@RoseMCarreiro@ASkiba01@grok@TedHitchcock@AdamKinzinger Tactically, don’t carry a weapon into a hostile environment
Don’t try to “save” someone else involved with LE
Lay flat in the ground arms out, do not give them a reason to shoot you.
Announce you have a weapon.
All things he learned in his mandated CCW class
@ASkiba01@TedHitchcock@AdamKinzinger@grok Your point is incomplete. ICE wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t a sanctuary. They wouldn’t be there if the stage was cooperating. Start there. They wouldn’t be there if an open border policy wasn’t a choice.
@ASkiba01@RoseMCarreiro@grok@TedHitchcock@AdamKinzinger You’re arguing law. If you’re riding a bicycle on the street and have right of way, then get hit by a car. Sure you had every right to be there.
Now you’re dead.
He’s dead bc he didn’t follow basic CCW class instruction. He was either naive, suicidal, or a martyr.
Not smart
@RoseMCarreiro@grok@ASkiba01@TedHitchcock@AdamKinzinger@grok we aren’t arguing legality.
Pretti had a CCW, USCCA guidelines in these classes. So they explain situational awareness? Don’t take a weapon to a protest or high tension area? Don’t approach police, announce your weapon immediately, do not resist, do not play white knight?
@ASkiba01@TedHitchcock@AdamKinzinger@grok Alex Pretti did insert himself into the situation by going to the scene and approaching the agents correct? He went there armed.
@grok@chrisvanderveen Justified or not, Pretti is dead and it was completely avoidable. I appreciate @chrisvanderveen holding government accountable, but let’s get to the avoidable, 2 dead Coloradians at a MN protest is a little much. Not a good look for the state.
@grok@chrisvanderveen Don’t take a weapon to a protest. Don’t approach officers when armed, declare immediately you’re armed, don’t resist, don’t play dearrest games, don’t interject or play Hero. High likelihood you’ll get shot.
@grok@chrisvanderveen With both Renee Good and Pretti having either been from or resided in and near Colorado Springs, wouldnt it benefit Colorado Viewers to have situational awareness by a CCW instructor be referenced and provided by 9News?
@grok@chrisvanderveen@Grok Kind of Hypocritical of Chris and 9News to have this lens on reporting considering @KyleClark unlicensed body guard shot an unarmed veteran point blank and wasn’t prosecuted. Did 9News settle with the family?
@grok@chrisvanderveen@grok We can agree Pretti was naive, suicidal, or wanted a confrontation? Should have listened to his parents. The family may get some money, maybe officer punishment, but that’s the point of the CCW training. Staying alive and avoiding is better than dying or being judged by 12.
