This was written by someone, not me. But sums it up pretty well, what was she thinking?
Iām a mother, so Iām going to comment right now. I will say this exactly the way a mother thinks it, raw, direct, and without pretending this is complicated. A 37-year-old woman. Three kids. Middle of a work week. The father of those children is dead. She is the parent left. The one job she has above every cause, every protest, every headline, is getting home to her kids.
And what is she doing instead?
Sheās out of state (other reports claim she lives there), in the street, in her car, blocking federal agents who are doing their job. Not alone! Her partner is right there filming her like this is some brave little documentary moment. Around them: sirens blaring, people yelling, pure chaos, manufactured chaos, so agents canāt do their lawful duty.
Her window is down. She hears the orders. She understands the orders. She ignores the orders.
Then she puts the car in reverse.
Still doesnāt comply.
Then she puts it in drive, NOT park! She moves forward into the agent.
Thatās not āconfusion.ā
Thatās not āpanic.ā
Thatās decision after decision after decision.
Now put yourself in the agentās shoes for half a second. A driver is already in an unlawful act! refusing commands in a hostile, chaotic scene, and now that driver uses a vehicle to move toward you. You get a split second. You donāt get the luxury of āMaybe sheās just stressed.ā You have to assume the worst, you have to think of protecting other people like the partner at the window, because if you assume the best and youāre wrong, you donāt go home or someone else.
So the agent fires after she makes an intentional and aggressive move toward him, because he has no idea what her intentions are, and she just demonstrated sheās willing to escalate.
Now⦠imagine her three kids. At school. Sitting there like any other day. Not knowing their mother is out playing street-hero games for criminals in the middle of a work week, with the two adults responsible for them!
She didnāt think about them.
She didnāt think, āIf I get arrested, who picks my babies up?ā
She didnāt think, āIf I get hurt, who raises them?ā
She didnāt think, āIf I die, they have nobody.ā
She thought about protecting criminals.
She thought about interfering with federal agents.
She thought about the camera.
She thought about the crowd.
She thought about the moment.
There is no amount of evidence, money, tears on TV, or news spin that can make this make sense.
As a mother: NOTHING about this makes sense.
At minimum, she knew her actions could get her arrested. At minimum. And she still chose it. She chose strangers. She chose chaos. She chose lawlessness.
Make it make sense, because the only thing I see is three kids who just got abandoned by the only parent they had left, not by accident⦠but by a series of deliberate choices.
The @USPS really needs to do better on who they hire. Trusting in someone to deliver some of your most important packages is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. We have one of the worst mail deliver drivers who apparently just looks at the numbers & not the street name. š

Is it just me or are the @gourmia air fryers the worst on the market?? I'm on my second one in less than a year. They warranted out my first one & now I am on my second one & it keeps going to celsius while trying to cook anything. Do not buy these awful things!

Pardon my language but does anyone not know how to do their fucking job! I am so sick of nobody doing what they get paid to do! Nobody likes working but while you are there at least DO YOUR FUCKING JOB! My gosh, I'm just so sick of it!
The @USPS really needs to get their shit together. They have the worst mail delivery people ever. It amazes me at who can actually get jobs like this verses who can't. Maybe start hiring the opposite of who you decided on. Might get better results that way. š
@ThisIsKyleR The other difference is you with a gun bad...... him with a gun good. When the left believes you are doing something for the greater good with a gun you get a pass. š
@VP That's because your sorry excuse for an administration isn't doing anything to help the American people who are suffering & are in need. Who else needs money?? Cause we have plenty to spare just not enough for our own people! Absolutely disgusting.
@elonmusk@jk_rowling Exactly! The problem a lot of people have is they are to young to make such a permanent decision. If when they are of age this is something they still want then go for it. Some people regret tattoos they get so can you imagine chopping off your genitals & regretting it....
