Harassing ICE Is No LARP

On Friday I noted that the woman shot by ICE in Minneapolis - Renee Good - was cosplaying a revolutionary. Meanwhile the ICE agents she encountered were operating in the dangerous real world where criminals are apprehended and separated from society.

Now Ed Driscoll at Instapundit has a long post dealing with this interpretation. In particular he notes the victim’s ‘wife’ complaining that the ICE agent “had real bullets.” What bizarro world does she live in?

Ms. Good had a real auto (i.e., weapon) even if she imagined she was acting in a LARP. More than a few people have been shot by police who saw them holding gun replicas and, in what appeared to be life-and-death situations, reacted appropriately. Her situation was similar.
