Those lyrics come from Tim Fite’s powerful anti-establishment song “Getaway” from his 2015 album Resist. Although the specific circumstances surrounding that album’s origin were different, the words still ring true in light of what happened recently in Minneapolis.

I can easily imagine a world where Kristi Noem, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi all got a text message seconds after Renee Good was killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement foot soldier on 7 January. The text message would have given them all instructions to spin the entire event as a reasonable and justified response by a threatened and vulnerable federal LEO to the bloodlust of a depraved left-wing domestic terrorist. Now, I don’t know if such a text message was sent, but it seems that the regime did decide very quickly that was going to be the narrative. I have not seen the recordings of the event and I cannot say if Reichsführerin Noem examined them or not before declaring Renee Good a domestic terrorist, but the rapidity of the determination certainly suggests that any investigation by ICE, DHS, DoJ or any other federal agency will operate from that premise.

This bloodshed was expected. It was, perhaps, even inevitable as the regime has made immigrant purges a cornerstone of its domestic policy. One might even go so far as to suggest they were counting on such an event, a convenient excuse (not that they really needed one) to paint anti-ICE activists as a direct and immediate threat to the government’s stormtroopers. This narrative is laughable coming from a regime that pardoned over 1,000 members of the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol in which LEOs were actually threatened, injured and killed. The regime has made it clear that violence in its own name is acceptable, even encouraged (let us not forget that Kyle Rittenhouse was anointed a saint of the MAGA revolution for killing BLM protesters) while violence or even loud opposition towards its interests is the highest order of criminality.

I’m sure the regime is equally pleased that this latest outrage took place in Minneapolis, a city within a state already the subject of verbal assaults and not-so-veiled threats from the regime — it and its influence peddlers in the media have obsessed over allegedly enormous fraud in Minnesota connected to its Somali immigrant population. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, whose 7th District covers the city of Minneapolis, has long been a favorite target of the regime, so any excuse to escalate federal activity in the area and depict the city as a sink of Democrat corruption and lawlessness would, I expect, be most welcome.

What this highlights, whatever the particulars or the reality of what transpired between Renee Good and her killer, is that this regime is not interested in justice, fairness or even the illusion of due process. This is the same group of would-be despots who expel people to randomly selected countries because it’s easier than trying to deal with each case individually. This is the same crew of pirates that kidnapped a sitting head of state (yes, Maduro’s legitimacy has been questionable at best for some time) to face criminal charges in a country I’m fairly sure he has never stepped foot in. This is the same gang of mafiosos currently trying to use the Just Us (sorry, Justice) Department to oust the chairman of the federal reserve because he doesn’t want to play the emperor’s game. Lastly, this is the same team of neo-imperialists trying to strongarm Denmark and the people of Greenland into ceding the territory to the United States. The rule of law is meaningless to an administration made up of criminals and supported by sycophants in both Congress and the judiciary so, again, any effort to find justice for Renee Good (or any of the regime’s victims) will have to come from outside the iron fist steadily suffocating the life and liberty out of the country.
