# Duran Duran’s Tone-Deaf Tribute to Anti-ICE Activist Renee Good Shot: A Wake-Up Call for 2A Patriots
In a jaw-dropping display of celebrity virtue-signaling gone awry, 80s synth-pop icons Duran Duran took the stage at their Sacramento concert on Friday to pay tribute to Renee Nicole Good—the anti-ICE agitator who met a swift end after charging at a federal officer with a weapon in Omaha earlier this year. Frontman Simon Le Bon reportedly dedicated a song to her memory, framing her as some kind of martyr for open borders, while the crowd of nostalgic millennials cheered. But let’s rewind the tape: Good wasn’t a peaceful protester; bodycam footage shows her aggressively advancing on ICE agents, knife in hand, ignoring repeated commands to drop it. She got exactly the response any reasonable person would expect—multiple rounds center mass. This wasn’t police brutality; it was a textbook good shoot, justified under any self-defense doctrine, federal or otherwise.
For the 2A community, this incident isn’t just tabloid fodder—it’s a flashing neon sign of the cultural chasm widening between Hollywood elites and everyday Americans who value law, order, and the right to keep and bear arms. Duran Duran’s ode glosses over the facts to lionize a violent criminal, echoing the same narrative peddled by left-wing media that paints armed resistance to authority as heroic, yet demonizes the armed citizen defending hearth and home. Remember the Kyle Rittenhouse smears? Same playbook. It underscores a dangerous hypocrisy: when a federal officer exercises his inherent right to self-defense against an armed threat, it’s murder. But God forbid a concealed carrier drops a mugger in a dark alley—that’s vigilantism. This mindset erodes the Second Amendment’s foundational logic: the monopoly on legitimate violence belongs to those upholding the rule of law, not rioters or border-crashers wielding blades.
The implications for gun owners are crystal clear—expect more of this celebrity-fueled gaslighting as election season heats up. Bands like Duran Duran, relics of a bygone era, are unwittingly (or deliberately) fueling anti-2A sentiment by romanticizing violence against law enforcement while our rights hang by a thread in courts and statehouses. 2A patriots, take note: this is why we train, vote, and speak out. Share the real footage, not the fanfic tributes, and remind the world that self-defense isn’t optional—it’s constitutional. Duran Duran can keep Hungry Like the Wolf; we’ll stick to Don’t Tread on Me.
