ICE Shooting: Why Don't Leftists Care? (The Meta Narrative)

In this raw, unfiltered episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone Collins dive deep into the January 2026 ICE shooting death of Renee Nicole Good — a 37-year-old white lesbian poet, mother of three, and full-time activist killed in Minneapolis during an immigration enforcement operation.

Why hasn’t this incident sparked the same massive outrage or martyr status as George Floyd’s death (despite happening blocks away)? We break down the video evidence, the protester’s actions (including laughing, attempting to drive away, and prior harassment of ICE agents), the role of extreme privilege, and why parts of the left seem uncomfortable rallying around a white woman’s death — even when she was queer.

We also discuss:

* The normalization of antagonizing law enforcement

* Broken systems, immigration fraud (especially Somali migrant networks), and why “this could happen to anyone” is dangerously misleading

* Personal family tragedy (children losing a parent)

* Parallels to other cases, cultural bubbles, and long-term societal consequences

Plus bonus tangents on everything from vampire conspiracies to future human colonization and why we’re team “family values vampires.”

If you’re tired of surface-level takes, this is the meta-analysis you need. Love you, Simone. 🔥

Speaker 2: Is there a

Speaker: problem, officer? And stay in your car with your hands on the wheel.

What the f**k do want motherfucker? Unless you wanna ask this,

Speaker 4: That’s fine. Us citizen. You wanna come at us? You wanna come at us?

Speaker: Unless you wanna ask this,

Would you like to know more?

Malcolm Collins: Hello Simone. I am, well, I guess it’s a, it’s a somber occasion to be here with you today. ‘cause today we’re gonna be discussing somebody who died and the public reaction to it. And I think what a lot of people are missing, ‘cause I wanna focus more on the meta commentary. The ice shooting death?

Yeah. Because I think it’s, it’s really interesting in a number of perspectives. One of, I think the biggest is that she has not turned into, like, when it first happened, there was this [00:01:00] feeling that, oh, this is gonna turn into a death that a lot of people rally around, like the bbl m death, like the trouble.

Well, and people

Simone Collins: were pointing out even the, the geographic proximity, the physical proximity of her death to the death of George Floyd.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah. And yet it has not turned into that. It, it, it very much has not turned into that. So I wanna talk about why that hasn’t happened, and I’m gonna start on that question because I think it’s, it’s a very, very fascinating, and I think a large part of it comes down to a video that you shared with me, right, where they are interviewing a white woman who is at a protest about this woman’s death.

And she says. She feels uncomfortable being there and she’s not sure it is ethical for her to be there. And the reason why she is not sure it is ethical for her to be there is because they are protesting the death of a white woman. And she feels that that is a fundamentally wrong thing to do.

Speaker 8: So, I mean, I’m just walking around kind of just day side. ‘cause I, I [00:02:00] got, I was like, I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do. It feels kind of wrong being here in some way. I don’t know why. Uhhuh And why, why do you think? Yeah, I don’t know. Um, I don’t know like where that stems from. Um, like I don’t, I mean, part of it is being like a white woman that I’m privileged and I have a lot of privilege.

Mm-hmm. Um. So I feel like white tears are not always something that’s helpful or necessary. Yeah. Um, when black and brown people have been experiencing this Yeah. For a long time. Um, this isn’t new for them. And so, um mm-hmm. I don’t know if that makes any sense. No. In that way. Um, how did you decide that you should be here?

Speaker 9: Are you still figuring that out? Um, well, I work, uh, like two miles from here. Mm-hmm. So, um, driving by. Just, I don’t, you know, it was like, I’m here. Um, I’m two miles. I can stop. Um.

Malcolm Collins: And that was for me that, that, I mean, she felt like that it’s wild that this

Simone Collins: woman died [00:03:00] for the cause and people are not even willing to grieve for her on her side because she’s a white woman.

Malcolm Collins: And if you look at the no, what they could have said is, well, she’s a lesbian at least

Simone Collins: right. But no, she doesn’t even get lesbian points.

That she was a lesbian has become more widely known since, , this piece came out because her partner was there. , This recording that I’m about to show because her partner was there encouraging her to gun it , and now everybody knows, oh, she had the partner there.

Now that we have the video, which we didn’t have when we recorded this, it’s much less ambiguous. What happened? , A few things that you should note about this video as you’re watching it is as we say in this piece, and we go on to say this, we predicted this very accurately. , They clearly thought this was a joke and they did not understand that they’re dealing with law enforcement officers.

You can say, well, he’s not a cop, he’s a law enforcement officer. Okay. That she is saying to a law enforcement officer, and I love that progressives take this line to mean that she [00:04:00] wasn’t a bad guy. Like, we don’t even hate you, like while laughing, , imagine a cop pulls you over and you’re like, we don’t even hate you, whatever.

And then you try to drive away. , That’s a sign of so little respect and understanding for the situation you’re in at the moment. The other thing to note about the video is., The position of the law enforcement officer. So you’ll see him walking around the front of the car and as he starts walking around the front of the car, this woman’s wife is on the other side of the car trying to open the door.

, And she stops trying to open the door as he walks around the car and starts saying like, gun it , or go or something. , It’s hard to make out. Exactly. , Other people have done better analysis, . And that’s when she starts going. So he had no reason to think that she was about to rev the engine like this because her wife was pulling the handle at the time.

He starts moving around the front of the car and you can also see that he’s nowhere near made it around the entire front of the car. , There [00:05:00] it would’ve been almost impossible for her not to hit him, given his position where he is when she starts attempting to move. . A lot of people say he slipped on the ice or something, or it is the gun that’s shooting that you’re hearing, , when he falls over, which is clearly not the case.

It is him. Being hit by the car. , He was only about two thirds around the front of the car. , He was much more directly hit by the car than I was aware of. , Finally you hear her laughing in this piece. , And it is clear, as we say throughout the rest of this, that she thought this was a joke. Like that she doesn’t understand that these are law enforcement officers and that there could be repercussions for her actions.

Speaker 4: That’s fine. Dude. I’m not mad. Show your face. I’m not mad at you. That’s okay. We don’t change our plates every morning. Just so you know.
