Legal Principles of Self-Defense

  • 💡 Self-defense is unavailable if one creates the danger or voluntarily places themselves in a volatile situation.
  • 🎯 Using excessive force, engaging in provocation, or committing a felony can also negate a self-defense claim.

Jonathan Ross's Actions and Violations

  • 🎥 Ross voluntarily recorded his actions, including circling Renee Good's car, filming her dog, and her license plate.
  • ⚠️ He positioned himself in front of her vehicle, directly violating ICE training and policies against doing so or firing into moving cars.
  • 🔫 Ross fired three shots into her head through the windshield, with the second and third shots occurring when he was no longer in physical danger.

Evidence of Premeditation and Intent

  • 💬 Renee Good was smiling and unarmed, telling Ross, "it's okay, man, I'm not mad at you," before he shot her.
  • 🔥 Ross's anger at her lack of fear and his subsequent use of a slur after the shooting indicate intent and premeditation.
  • 🚨 He failed to render aid after shooting and walked away, further demonstrating his state of mind.

Immunity and Prosecution

  • ⚖️ Qualified immunity does not provide absolute protection from state charges, especially when an officer is breaking the law or acting unconstitutionally.
  • 🏛️ Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty is collecting evidence and will indict Jonathan Ross for murder, as the federal government cannot prevent state prosecution.
  • ❌ Political figures like JD Vance and Kristi Noem's arguments regarding Ross's actions and PTSD are dismissed as false and unreasonable.
