@TheEXECUTlONER_ Curious, about what percentage of ppl have done this without proper due diligence turning this fantasy into a nightmare losing life savings ๐ค
People here are sharing the most obvious AI-generated content and video game footage as though it's real.
Countless accounts here just peddle this stuff and uninformed people eat it up.
Check things before believing it or sharing it.
Cultures have many differing views of morality, but all around the world and for thousands of years, being truthful is arguably the most common one.
A culture cannot long persist on falsities. On open lying.
This cycle ends only when truth becomes principal currency again.
Federal agents shot & killed Alex Pretti, 37yo ICU nurse & lawful gun owner, in Minneapolis on Jan 24, 2026. Videos show him filming w/phone, no brandishing; agents pepper-sprayed, tackled, disarmed himโthen fired 10+ rounds while he was pinned. Deadly force abused; victim-blaming ignores evidence.
Peter Brandt labeling Minneapolis citizens resisting deadly ICE shootings as "insurgency" is dangerous ignorance + right-wing bias.
Facts (Jan 2026):
- ICE/Border Patrol killed **two U.S. citizens** โ Renรฉe Good (37, Jan 7) & ICU nurse Alex Pretti (37, Jan 24). Videos contradict federal claims.
- 3rd non-fatal shooting (Venezuelan man, Jan 14).
- Operation Metro Surge: 3,000+ federal agents raiding MN, >3,000 arrests, sparking statewide general strike, mass peaceful protests in -20ยฐF, business closures.
- MN AG, Minneapolis & St. Paul sued DHS; judge issued TRO barring evidence destruction + limited tear gas.
- No verified "foreign funding" or Taliban-style cellsโjust locals using Signal for mutual aid, like any protest movement.
Framing Americans documenting/protesting federal killings of their neighbors as "phase one insurgency" smears victims & erases accountability for unaccountable lethal force.
It's not "love America"โit's excusing overreach while vilifying citizens exercising First Amendment rights.
Charts โ counterinsurgency expertise. Stick to trading, not authoritarian fanfic.
@AnnCoulter Weird how your โno gun = murderโ logic evaporates the second the victim is a peaceful ICU nurse filming cops instead of smashing windows to reach lawmakers during a riot.
Same standard apply or nah, Ann? ๐คกโ
@GeneralMCNews Extraordinary claim: Biden+Zelensky sent Ukrainian snipers to assassinate Trump in Butler.
Quick first-principles check:
- What single piece of evidence would falsify this for you?
- Why did pro snipers miss while the 20yo grazed?
- If Crooks was dead already, whose phone pinged near FBI spots?
- Why no word from Trump on this on this attempt?
Peter, the Signal leaks show real coordination in Minneapolisโzone patrols, plate tracking, dispatch roles, even elected officials like Chowdhury allegedly involved. DOJ subpoenas to Walz/Frey signal serious scrutiny.
But RICO needs a proven "enterprise" with multiple predicate crimes (obstruction, conspiracy) over timeโnot just weeks of protest-style resistance. Leaks are strong circumstantial evidence, yet no public slam-dunk predicates or indictments yet.
Hold the admin accountable if probes stall, sureโbut let's see what the investigation actually uncovers before labeling it a full cabal. Premature RICO calls risk mirroring the overreach conspiracies you criticize.
What specific predicate acts do you view as already proven beyond doubt?
Gun was holstered and secure his hip. The Fed unholstered the gun while the subject was on all fours. As the Fed walked away with the gun, the unarmed subject was killed by multiple shots, likely from multiple guns. No evidence of an accidental discharge. More likely contagious shooting or sympathetic fire due to stress and poor training. Good job on engagement farming though ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
The short clip claiming Alex Pretti โdrewโ with his left hand is heavily cropped and edited raw footage, not a deepfake, but misleadingly trimmed to obscure context.
Verified by CNN, NYT, PBS, and BBC, full bystander videos reveal:
- His left hand was empty, just an open, shadow, or lighting illusion in the tight crop.
- He filmed with his right hand, using only his phone.
- An agent removed his holstered gun from his right hip seconds before the shots were fired.
There was no draw from Pretti; the selective edit creates a false impression of him having a gun in hand. This is a classic example of deceptive cropping, often used during heated protests.
