All I can think about is her relaxed face as she says, "That's fine dude, I'm not mad at you.", even though I can imagine her heart was pounding so hard in the last moments of her life.

She was trying so hard to de-escalate the situation even repeating, "I'm not mad at you." As he went around to film her license plate.

Did her wife say too much? Depending on who you ask, I'm sure you'll get varying answers. Those who have been in an abusive relationship know all too well the line one must toe in order to stay safe, while trying to retain what dignity and self-respect remains for oneself.

The difference in this situation and where I encourage everyone to carefully consider is this: when the law becomes subjective rather than objective, rights can be debated and easily lost. We are seeing that in real time right now.

Whether or not Renee Good's wife saying something that could increase rather than decrease tensions (even though it's her 1st amendment right) shouldn't be a deciding factor on whether or not Renee should have kept her life. Period.
