A literal US Senator used a fake, AI generated image of the Alex Pretti shooting because it made the rounds on left wing social media and they're in such a bubble that they never saw people pointing out that the border portal agent has no head

[TheAmericanDigest 🇺🇸 @AmDigest]

Now what about the odds of being sexually assaulted by an illegal migrant?

[Rebekah Jones @GeoRebekah]

You're more likely to be sexually assaulted by Donald Trump than you are to be murdered by an undocumented immigrant.

I’m going to admit it; I bought the earlier lies and believed Pretti brandished a gun at officers the day he was killed. That doesn’t look like it was true and I apologize for my mistake.

Given the new video that shows him as a violent agitator, I’m forced to conclude that even if he wasn’t brandishing a weapon, he was engaged in combat with officers on multiple occasions while carrying a weapon. In the heat of the moment, when a gun is even seen, officers have reason to fear for their lives. And given that we know he repeatedly inserted himself into violent scuffles with ICE, it’s correct to say his own foolish decisions led to his tragic death.

I wish it hadn’t happened and whether it was a misfire or a miscommunication, something about the gun scared officers. Given reason to fear for their life, they are allowed to use deadly force. I don’t know if anyone truly understands what happened that day, because I find it unclear, but it all could have been avoided by being peaceful. This doesn’t mean I endorse what the officers did, but it does mean I can understand how and why it happened, and I think in the heat of the moment they have a defensible position.

Renee Good may very well never have intended to hit the officer with her car. Pretti may have had the thought he was just wrestling. But it doesn’t matter what YOU think in a fight with armed officers; if you make them fear for their lives, they’re going to fire. And if you chose to engage with them, fight them, kick them, and harass them, they you chose to start a conflict.

I would feel very differently about this if either person was minding their own business and was randomly attacked. The government has no business assaulting peaceful protestors.

But in both cases, they inserted themselves in the conflict with weapons (yes a car is a deadly weapon). In both cases they refused to obey orders or to retreat from the situation. Pretti had a history of violence against officers that Good did not, but Good still made a series of poor choices that brought her where she was.

We have the right to protest with words and non violence, but not to fight. The should be common sense, but to far too many lost young souls who want to LARP as heroes, it’s not.

I like Batman, but I don’t dress in black and chase down criminals in real life because I know the difference between fantasy and reality.

[TheAmericanDigest 🇺🇸 @AmDigest]

Liberals will post videos weeping about a 5-year-old being cared for by the US government after his parents abandoned him, but could not possibly care less about the devastating abuse and torture thousands of children go through every year because of open and unregulated borders.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

I don't talk about this a ton, but now feels right... I used to be a journalist covering human trafficking on the US Mexico border.

I’ve crossed the border illegally covering migrants and cartels countless times. I saw young women in the morgue after they were raped and brutalized in Juarez.

I saw a man get stabbed by a coyote in the gut, a terrible way to die. I know the sound a human makes when it happens. I knew a kid Neftali Fuentes who crossed 100+ times helping others not die in the desert across Arizona.

I’ve seen cartel wars play out on the streets of Juarez, bodies dangling from over passes. I’ve been held at gun and knife point before. Those who say open borders are humane have no idea what they’re talking about. You live in an air-conditioned suburb that might as well be an ivory tower. Do not tell me what we do now is virtuous; it is cowardice.

I hope we do what is right, which is secure the border, stop criminals from profiting off of misery, and help support local governments to be better, like El Salvador. I know borders and the separation of humans feels sad and impossible. But if you don’t understand this, yet you’ve never been to the border, never spoken to border patrol, never seen the many crosses of raped women in the desert, maybe get down off your high horse and try to understand the US can only have sanctuary cities... if we can keep the place a sanctuary.

The Scott Adams "So tell" for cognitive dissonance, observable in real time.

When a response begins with any variation of "so," "so you think," "so you're saying," etc., what follows immediately is a strawman argument.

"I love pancakes."
"So people who love waffles are idiots?"

Obviously, nobody, not even an alien who just arrived here from another planet, thinks the penalty for kicking a headlight should be execution.

Richard knows that, somewhere deep in his mind.

But Joel has triggered a nasty cognitive dissonance hallucination by presenting facts: Alex Pretti had a history of destructive interference with federal agents.

