    • As I understand it she was blocking Ice all day and causing trouble. When she tried to run she sealed her fate.
      It was totally unnecessary to shoot and kill her though. That Ice agent reacted too fast and recklessly. As far as her running him over, I didn’t see it.

      • I mean ice in my eyes is illegitimate anyway. A bunch of clowns who aren’t properly trained playing soldier. I think it’s bad enough when cops shoot fleeing vehicles. If you have a license plate and they pose no threat then let them go and get them later. They walk out like thugs. Anyone would be scared shitless.

    • Clever title Nick…

      Law enforcement is certainly overly militarized
      and undertrained…

      I had a friend get shot by the cops in a high
      speed chase…

      He drove toward one of the cops and they
      fired though the windshield, putting two
      in his computer…

      I live in what has been described as a
      large town…

      So many forms of insanity have been
      proliferated…

    • I watched the video. The hardest part for me was how casually he shot her. And then basically shrugged it off. Stop anyone from getting in their way of cruelty…permanently. That seems to be their philosophy. And it’s backed 150% by the cheese puff at the top and his psychophants

    • Excellent write Nick. Well written, raw and accurate. This is the real thing. Unapologetic! Nice work!

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. It’s a racist fucking gestapo looking to spill innocent blood, in the name of a cult regime. Raw and honest write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • You are such a strong woman, Brenda. Many don’t hesitate to lash out and slash those wronging them. But you know the power of words. 🧡

    • Powerfully penned, Brenda. Excellent write my friend. Words are weapons and writers know how to use them, showing restraint takes self discipline. Especially against those who provoke us. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I can absolutely relate to your poem, dear Crimsin. The strong wish not to hurt anybody makes sensitive people think that they have caused a conflict and are simply not lovable. Never forget that your loving heart and the power of your words are a most effective weapon and armor. Great work!

    • An eye for an eye brings no satisfaction, the loss still exist and nothing can replace it. Tight

    • “Masks conceal the cruelest intentions
      Orchestrated fear designed to control”
      Wow! This is a powerful statement that holds much truth! You just have to listen carefully to politicians. They tell you everything they intent to do, hidden between distracting words.
      Brilliant work, Damian!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Elke. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Two of my favorite lines as well. Exactly, they tell a lot these days. It’s all hidden in plain sight. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Not only true enough but my word yours here look so pretty sitting on their very own page .. Neville

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Neville. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Well you know how to make a person feel appreciated. Thanks to you kind sir. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Phenomenal piece Damian. Makes ya think. Powerful write my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m always trying to evoke thought brother. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Okay, Prophet, you did it again. They only wear the mask long enough to lull the sheep. The wolves are out in force now, no masks. And you nailed this one like a jackhammer of Truth. I really wish you weren’t so deadly accurate…but here we are. That vault of yours must be packed with treasure, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Believe me I wish I wasn’t accurate. The wolves are taking everything that’s not nailed down. Including those boots we’re supposed to pull ourselves up with, we’re essentially strapless. lol. “Jackhammer of Truth” sounds like a possible song or album name. There are a couple of gems in there from time to time. I agree though the masks have been discarded. Always enjoy your commentary, sorry I tend to get you riled you up so often. lol. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Tight, relentless lines. This feels like a pressure chamber where thought turns toxic and power hides behind masks. I like how the poem doesn’t over-explain—just lets the spiral speak for itself. Dark, current, and uncomfortably true.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Thomas. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’m a believer of letting the reader fill in the gaps with their thoughts and where the write takes them. Thank you for your continued support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • Nice! Tightly done yet with a bullseye message. The rhymes are perfect, too. Excellent write Damian.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mark. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I try.. Thanks for your continued support. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • You were ahead of your time, Damian. This applies today as if it was written yesterday. Great poem!
