<![CDATA[Admittedly, I've been following U.S. personnel and asset movement towards the Middle East with a lot more attention, because the coming showdown with the brutal theocracy is coming, and it's long past time for the mullahs to go. Being in the news business, though, one can't help but keep at least one Marty Feldman eye on what's unfolding in Minneapolis. The shooting of Renee Good was tragic in that it didn't have to happen, but was destined to end as it did once Good made the conscious decision to disobey lawful orders to leave her vehicle, evade arrest, and plow her car into a federal agent in the process of making her getaway. Nothing funny about that. It was a stupid decision made by a radicalized moron, and now a young child is an orphan in a futile attempt to delay federal officers removing yet another handful of illegal aliens, most of whom have committed additional felonies besides entering the country without permission, from American society.As the weekend began, there were a couple of other anecdotes, fortunately ones that did not become violent, that made me shake my head and laugh. In one case, a media person was followed around by an anti-ICE team, and was accosted by them after being forced to pull over. Why was he stopped by the mob? Because he was driving a car that looked like it might be an ICE vehicle. ]]>
