We need to recognize something about the murderer's GoFundMe.

Last edited Sun Jan 11, 2026, 10:40 PM - Edit history (1)

There are A LOT of people out there who view the release of Ross's bodycam tape as absolute exoneration of his murderous activity. EDIT: Cell phone video, not bodycam. he wasn't wearing a bodycam.

I'm not on Facebook, but my wife is.

I signed on the other day to lurk the people I went to high school with. I do this once in a blue moon.

I wanted to see what these assholes were saying about Ms. Good's killing.

Dozens and dozens of responses affirming what I typed above.

These people were assholes in high school, and they are assholes 50 years later. They are not bots, they are people I know. A few of them are bullies that taunted me until I fought back with my fists. They are popular to this day.

Rebuttals to their nonsense are sparse.

We are on the correct side...too many people are not.

Take this info for what it is worth. These are dangerous times that are going to be difficult to reconcile reasonably.

They're out there, and you know them. It's scary stuff.

That should have been the end of the fucking gun debate, period. But nope, the red-faced psychopath on Youtube told his followers to go heckle and harass the parents of their children who were just murdered because they were afraid of the government coming to take away their precious kill toys. Things haven't been the same since.

He has several hundred friends that I know from back then. These people respond to his posts.

He posts all of his horse shit as "public", so anyone can read it.

When I was a kid, I had a good friend. My friend was a big guy. Tall, lanky, and muscular for a kid. He was tough as nails. Poor kid from a difficult background.

I was walking down the street with my friend one day. This guy's page that I go to...he was one or two years older. He sucker punched my friend in the stomach. Made him cry. My friend had to go to the doc to get checked out.

The facebook guy that hit my friend now looks like a bag of shit, and so do all his MAGA friends. And in my weak moments, to this day, I want to return his stomach punch to that fucker.

All of the "tough guys" back then who bullied people are MAGA now. I hated them then, and I hate them now. They're all still as fucking stupid as a bag of hair.

There's so many of them.

And I'm in a blue state.

nowhere near being run over. Didn't even drop his camera.

My take, if you can go that fast and smoothly from video taping to shooting someone to death, then you were ALREADY thinking of doing so.

... murder, and a premeditated one at that.

Imagine living in a world when you can look at video of cars passing by another car and say the latter is blocking the roadway.

Not to mention the fact that there were a number of ICE vehicles that were stopped in the street, which is to say they were blocking the street every bit as much.

He makes a lot of money. He probably is getting paid while he's in hiding. If his kids are in school. They probably will have to change schools. He will always be scared someone is after him. I think his life will be sad. I hope so.

Didn’t go to my 40th reunion because I didn’t want to be around them. 12 years of Catholic school and these folks seem to have read a different bible than me, and think Jesus would be totally cool with this. When in reality, they would have arrested and/or killed him for what he taught. Hypocrites all of them. Unfortunately, a couple siblings fit that description, too.

And when I later saw them in person, and they asked me why I left, I told them exactly why.

That site is a cesspool.

"Grow up, Lucky" "Fuck you, Lucky"

My own cousins.

"Good Catholics" with no decorum, no sense, no intelligence. And it took Facebook to make me see that.

but it took a world war to stop Hitler.

The way Trump is going...I'm not worried about a civil war. We're in a cold civil war right now.

I'm worried about a world war.

As for me, I wasn't very big back then. I was thin. Didn't come from the "right" Jr. High that flowed into high school.

I got picked on...until I learned how to fight. Because I had to learn. It took me a long time to grow into myself...and nobody messed with me once I did.

I made peace with some of those guys back then. But I had to fight a few of them before they respected me. Because that's the only thing they respect.

Sun Jan 11, 2026, 09:14 PM

Or is there body cam footage out there as well?

Because the footage that was released earlier was a snuff film for his personal spank bank. He's getting off on this, he loves being the guy who gets to kill with impunity.

This will happen again and again and again. NO one seems to be able to stop it.

So, what do we do? There is no one coming to save us, no one coming to help us.

NOTE: Yes, this sounds bleak, because that is what it is. They killed someone, murdered her, and they are continuing to do more and more brutal raids and are ramping up to round up more and more people, citizens and non-citizens. It is bleak.
