I thought Bad Bunny shouting out all of the Americas was kinda beast but let me go to Facebook and see what people who never left my hometown have to say.
Alex Pretti, a man with no political power at all, had more moral and physical courage in the tip of his pinky finger than 99% of our political "leaders" have all together
theres no meaningful way to engage with the right. you can point out their hypocrisy & even show them literal video footage. none of it matters. the only consistency is their subservience & depravity. this admin has been limit testing their own base only to find theres no limit.
@Tulgaat@Gib11@ryangrim You’re a lost cause Jeff, 99% of people can watch the videos and come to the only logical conclusion there is, that Pretti was executed in broad daylight for exercising his legal rights. You seem to be one of the few that are bent on pushing a twisted narrative
I don’t think you can say he was “resisting arrest” bc there is no effort to actually arrest him or say “you are under arrest.” The agent shoved a woman to the ground, he helped her out and was sprayed, thrown to the ground and beaten. The natural human response is to try to cover your face and protect your body as you’re being assaulted. Interpreting that body movement as “resisting arrest” is too much of a leap.
The agents escalated the situation repeatedly and then used their own escalation as reason to kill him.
@Operator166@JamesSurowiecki He had his hands up, was pepper sprayed and then immediately wrestled to the ground and beaten by several men, shot multiple times mere seconds after. And you think he deserves this because he was reacting with pain and confusion from the sudden onslaught?
NEW FOOTAGE OF ICE AGENTS SHOOTING ALEX PRETTI IN MINNEAPOLIS
Agents pepper-spray Pretti as he films and steps in to help a woman who was pushed. Then 7 swarm him, pin him down on his knees, and end up shooting him.

@Operator166@JamesSurowiecki Pretti was shot 10 times in a public street where 7 officers approached him and escalated the situation, after he had been pepper sprayed and was being physically restrained and beaten by several of them. To say the two are comparable is fundamentally dishonest
@Operator166@JamesSurowiecki Babbit was shot one time by an officer who ordered her not to enter a secured area of the capitol building as she and a crowd of armed rioters descended on outnumbered officers who physically could not restrain people individually. And-
Holy shit.
He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.
His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.
He never had his hand on a weapon.
Cold blooded murder.
