What can you expect to find in Milwaukee's German newspapers?


Besides the news stories about the horrific political assassination of Melissa Hortmann and her husband by a deranged christian nationalist self-styled preacher, Milwaukee's German-American papers might have had multiple obituaries, repeated death notices (some maybe with pending info), followed by the funeral details, fraternal notices, reporting about the funeral & burial event. Then there might be family thanks, and even later, more notices of thanks from the family, and very possibly possibly death anniversary notices in following years.

If this had been the 1860s and 1870s, you might've found an edition with this horrible news about a beloved public figure lined with heavy black borders, running vertically between the entire length of each column, as the newspaper draped itself in mourning.

The horrific murders of Renee Nicole Good & Alex Pretti would have been reported in Milwaukee's German Newspapers ...

That's fine dude, I'm not mad at you.”  Were the final words of Renee Nicole Good, mother of 3, before she was murdered by a government employee of the USA.

Her murderer spoke two words in benediction after shooting her in the face: "F...ing b^tch" 

The christian nationalist ICE freak employed by the 'rump Administration was not harmed, injured, or inconvenienced, in committing Renee's murder.

 

Are you okay?” were Alex's final words to a woman he was protecting who had been pushed down. He was also tear-gassed, shoved down, and then bullets were pumped into him.

None of the christian nationalist ICE freaks in the army created by the 'rump Administration were harmed, or inconvenienced, by Alex Pretti's death.
