Dear Editor:

It took Trump’s invasion of Iran for me to comprehend why Renee Good and Alex Pretti had to be killed by agents of Trump’s administration.

In an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Friday, March 13, Trump made clear why Good and Pretti were gunned down. Trump was discussing the fact that the Iranian regime was more entrenched and less likely to fall to street protesters than he previously thought stating, that the Basij militia, a plainclothes force affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, would likely respond violently to any mass protests.

“These are, these are bad people. They go out shooting protesters. You’re a protester. They shoot you right through the head." 

He then went on to say that both he and Netanyahu would understand the reluctance to rise up. 

If you could ask Renee Good or Alex Pretti, I’ll bet they would readily agree regarding Trump’s “reluctance” comment, after meeting up with Trump’s version of the Iranian Basij militia. 

Talk about a dangerous, mean, and absolutely thoughtless being who rarely, if ever, thinks before speaking and you would be talking about Trump.
