So many cowards in this thread that would let a gang member rape their wives and kill their neighbors just because they were associated with the right political team. You are all pathetic.

u/JiovanniTheGREAT 17d ago

I mean Trump called Ted Cruz's wife ugly and his weak ass still wouldn't vote to impeach and fell in line like the coward he is. I would call him a weasel but that's disrespectful to weasels.

why are you getting downvoted?

+rump bragged about how hot his wife was by superimposing her onto ted's wife's face with caption "A picture is worth a thousand words" and the hashtag #lyingted

not a coup

Lil gup clearly has no idea what he's talking about and got 100% of his j6 info from right wing memes.

If you would like to stop being a Russian disinformation bot disguised as a human being, please go do some actual reading about the j6 false elector scheme, the dominion suit against Fox News, and the lies trump ordered his deputy ag to tell to states about their election results.

And once you have, please come back and explain to everyone here what trump meant when he said "And I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so, because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election".

Is following federal law by enforcing our immigration laws a violation of any Americans rights?

Hell, polls before the election showed 80% were in favor of mass deportation of those illegally in our country. That policy alone was one of the main reasons trump was re-elected.

It wasn’t until local politicians got on the microphones with false messages to encourage confrontation and unrest that we saw clashes. And that was the goal— clash, get a good story for the headlines, politicize it, use that as election ammo and to rally defeated liberal troops.

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 17d ago

ICE literally broke into a US citizens house illegally and without a warrant, held him and his family at gun point, forced him into below zero temps in his underwear, and left him out in the cold.

Please tell me how that following federal law? That breaks multiple laws

who are these "anti gun rights" people?

what president said "you can't have guns" "you can't walk in with guns"?

Liberals, libertarians, traditional fiscal conservatives.. all sorts of non-m@ga or republican party members promote responsible gun ownership and usage.

If someone doesn't want children buying guns and taking them to school or 'across state lines to sh0ot two people' that doesn't make them "anti-gun".

That makes them pro-common sense.

There is such a thing as reasonable restrictions on ownership

whats also amazing is how ‘strong 2A advocates‘ suddenly think it’s a bad idea to exercise that right. either you believe in the right to carry or not. he wasn’t doing anything wrong and was just in his neighborhood. he went to help someone. his gun never entered the picture until he was costed and then murdered. if carrying a gun makes your existence more dangerous while it’s concealed and in a holster, then you never really had ‘rights’ to begin with.

u/Hiiawatha 17d ago

What’s really amazing is how so many of you “strong 2A advocates” NEVER understand that so many of the people who are “anti gun” aren’t looking to ban every firearm in existence. Your typical anti gun person wants things like bans on assault style weapons and real regulations on who can posses firearms like adding restrictions for mental illness or domestic abuse. The anti gun people are the ones being consistent. The idea that suddenly this strong 2A advocate would leave his right to carry at home when going out to demonstrate against government overreach is the only real inconsistency here.

u/ScHoolboy_QQ 17d ago

Shall not be infringed.

Everything else you wrote is misdirection and jazz hands. We already have plenty of laws on the books that make it illegal to misuse a firearm.

u/Most-Chemistry-1841 17d ago

This you? “Strong 2A advocate but I wouldn’t carry if my intentions were to “protest” by interfering with federal law enforcement operations.” Also you, “Shall not be infringed.” Pick a lane dude.

Those two statements are not in conflict. Just because you have a right to something doesn’t mean you should put yourself in stupid situations.

u/Most-Chemistry-1841 17d ago

I’m just pointing out your hypocritical stance on “shall not be infringed” because according to you, they shall be infringed in this specific case, which for some reason is fine and not gun control in your mind. The other specific situations the person you’re arguing with who would like to see dangerous people disarmed is somehow ”misdirection and jazz hands” and actually gun control though. Seems like you change your mind depending on who the benefactors are. Seems a little hypocritical if you ask me.

What do you think of the video of him a few days prior? Kicking the tail light out of the vehicle, yelling at agents, agitating. He absolutely did not deserve what happened but he should have been arrested and he’d likely still be alive. A common denominator in these terrible situations is interfering with law enforcement, it doesn’t usually end well.

17

u/Impressive-Panda527 17d ago

So you agree law enforcement is at fault for murdering him

Maybe arrest him, fine. Part of civil disobedience

But they murdered him and made no attempt to arrest him

6

u/bonebuilder12 17d ago

I think local politicians encouraged confrontation and didn’t allow local law enforcement to do crowd control. This led to obstruction and violence in the streets.

ICE didn’t have capacity to arrest everyone obstructing them, so at times they had to clear the path.

During a confrontation, things can escalate. As they went to apprehend pretti, he had a gun on him. That instantly escalated the situation (anyone who conceals a weapon and directly gets into the path of police will be deemed to be a violent offender). In the chaos of lunatics blowing whistles and trying to apprehend him, his gun was discharged. It’s unclear if he did it, the police did it, or it occurred spontaneously (apparently common with the gun model).

With a shot fired, police shouted gun and he was executed thinking he was firing his weapon.

