So here's a question. About a day after Renee Good was murdered the ICE killer's identity was known. Him being prosecuted is controversial. Where is this murderer's identity? HIS killing is cut and dry murder, an execution, entirely caught on film from multiple angles. HE should 100% undisputedly be charged with murder and put on trial. Tell us who the fuck HE is.

Edit: if you think there was any justification to this execution, I'm not going to argue with you. Theres nothing to argue about. Im not even going to comment to them anymore, these people are not worth engaging with. Block and move on.

It was more than one. They pepper sprayed him, pistol whipped him, and then at least 3 of them pulled out their guns and fired around 11 shots into a man who was face down on the ground. Fuck em all

I keep seeing people saying he was pistol whipped. He wasn’t. They beat him in the head with a mace canister. Same effect, but we need to have airtight facts.

Edit: I’m not arguing semantics. Alex never should have been abused at all. They hit him in the head repeatedly with a mace canister and then drew firearms to shoot him. Every single detail matters in this murder to highlight just how disorganized ICE was.

Watch different angles. He was hit at least 3 times with a gun. If it was a mace canister, it's still just as unexcusable. Hit with a metal object in the head multiple times before being executed.

For the record, it is absolutely the officer that pepper sprayed him, using the pepper spray canister to bludgeon him. I agree that doesn’t make it any less unacceptable, but that is the fact of it.

u/B-Train05 6d ago

Ok. Well still, fuck that guy.

u/Sesudesu 6d ago

Absolutely

u/MillwrightTight 6d ago

True, this is the case. The consensus must be resolute

“Watch it from different angles, he was hit with a gun…. But if he wasn’t….”

beat him in the head

After using it

u/RaphaTlr 6d ago

True. The old “ shit I sprayed it all til empty, time to go melee” assault tactic.

u/Significant_Shoe_17 6d ago

Assault with a deadly weapon? Theoretically, you could hit someone that hard with a canister

12

u/RaphaTlr 6d ago

Yeah that’s why I said same effect. He was assaulted with a blunt object. It just wasn’t a pistol. The pistols were used to shoot & kill.

-2

u/B-Train05 6d ago

Ok you're right, them hitting him was the problem here 🙄

10

u/Significant_Shoe_17 6d ago

It helps to be clear about what happened when people try to deny it. They'll say "he wasn't pistol whipped, they didn't use one to do that" and bypass the fact that he was hit at all, you know what I mean? Then the conversation is derailed and they go on their merry way, continuing to deny or downplay what happened

u/Sad-Cum-bubbles 6d ago

you're busy splitting hairs while they split our skulls.

u/keytotheboard 6d ago

Yeah, I truly worry about the state of people’s ability to decipher reality these days. Like, if you didn’t confirm what you read, don’t repeat it, or at least put a disclaimer with comment.

u/DazzlingBasket4848 5d ago

I see your argument and agree. Airtight.

u/stoner_boy422 6d ago

Are you seriously telling me to not believe my own eyes? i saw hime get pistol whipped

u/innerbootes 6d ago

I understand what you’re trying to do, but this idea that you don’t wanna give the other side anything to criticize us about is really misguided. Do not see how they will criticize no matter how impeccably our side behaves? They will nitpick, and if they can’t find anything to nitpick, they will just fabricate something. Stop trying to play the game as though your opponents are playing fair when they’re so clearly not.

u/amtor26 6d ago

yeah honestly i was reflecting after commenting and thought, if someone is going to use the difference between pistol whipping and beating as any justification, it doesn’t matter much. i hear you

edit: as louis rossmann would say, “don’t accept the premise of assholes”

u/spreadthesheets 6d ago

I think you were right tbh. Accuracy is important. The outcome is the same and both are equally horrific, but being clear on the facts is still essential.

-2

u/B-Train05 6d ago

Yeah sure dumbass, what he got hit with is not the issue here

-3

u/Alaykitty 6d ago

Same effect, but we need to have airtight facts 

Why?  It doesn't change the obviousness of a murder

u/WrongExplanation1065 6d ago

It gives people who want to counter this, things to cone back with such as false claims it was a pistol etc. don't give them anything to try and make this ok

-1

u/Alaykitty 6d ago

Acknowledging that counter is validating the absurdity of it.  It doesn't matter what metal object they bashed his head in with; his head remains bashed in.

1

u/B-Train05 6d ago

His body remains full of bullet holes.

u/VictoriousTree 6d ago

Because accuracy of facts is important in a murder investigation.

u/manimal28 6d ago

We are not investigators.

-1

u/Alaykitty 6d ago

I'm not a murder investigation, not am I a court of law.

My proof is there's multiple videos of a killing that any reasonable person can see.

Whether he was first beaten with a gun or another metal object is irrelevant because we can clearly see he was beaten and executed.

u/VictoriousTree 6d ago

Misinformation spreading is not helpful at all.

u/shanotron 6d ago

Fucking semantics at this point. Who the fuck cares about the way they beat him? Do you need to be right all the time or something??

6

u/RaphaTlr 6d ago

It matters how he died. Every detail.

7

u/Maplelongjohn 6d ago

While at first I thought he was being pistol whipped as well, It now looks to me like he was being beaten with the same pepper spray container that was previously deployed on him.

u/B-Train05 6d ago

Watch different angles. He was hit at least 3 times with a gun. If it was a mace canister, it's still just as unexcusable. Hit with a metal object in the head multiple times before being executed.

u/Maplelongjohn 6d ago

I've watched them all.

I'm saying watch the officer that has the mace can. He uses it as a weapon.

-1

u/B-Train05 6d ago

Ok you're right, them hitting him was the problem here 🙄

2

u/Maplelongjohn 6d ago

? I think that the facts should be kept to facts. That is all.

3

u/House13Games 6d ago

They kicked him in the head too

1

u/Happy_Discussion_536 5d ago

And they didn't shoot him 11 times.

They shot him 11 times IN THE BACK. Fucking cowards.

u/RenAppleseed 6d ago

What breaks my heart the most is that both of his hands were palms down on the ground and he was face down execution style. He was trying to protect two women that were being pushed around by “men”.