This conflicts with Richard's worldview, the hallucinations begin, and we get the most ridiculous sentence:

"So the penalty for kicking a headlight to you should be execution weeks later?"

It's ok, Richard. Your team lied to you, and that's not your fault. You're allowed to update your opinion because of new information, as we all must.

[Siraj Hashmi @SirajAHashmi]

Leftism is a religion without a God, salvation, or any chance of redemption.

It demands complete obedience of its adherents to the cause through coercion and manipulation, and any deviation or dissent is met with contempt and the risk of ostracism.

It’s quite literally a cult.

[TheAmericanDigest 🇺🇸 @AmDigest]

Unironically hilarious.

You know what I’m not even gonna click on this and I’m gonna tell you what the story is

Her parents were illegal and they got deported and they took their daughter with them.

OK, somebody else who’s willing to click on it tell me if I’m right

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Look man I support deportations but not like this. I thought we'd tell them to leave and they'd be like, "Okay no problem," and we'd be like, "Sorry didn't mean to make this awkward," and they'd go, "No seriously no worries at all," and we'd all shake hands and within a week there'd be no illegals here anymore and that would be the end of it.

[TheAmericanDigest 🇺🇸 @AmDigest]

Nevermind that the "protest" was a mob raging through their privately owned neighborhood.

Did you know that apparently if you're a lib protesting "injustice", you can literally do it whenever you want, wherever you want with absolute impunity?

[Climate Defiance @ClimateDefiance]

Patricia and Mark McCloskey brought weapons to a protest. They were honored as keynote speakers at the 2020 RNC.

[TheAmericanDigest 🇺🇸 @AmDigest]

Oh my gosh, a nurse! In that case, do whatever you want all the time!

It's difficult for the diseased liberal mind to comprehend this, but you can be gainfully employed in a respected profession and still do bad and/or stupid things that result in undesirable outcomes.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

We're used to seeing images like this of Nazi Germany. This is what an execution looks like. It's an image that will haunt America for years to come. Alex Pretti was an ICU Nurse whose life was dedicated to saving lives. Under the fascist authoritarian Trump regime, in the eyes of the world, America has become the monster it used to fight against.

[Paratrooper Brady @paratroopbrady]

Liberals crying over the fact Alex Pretti was a VA nurse.
Laken Riley was aspiring to be a nurse, too, but she never got to because a murdering illegal alien who shouldn't have been here took her life. Where was this outage for her or any of the other victims who were murdered?

[TheAmericanDigest 🇺🇸 @AmDigest]

You can't claim he was an innocent bystander and in the same breath admit that he initiated a tussle with an active law enforcement operation.

Only one of these can be true, and we know which one it is.

[Jenin Younes @JeninYounesEsq]

After watching videos of the Alex Pretti shooting multiple times, I've concluded that this shooting is an even more clear-cut case of murder than Renee Good's. (I was a criminal defense attorney for 9 years).

Contrary to the Administration's claims, Pretti never approached the officers with a gun; he's clearly holding a phone. The officers get aggressive and accost two women, whom Pretti attempts to shield from the officers' aggression. The officers pepper spray all three, and then begin tackling Pretti as he continues to try to protect one of the women.

It's hard to see exactly what happens in the dogpile, but it's obvious Pretti's gun--which we've learned he was carrying legally--has been removed when the officers fire at him multiple times. There is no self-defense case here.

The Administration needs to take this seriously instead of tarring the victim as a "domestic terrorist" once again. A refusal to acknowledge that this warrants an investigation is pouring gasoline on a fire.

[Dana Loesch @DLoesch]

Yes, you absolutely can carry at a protest. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an anti-2A statist.

No, you absolutely cannot interrupt a federal op while armed and tussle with LEO. That's how tragic things happen.

This isn't rocket science.

[TheAmericanDigest 🇺🇸 @AmDigest]

Ope, they said the quiet part out loud. They are purposefully commiting suicide to stick it to Trump. Terminal TDS.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Because they aren’t actually news organizations, they are legacy media propaganda pushers for the far left

[Ben Shapiro @benshapiro]

Remember that time Ted Cruz was the worst person in the world for being in Cancun with his family during a giant freeze in Texas, while Joe Biden just took off for St. Croix and Eric Adams to the Virgin Islands during the worst freezing weather event in decades, to media shrugs?
