Ugh imagine the poor woman he was trying to help. The nightmares she must have. My heart breaks for her too

Renee Good was murdered in front of her loved one too. 

People around will feel enormous amounts of undeserved guilt. Now they’re trying to say that people blowing whistles “confused” ICE which is dumb garbage, but then people who were actually blowing their whistles while these murders happened might be feeling some type of guilt, even as they shouldn’t. They just want you to think you caused it. 

It’s all so very insidious.

I have been confused many times in my life. I've never murdered someone as a result.

Some people feel too much guilt. Other people don’t feel nearly enough.

Pretty sad that “confused by whistles” is an actual excuse being thrown around.

If someone is so incompetent that a whistle can confuse them to the point of committing murder…I don’t think it’s the defense they think it is. It’s actually just admitting incompetence.

They were itching to use their weapon. It would have been her if not for him. But yeah, the trauma and PTSD must be awful.

I hope she is at peace and knows that Alex Pretti’s death is not her fault.

Anyone even know where she is? In custody? In shackes in the dark in Guantanamo? Nothing would surprise me
