A small Minnesota protest amid blizzard conditions highlighted rising fears over political violence following Renee Good's shooting.

On January 10, 2026, a small protest in Cyrus, Minnesota, occurred amid severe winter weather, with demonstrators opposing what they called a corrupt government. Despite near-blizzard conditions, participants stood outside, drawing mixed reactions from drivers, some supportive, others dismissive. One attendee recounted a near-accident on icy roads. The event reflects broader unease over political violence, highlighted by the recent shooting of Renee Good by Jonathan Ross, which President Trump labeled domestic terrorism. Criticism arose over JD Vance’s remarks downplaying Good’s composure during the attack. The recurring phrase “I don’t expect to be shot, but you just don’t know anymore” underscores a growing sense of unpredictability and fear in public life.
