Happened again. Alex Pretti, an intensive care nurse, trying to protect a woman being pepper sprayed was shot 10 times by an ICE thug and murdered.

I hope this is the death knell for MAGA.

Even though I didn't agree with a lot of the things W did during his presidency, he wanted newcomers to the US to feel welcomed and respected, the complete opposite of the MAGAs.

I watched the video multiple times. That's not justified IMO.

When Trump starts a civil war he gets to suspend elections.
It was horrifying seeing that thought enter his head when Zelenskyy said you can't hold elections in wartime.

His second term can last indefinitely.

Murdered by Gestapo.
Haters online are beyond belief, blaming the victim. The don’t tread of me bunch are not just licking the boot, they are sucking the polish right off them.

the victim blaming aligns with Orwell's 1984.
Brainwashing from propaganda is complete when you (in this case MAGA) stop believing your own eyes.

Video/cellphone footage clearly shows Pretti intervening to protect a young woman being maced directly in the face by an ICE officer. Allegations by ICE that Pretti pulled a his weapon are clearly false. He's actually holding a camera and his gun was visibly pulled from it's holster by an ICE agent who (once Pretti was disarmed) proceeded to pump him with 10 bullets effectively murdering him.

this agent (including Renee Good's murderer) need to be prosecuted by the democrats when they are back in office.

I think if literal extra-judicial murder of US citizens is being supported by the current MAGA regime, I'd gather mistreatment of non-documented aliens is going to be really bad. Now you need to take violence and sexual harassment/assault very seriously since there is zero accountability. Stories of ICE stalking young females makes them really dangerous to families of colour.

Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and John Stewart all calling this murder. Masked secret police conducting extrajudicial killings are being cast as "victims" by MAGA. Doesn't complicity to assist covering up a crime mean trump and his entire entourage of clowns guilty of aiding and abetting a crime?

With Trump and the rest of the right now saying Pretti didn't have a right to go out in public during a protest with a loaded gun, this only demonstrates how the right were never serious about constitutional gun rights. It was just a means to gather pro-gun voters to their side.

You also have the privilege of having never actually lived under Maduro.

Trump hating him doesn't make him a good guy.

"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free, Bruce Springsteen"

Jokes are funny, what's funny about regularly praising dictators so long as they're dictators conservatives dislike?
