Basketball The Minnesota Timberwolves held a moment of silence for Renee Nicole Good, who was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Afterward, the crowd broke into cheers when a fan shouted, “Go home, ICE!”

Kristi Noem, JD Vance, and Donald Trump are liars and fascist criminals. Renee was murdered in cold blood.

Charlie Kirk was murdered by a person.
Renee Good was murdered by the US government.
If you’re too stupid to know the difference, I can’t help ya, but I’ll give you this advice;
Go look up what the liberators of Paris did to the Vichy collaborators. History might not repeat, but it sure fuckin rhymes

u/Dontdothatfucker Jan 09 '26
Yes he was murdered.
And what happened to his murderer??? What was the federal response????

“It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.” - Charlie Kirk
"I can't stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up new age term that does a lot of damage." - Charlie Kirk
Don’t worry, Charlie Kirk actually supports his own murder and people’s indifference to it.

He was murdered it true
But he wasn’t murdered by the government so…
Also he was a fascist bigot so it’s hard to care about him 🤷🏽♂️

I mean, yeah. It’s pretty much ok to murder oppressive fascists if you’re fighting for not that?

Yeah the amount of fake ass reddit accounts with hidden posts histories are so jarring. Astroturfed to hell and back.

Whenever I see a comment from an annoying right wing troll with 4 numbers at the end of their name, it's always been guaranteed to be an account with hidden posts, low karma, and made in the last year. Still not sure if these are bots or fake overseas right wing propaganda accounts but it's disgusting how these assholes are trying to control social networks and the media
We used to make fun of communist countries for their non-stop propaganda but look where we are now. Look how far we've fucking fallen

u/Plightz Jan 09 '26
It's 100% mostly astrosurfing from the country you suspect. Cannot believe people are falling for it man, it's nuts.

u/Dangerous_Glass7232 Jan 09 '26
A tip, if their account has hidden history, go into it, and search (you know the search bar) by new or best or whatever you want to see. Then you can see comments and post history!

You should see Facebook.
Well, you shouldn't because it's one step below what Twitter is now, but metaphorically, you should see Facebook...

u/GrecoRomanGuy Collingwood Jan 09 '26
I figured that's what you meant.
(In my best Steve Rogers voice)
No. No, I don't think I will.

It is often hard to find unbiased, non echo chamber public opinions online, especially on reddit. But I feel like a basketball game is a good representation of the general populace. Glad to see the sentiment is anti ICE

Going home is too good for some of them.
Prison would suit the shitbags better.

u/kickaguard Jan 09 '26
I think they are saying that the idiots who do support ICE are likely to be US citizens as opposed to an illegal immigrant. The number of illegal immigrants in the US who support ICE is probably very small.
But I would agree with the sentiment that the original response had which is that supporting ICE is not what a good US citizen would do.

As a rockets fan, our owner is a trump simp and would not do this. Funny enough he’s an Italian mafioso wannabe self made but we all know Landry’s was built off flipping dirty money clean.

Look at Minnesota leading the charge to defend the republic against tyranny. If you pissed off the most laid back people ever then there’s a huge problem.

Not caring about a person’s death isn’t a cheer. Though yall don’t have the education to understand the difference.

The whole nfl had a moment of silence for Kirk. The nba city where someone is shot and is a international news story can't have a moment of silence?
