May the death of Renee Nicole Good be a turning point, an awakening to the scale of danger America faces with this deadly abusive regime and the need to speak out and fight back. May her death not be in vain.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
