This historical war we face is a presence of evil vs the safety and innocence of our nations children. American morals and values are at at stake. Luke 17:2
Here are the facts:
Alex Pretti and the woman he was "defending," who has not been publicly named, were impeding traffic and harassing ICE agents. The woman was specifically blowing a rape whistle in the ear of an officer. Both were escorted to the sidewalk, where Alex Pretti was recorded having a yelling match with an ICE officer. The media likes to use this moment on the sidewalk as the "inciting incident," cutting out the part where he and the woman were in the street harassing officers.
Later, not immediately after, as the media likes to pretend, the woman continued to harass the officers with her whistle near the sidewalk. This was also cut out. The agitated officer then shoves the woman, which is where the media likes to press play. As officers begin to wrestle with the woman, Alex Pretti jumps in to pull them off, further aggravating the situation. An officer then pepper-sprayed him, and multiple officers wrestled Pretti to the ground.
The footage is difficult to analyze to determine exactly what happened from here, but there are known facts. Alex Pretti was resisting arrest. As he tries to sit back up, someone yells, โGun!โ The officer who ends up shooting Alex Pretti looks around, panicked, and takes a step back as he pulls out his gun. Alex Pretti then pulls something out (not identifiable from the footage) and jerks upward. At this point, a shot is heard. We can't tell from the footage if the shot came from the officer, from Alex Pretti, or elsewhere. The officer then shoots Alex Pretti in the back. A gun was found on Alex Pretti with a spare magazine, and he had a permit to conceal carry. The fact that he had a gun on him was not illegal. A physical altercation and resisting arrest is. In the high-tension situations that protestors have put ICE officers in, the threat to their lives has left them all at risk all the time. It therefore could be argued that the officer heard โgun,โ then a gunshot, saw a holster, and fired, feeling the pressure of the โthreat.โ Whether or not Alex Pretti was holding his gun at that moment stops being relevant when you factor everything else in. Is it reasonable to say the officer felt threatened? Now the only factor unclear is where the first shot came from. It seems likely, and this is only speculation, that the first shot was a misfire. This misfire could have come from either Alex Pretti or the officer. We really donโt know.
Now, the facts that the media loves to list about how wonderful a guy Alex Pretti was around his peers are also irrelevant. It might have been true, but he was also a troublemaker. As it turns out, strangely admitted by CNN, this wasnโt Alex Prettiโs first altercation with ICE officers. Earlier in January, Alex Pretti reportedly stopped his car after observing federal agents chasing what he described as a family on foot. He began shouting at the agents and blowing a whistle to draw attention or protest the action. This led to a confrontation where Pretti was physically engaged with the agents, so much so that Pretti suffered a broken rib as a result. So while Alex Pretti may have been a good guy around those he liked, he had a proven track record of being a troublemaker with ICE.
There has yet to be an actual incident where an ICE officer shoved or tried to arrest someone peacefully protesting on the sidewalk. Because of this, the media and liberal politicians feel the need to manufacture false information about these incidents, purposely lying to you. Why? Because it is the only weapon they have to take down the man they hate for exposing their own fraud. Itโs always about money.