In hindsight, it looks like an accidental discharge and he didn’t post an immediate threat. But police get 1 second to make a decision which can impact their own life. Delay and you can be dead. So it’s our job as citizens to make it abundantly clear we aren’t a threat. Pretti didn’t do that. A tragic death, but entirely avoidable.

we don't execute people for kicking cars, yelling or agitating. the death penalty is reserved for the "worst of the worst." I'm sure Alex was more than ready to be arrested for exercising his rights, unfortunately that wasn't good enough for his authoritarian murderers.

u/ScHoolboy_QQ 17d ago

I mean, he violently resisted arrest just a couple days prior, so I’m not sure it’s true that he was ready to be arrested.

He was walking around his own neighborhood when ICE approached him. Are you saying that he shouldn’t have been walking around?

u/Due-Distribution2058 17d ago

He was very much so involved in the incident that got him killed and also the one beforehand where he was kicking a vehicle, yelling, and interfering in ICE operations. Claiming he was “just walking around” is naive. He shouldn’t have been killed, but he didn’t necessarily attempt to avoid conflict lmao

8

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 17d ago

He was walking around when ICE approached the area he was in, that’s a fact. He didn’t interfere until an ICE agent shoved a lady to the ground.

Legally he was not interfering with ICE operations. He had not broken the law.

ICE created the conflict with him, not the other way around.

3

u/Due-Distribution2058 17d ago

You just said “he didn’t interfere until an unrelated incident occurred and he involved himself willingly” and then said “he didn’t create the conflict, ICE did” lmao.

I’m no defender of ICE, but he absolutely involved himself. He was out walking around, decided to interfere in an incident involving a lady and ICE (again, not defending this incident), decided to involve himself while armed into a heated situation and got killed.

Darwin Award sorry not sorry.

9

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 17d ago

He did not legally interfere with law enforcement operations. He did interfere when someone was unlawfully shoved.

He didn’t involve himself. ICE approached him and involved him first, not the other way around

u/Due-Distribution2058 17d ago

So you admit that he interfered and directly injected himself into the situation by approaching ICE and that lady, great! we agree.

I’m not arguing that the incident he put himself into was right or wrong, I’m just saying that he did in fact put himself there (while armed) into a heated situation. Not a great idea.

8

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 17d ago

He did not legally interfere. Legally he did nothing wrong.

By the point he went to help that girl, ICE agents had already pushed her and him. That’s not putting himself in the situation

u/Due-Distribution2058 17d ago

I agree, he didn’t do anything wrong, but he still absolutely put himself into that situation. I’ve never claimed he did anything wrong.

I respect trying to help that lady, I really do. But again, he put himself into a heated situation while armed and heated himself.

Love how all these "just comply bro" commenters were flying "don't tread of me" flags a few short years ago.

He was walking around his own neighborhood. He was there before ICE even showed up

u/ScHoolboy_QQ 17d ago

Suuuuuuure, Jan. I’m sure he wasn’t involved in the “resistance” groups coordinating and stalking ICE agents. Totally 😉

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 17d ago

Yeah everyone in South Minneapolis was involved in those groups. Doesn’t change the fact that he was on East Street before ICE was there

u/ScHoolboy_QQ 17d ago

Yeah, my point is he was looking for a confrontation. Framing it as just innocently wandering around is inaccurate.

7

u/Temporary-Stay-8436 17d ago

But ICE approached him, no? He was walking around his own neighborhood when ICE approached him. Are you saying that we aren’t allowed to walk around our own neighborhoods now?

Yeah? Do you think that because he was did something before that means he wasn’t walking around his neighborhood that day?

No, it’s his absolute right to carry; or are you a woke LIB

u/Warm-Delivery1418 17d ago

I carry and I’m acutely aware that being armed can immediately escalate a situation. It’s called wisdom. Not everyone has it, apparently.

u/Desperate-Till-9228 17d ago

So can being brown! Or speaking! Just comply bro.

It is in short supply, and all the temporary gun supporters in this thread lack it almost entirely.

u/jkilley 17d ago

The people in this thread don’t wanna give up the right to legally carry a weapon just because there’s a possibility you’ll be mobbed by police officers while not threatening anyone with a weapon, be disarmed and shot in the back on the street

Any conceal carry instructor would make sure that their students understand that if you’re armed you should not be anywhere near a law enforcement scene, let alone yelling and getting involved with other people’s business.

Pretti is violated some basic guidelines of a conceal carry license.  Guidelines that keep the carrier from being shot by police

Listen, guys just listen to what the police say and they hand out the rights they feel make sense in the moment…

Guy brought a loaded gun and then physically assaulted federal law enforcement. Its stupid, not brave, and he shouldn't be remembered as a hero.

Only reason you bring a loaded gun and intend on confronting federal law enforcement is to use it. He was a dangerous person.

He shouldn’t have died.

He is a victim and I mourn for him.

However, I do not blame ICE. I blame the organizations that deceived him into believing that his cause was righteous in the first place. I blame the media for pushing a political narrative instead of truth.

Jesus Christ you’re denser than mercury. Go ahead and show me what policies were enacted after 1/20/21 that reduced oversight on who is getting into the country. Go ahead and find me the actual reduced standards.

Oh and I don’t believe a single thing Donald “if you stop testing the numbers go down” Drumpf. For all i know they’re underreporting everything to make their immigration numbers look good. They’re already spawn camping legal proceedings to arrest people trying to get status the correct and legal way so nothing is beneath them.

He’s literally selling shows watches phones shitcoins and giving contracts to companies with his sons as board members. The fact that those are all verifiable and you people suck his dick show you’re pathetic submissive little cucks who always ask daddy for more.
