    I am happy that people are mad about the death of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But I am also saddened that it took their deaths for people to care. If I was killed by ICE next week, would anyone care? Do I not deserve angry protesters?

    Highly disappointed with this comment section right now. If you feel divided by this post then maybe take time to reflect. You’re not a villain for only being sad about he recent killings, but getting mad at Bad for posting this is a shame.

      The trick to getting people to be outraged about your murder hasn’t much to do with being black or white or brown

      It’s mostly about the murder being on-camera, from multiple angles, filmed by people and released to public scrutiny immediately

      As well as it being very extremely clear that it was an unnecessary killing, a deliberate murder.

      So, if you’re gonna get killed next week, please make sure there are plenty of witnesses with cameras all around you.

      People have been caring for a mong time. These killing are just so violent, so obviously unjustified, and most importantly, they have been filmed with many many angles, that it show how full of hate ICE and MAGA really are.

        I never said people didn’t care, but I definitely didn’t see a lot about the previous victims compared to Good and Pretti, in fact I never heard about González and Garcia.

        It’s just a concerning and upsetting trend I’ve seen.
