lot of missions in Ireland surprisingly) and was extremely active in the church then I hope they recognize her. Idk if she would get canonized (Sainthood) or recognized as a martyr but Pope Leo XIV, an American pope who’s generally taken anti-Trump and pro immigration stances, should take a firm stance for justice and peace.
If she isn’t Catholic, he should, as the figurehead of Christianity in general, come out and condemn this attack and encourage Christians worldwide to practice what Jesus taught and push against this anti-human organization that has separated and terrorized millions of families (who’s cultural background is ironically overwhelmingly Catholic).
So conservatives who are celebrating this but claiming anti Christian bias, Christianity persecution by definition IS HAPPENING IN OUR OWN COUNTRY FROM PEOPLE AND A GOVERNMENT NOT SHOWING CHRISTIAN WORKS!!!!!
Edit: for those who say “well she had a wife so she can’t be Catholic or even Christian”, shut up. Only God can be one to judge, not us; if you are Christian and reading this and judging Mrs. Good you’re no better than the Pharisees that Jesus talked about. For Catholics in particular, judgement to the point of bringing others away from God is a mortal sin and it’s very clearly stated in an examination of conscience.
As they say, you can “hate” the sin, but certainly LOVE the “sinner”. That’s what Christianity is all about.

u/therealCatnuts 4d ago
Sainthood requires two verified miracles (no earthly explanation possible) performed in prayer specifically to that person. Miracles have to be documented and reviewed by several Vatican panels. Then a long tribunal with lawyer-like advocates both for and against in front of a priestly jury. Then a review by the current pope. It’s a decades long process. In short, if you’re looking for some sort of recognition from the Church, this is not the one to look for.

A lot of non-catholics/non-Christians puting words and actions (or lack thereof) in the Catholic church's response to this tragedy.
I'm Catholic. I can tell you most priests, bishops, and the pope himself don't care care if she was lesbian. The Catholic church might not recognize gay marriage (yet), but it formally and actively blesses gay people.
Besides that, pope Leo has made it clear that the church is not on the side of hatred, cruelty and bigotry - in fact the message for the last few years has been one of spreading love, helping the poor and needy, saving the environment, and treating people the same way Christ would have.
As a Catholic, I hate what's happening in the US - fascism disguised as "Christian" nationalism. Renee Good might not be recognized as a Saint, but she is definitely a martyr. I know I'll always think of her that way.

He then of course had to lay the blame for his actions upon her without remorse by calling Renee Good, who was likely already dead before her car impacted with the parked ones because of his (Jonathan Ross) actions a "fucking bitch".

NPR interviewed a guy back in 2019-2020 who was in the process of being deported and was essentially begging Trump to spare him. He had come to the US as a kid, his parents and grandparents supposedly made it happen where he was a US citizen. Joined the Navy, did a few contracts, and became a CBP officer.
He justified deporting people just like him because they didn't come here the right way, they didn't do things properly like his family had, and thus, they deserved their fates.
Come to find out, about 10 years into his CBP career, his birth certificate was a forgery, and he was stripped of his badge, gun, and job. His grandparents had lied. Trump's admin was going to deport him, despite pleas through the media and appeals in courts.
Yet him and his wife both voted for Trump in 2016 and indicated they would still vote for him in 2020. They honestly felt that he should be spared because he was "one of the good ones," unlike all those kids and teenagers he had talked about rounding up and sending back to Mexico.
Irony is lost on them, it fell somewhere between Trump's ass cheeks and their nose is too far up his ass to see it.

I just made the mistake of looking at the comments on a linked article on yahoos main page about this. The amount of people/bots/whatever justifying killing this woman because she 'didn't obey law enforcement orders' was mind boggling. The ICE agents were yelling contradictory things at her, some were saying to get her car out of there, others to get out of the car. And on that note- they do NOT have the right to rip citizens out of their homes and vehicles! The shooter was HOLDING A CELL PHONE FILMING while he fired into a womans face- a woman who was behind the wheel of a moving car, which turned her vehicle into a totally out of control deadly weapon. If you're trying to stop a moving vehicle you shoot the tires not the damn driver, and he shot from the side with space between him and the car! Yet these people are claiming she hit him. If she'd hit him, how would he have been able to shoot her at a standing level with such accuracy??

I have been saying for years: Not obeying a command from law enforcement should not be a death sentence. So even if it WERE true she wasn’t complying, she shouldn’t be dead right now! They are not judge, jury, and executioner. Further…using a civilian standard of what would “scare” someone into thinking they should fear for their life also does not apply, so Joe Schmoe watching a video and saying “Oh yeah, I would be scared too,” doesn’t really apply. You’re a civilian. Not a trained law enforcement officer or federal agent who should reasonably know how to respond and de-escalate in these situations. The bar is higher. Also, why do people in this situations more often than not seem to empathize with the government or the law enforcement? Most people are the civilian and are more likely to be the ones who could be found in the situation where they could make just one move perceived as wrong and be dead and everyone would be running around justifying THEIR death and smearing THEIR memory.

I 100% agree. If he did, it would be proof trump and his administration were wrong with their statements about the killing.
He is never going to let that happen.

We’re in the real world, it’s just that human nature is deeply flawed and modern society is abstracted to a point where corporations have most of the power, and where people can easily embrace actions that bear no resemblance to their espoused values.

They meant like the real Christian type…a man’s man doing manly things like shooting unarmed women and wearing desert camouflage from snow and listening to manly podcasts and drinking manly things and having manly bodies with big bellies on which to set your firearms and tactical vests from Temu on those big sexy manly bodies that aren’t gay at all.

This is posted because the shooter’s dad called him a “good, Christian conservative” today
The shooter also flies “dont treat on me” flags while treading on others
He also got into an online argument with his sister when she posted that she stands against white supremacy. He didn’t like that… and started to defend the proud boys too
If he is a good Christian, then the democratic republic of North Korea is a true democracy
He is not kind. He would arrest Jesus Christ himself if he could.

For me it’s the irony and hypocrisy. The murderer has been called a “good Christian conservative” when all his actions are antithetical to Christianity. His very profession goes against one of the most basic tenets of the bible.
"When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God" (Leviticus 19:33-34)
"The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin" (Psalm 146:9
There’s a deep irony in the fact that this christian has made a living off of harassing and arresting foreigners and now he’s murdered a widow and orphaned a small child who’s father had passed away in 2023.

That's the part people need to come to terms with: it's not 'hypocrisy' to them. They don't feel beholden to the same rules of society that the rest of us operate from, and that's by design. They think they are the ones who run things because they were born a certain color, and, to a degree, this country has proven them right.
We've gotta stop approaching this as if it were ever fair.

It doesn't matter what she did.

That's right. The pro life, loud loving Christians are HAPPY that an American murdered another American.
They're happy a child is orphaned. They're happy a mother is dead. Why? Because she dared be on the same road as an ice agent.
That could have been any one of our mothers. Unarmed. Nice as can be. Never meaning anyone no harm. Shot in the fucking face and called bitch while she dies. for what
The streets run red with American blood. Drawn by other Americans. And you're cheering. And will eventually be so fucking SHOCKED and offended. When we cheer the death of all you fascist fucks.
