Says Pretti came armed to disrupt the arrest of an illegal alien criminal.

I doubt he feared other protesters so why else would he bring a firearm?

FNC posted a picture of Pretti boy today. He looked more like an antifa fascist pig than he did a nurse.

You can carry a legal firearm, have a concealed carry permit as he did.
BUT if you pull it on the Border Patrol you will still get shot! as he did.

He had no business carrying it at a protest. The legal permit justifies it? That shows how far out these people are from the mainstream. Most of us can put 2 and 2 together and these people don’t even try.

Besides. This troop of Somalian Antifas are really “pieceful protesters” and would only bring tromboners to their “pieceful third world fiestas.”

I saw some BS yesterday evening he was only holding a cell phone and was only trying to help some lady pushed down ‘violently’ by ICE/CBP.

Resisting arrest while armed, even holstered, is reckless and could very easily end badly, as Alex found out.

Alex and Renee are at the least victims of Minnesota Democrats propaganda and incitement. The ICE agents certainly are.

NO ONE should make conclusions about this shooting WITHOUT hearing the AUDIO accompanying it BECAUSE the FIRST shot occurs just as an agent is removing the firearm from the detainee.

IMO, the agent who fired the shots did NOT see the other agent remove Pretti's weapon. This is VERY important because Pretti appears to be reaching into his waistband just as he is shot. This is a BIG NO NO for anyone carrying a weapon while being detained by authorities.

ANY news media outlet who BASHES ICE or BORDER PATROL and shows the video WITHOUT THE AUDIO can GO STRAIGHT TO HELL because the AUDIO is key in understanding the timing of what happened.

This shooting was 100% justified because Pretti SHOULD NOT HAVE RESISTED (and ESPECIALLY BECAUSE HE WAS ARMED).

Even if that's true, he still refused to obey the officers and then violently resisted restraint.

You do that with a loaded firearm, chances are it's not going to end well for you.

As if ICE can’t tell the difference between a cell phone and a gun.

I believe someone was yelling “gun!gun!” and they may have fired after hearing that warning.

Someone posted on FB this guy was also a drag queen no idea if true but I’m getting the feeling a lot of the agiitators are gay antifa.

CNN interviewed this guy’s neighbor who was obviously gay/ trans, the woman shot was brought there by her lesbian partner.

I don’t believe all gays are deranged, but the radicalized ones are nuts.
