About 30 years ago a pretty smart cow man said something
that has really stuck with me. We were discussing a mutual acquaintance who was
struggling in the cattle business, mostly because he was making poor decisions.
The smart cow man said, “You can’t cry for everyone.”
I have thought a lot about that tis week while watching the
news coverage of the ICE shooting of the protester in Minneapolis. It is always
sad when someone’s life is cut short, and this senseless loss of life is sad,
but much like our cow man friend from long ago, Ms. Good made a lot of bad
decisions.
“You can’t cry for everyone.”
Oh, there is plenty of blame to go around in this death.
Beside blaming Ms. Good for being there, trying to disrupt federal law
enforcement, goading the officers, and hitting an agent with her car; quite a
bit of blame can be laid squarely at the feet of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
He is solely responsible for not having Minneapolis police out on the streets
in full force to keep the peace as the federal immigration agents do their
legal work. Mayor Frey is so beholden to the Minneapolis Somali community that
he will not even try to keep the peace. With the hundreds of millions – perhaps
billions – of dollars stolen by the Somalis from government programs, one must
wonder how much influence the Somalis have bought in Minnesota.
“You can’t cry for everyone.”
Minnesota’s grotesque joke of a governor Tim Walz gets to
carry a fair share of the blame too. His inept, incompetent government has
pandered to the Somali immigrants and turned a blind eye to their vast criminal
enterprises and has been pandering. He even approved a redesigned flag for Minnesota
that resembles a kindergartener’s rendition of the flag of Somalia. He has
spent months demonizing the President and everything he does. It is no wonder
that Minneapolis has become a crime ridden hell hole.
“You can’t cry for everyone.”
But the vast majority of the blame for Renee Good’s death
falls on the incompetent ex-President Joe Biden. If the Biden government had
enforced existing immigration laws like the Trump administration is doing,
Minneapolis would not be crawling with ICE agents, anti-ICE protestors would
not be harassing the agents, and Ms. Good would still be alive.
It is tragic that Ms. Good was killed. It is tragic that
nearly twenty million people entered our country illegally. It is tragic that
so many of our people accept lawlessness in our society. It is tragic that the
Democratic party is fueling rage against the President, against law
enforcement, and against traditional American values.
The whole damn thing is tragic, but when you sow the wind
you shall reap the whirlwind.
“You can’t cry for everyone.”
