I don't live in the USA and this made me cry several times today.

783

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

Same. Im in Canada...

I cried at the first video, the full video, the 2nd and 3rd perspective, her partner crying on a front stoop, the physician trying to help... I cried sooo much. I hugged my daughter so hard when she got home from school.

And I have a migraine that won't go away. What is this insane timeline!?

u/DionFW Jan 08 '26

I too am in Canada. I have never considered donating to a GoFundMe but I could see myself donating to this one.

That said, you just know some idiot is going to start one for the officer and more idiots will contribute.

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

And people will donate to the ice agent which is scary AF on it's own.

u/DionFW Jan 08 '26

That's who I was referring to.

28

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

Yes, sorry I meant.. yes , I agree someone will start his gofundme and it's scary people will actually donate to him.

My words may not make sense amidst the migraine. Sorry.

27

u/DionFW Jan 08 '26

I already see too many people justifying it. It's awful.

u/retrosenescent Jan 08 '26

I see far more people mistaking other's understanding of what happened with attempts to justify what happened. They're not even slightly similar.

u/Pepperlette Jan 08 '26

I’ve seen people looking for one to donate to - what would he honestly need funds for?? He already got his blood money from DHS.

u/DionFW Jan 08 '26

What's going on here? Why was everyone's comment but us removed?

2

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

And now it's back again!? Weird.

u/Pepperlette Jan 08 '26

Sus…is it because they were talking about the murderer? Can’t remember what the comments were.

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

He got a boo boo on his tummy. Poor baby /s

Has there been any disclosure of a criminal record? A lot of those Ice thugs have records and I would love to see his.

u/Believe-it-Geico Jan 08 '26

Can we bring back putting felons and murderers in prison?

I am an American in Canada whose been crying over this a lot today. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the solidarity that you folks show to those of us who are being dragged along for this ride against our will. I have been lent so many kind and understanding ears here. So many of us are shocked and appalled at the way Canada has been treated in all of this too, and I can assure you that while we are a culture that has been corrupted by psychopathy and greed, that solidarity works both ways for millions and millions of us.

where's her gofundme?

5

u/DionFW Jan 08 '26

I don't see one yet. Very likely being setup. They just need to grieve first.

u/ottosenna Jan 08 '26

America is such a mess right now. I’m sorry, neighbors.

43

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

You need not apologize! Just know we see you and are here with you. I wish I could do something to help.

u/frackleboop Jan 08 '26

You already are with the Canadian boycotts. I appreciate you, northern neighbor.

u/Old_Manager6555 Jan 08 '26

We call them Trump boycotts...we don’t want to link the word boycott with American!

u/tmm224 Jan 08 '26

❤️

u/hypermodernvoid Jan 08 '26

Also, just wanted to throw out there that if it's even possible and applicable, it'd be great if it could be focused on red states vs. blue, or more so states Trump won vs. lost in 2024.

u/Extreme-Meat-7650 Jan 10 '26

Honestly, America has never been better. FAFO…that’s what happened.

1

u/ottosenna Jan 11 '26

I don’t know if you’re a bot or why you’d ever think this. But, I’m sorry we all failed you. That’s my fault. You deserve better, and to think better, and to be better.

u/boxesofcats- Jan 08 '26

Also a Canadian with a post-cry migraine. Renee will not be forgotten, may her death not be in vain.

15

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

Sadly this is day 3 migraine for me... but the crying aint helping.

Renee Good is worth the migraine though.

u/goddessdragonness Jan 08 '26

I suffer from all kinds of neurological issues, including complex migraines, and the news cycle lately has been so rough.

7

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

Migraine buddies! I have epilepsy also, so all this trying to stay calm sucks majorly right now.

u/goddessdragonness Jan 08 '26

Yes! I’m trying to focus on art to keep sane. Happy trees, happy trees.

u/wafflesthewonderhurs Jan 08 '26

FELT, sibling.

My migrianes are back after years without one and I had to call out of work today because I couldn't stop crying with one. My partner was out here trying to help a weeping ragdoll all afternoon, bless him.

u/Admirable_Branch_221 Jan 08 '26

Holding my daughter while she sleeps and my blood has been cold all day. She’s only 4 months old. I’m scared for her future.

16

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

Just keep smelling that sweet baby head. Hold her tight give her all the love and hugs. AND and and.. take care of you! Postpartum is a wild ride, I couldn't imagine going through it with the timeliness we're in.

6

u/Admirable_Branch_221 Jan 08 '26

Thank you, apart of me wants to just ignore it all but I feel it would be a betrayal. Just crying every day feeling hopeless but keeping all the faith I have in the good people in this country. I’m holding her close 🫶🏻

2

u/silentinthemrning Jan 08 '26

Focus on taking care of yourself and show her how to be a kind, strong, and caring member of her community. Hang in there 💛

Im proud of the decent folk. You are working so hard! I honestly wish I could do more

u/Upper_Scarcity_2807 Jan 08 '26

That was her partner crying! :(

2

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

It was just so heartbreaking. I couldn't fucking imagine...

my husband was in the other room when I saw that video and literally cried out so loud, he thought something was wrong with me.

Lots of broken hearts today. Take care of each other...

I'll be rooting for the good guys from up north.

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '26

this makes my chest hurt so bad with fear and anger

1

u/Shytemagnet Jan 08 '26

I can’t find the one with the partner anymore! I watched the full 9 minute one and the panic in her partner’s voice just shattered my heart.

1

u/Bemad003 Jan 08 '26

Same, friend! From Europe. I think more than ever we have to start building strong communities, to support and protect each other. Otherwise, I don't know how we'll ever get back to any sense of sanity.

2

u/mypetmonsterlalalala Jan 08 '26

You know... I truly believe there is more good in the world than bad. We'll get there, we'll find our sanity.
