"he inserted himself physically into a confrontation with federal officers while carrying a loaded firearm and additional magazines, in violation of Minnesota law,"
I'm unclear about one thing. Was it illegal for Pretti to have multiple magazines on his person? This passage seems to suggest so.
If there is going to be responsibility placed for this manβs senseless death, I think it clearly belongs to Mayor Frey and Governor Walz, both of whom could have long ago put a stop to their senseless policies. Protesters can surely protest, but have no business being anywhere near law enforcement activities. How is it possible there was not a single member of Minnesota law enforcement anywhere near this so called protest?
A 37 year old in need of some commonsense advice from his parents seems to be part of the problem. Not unlike Renee Good, also 37, getting Venmoed by her mom in order to make the rent.
This video has made me reassess Pretti. At first I just assumed he was just a dope who made the bad decision to mix it up with the cops while armed. Now, watching him spazz out, I think he was an asshole who was working himself up to shooting someone.
I carry a gun everyday. The only times I've ever had more than one magazine on me is on the range. Magazines are a heavy pain in the ass you are never going to use as an armed citizen. The only people carrying that many mags are kooks who are convinced they're going to be shooting it out with ISIS at the mall food court. Which makes you wonder, who did Pretti think he was going to be shooting it out with?
The Hegelian dialectic is at play here. Anyone whose brain isnβt clouded by partisan bullshit can see it.
In spite of the writerβs positioning of Alex Pretti as a terrorist-adjacent lefty, everything about his behavior and activities was legal for citizens under the Constitution of the United States. This article only serves to show the writerβs colors: a right-wing partisan hack making excuses for a bunch of brownshirt meatheads recruited to inaugurate or advance a police-surveillance state.
If you notice, every executive overreach builds on the last, regardless of party affiliation. The result is the steady erosion of the Constitutionβbit by bit. Bidenβs treasonous and unprecedented opening of the floodgates to illegal migrants created the problem. This naturally provoked a reaction calling for a solution, which gave Trump and his cronies the opportunity to deploy masked brownshirts with military-grade weapons onto American streets, against the will of large swaths of the citizenry.
An example of βproblemβreactionβsolutionβ creating ever more problems and chaos. But who benefits?
When Newsomβor some other scumbagβtakes the White House next, Trumpβs precedent will not be rolled back. It will be repurposed to target the Right as βterrorists,β while continuing to build the planned police-surveillance state. Thatβs because both sides of the left/right paradigm work for the same bankers, billionaires, and Zionists whose goal is to censor discourse and keep us destabilized and distracted while they continue to rape us of our national wealth and gain ever more control over our bodiesβuntil a technocratic, totalitarian world order is established throughout the West.
But keep on thinking inside the right-vs-left intellectual ghetto and see what happens to your children and grandchildren.
I just described the forest from a ten thousand foot view. What have I said that is incorrect? Just to briefly reiterate, my point is this: Every administration of my lifetime (I was born during Johnson's final term)has been captured by international bankers, Zionists, MIC, Fabian technocrats--different names for the same demons. Every administration's overstep builds off the last, toward the permanent destruction of Human Freedoms not just in the US but throughout the West.
But yes, I will read Flynns essay. Thank you for linking.
You are an Apologist to murder and and unprincipled liar by omission. Pretti was completely disarmed by the ICE thugs - well - before they executed him. Why leave that out Mr. ICE-cuck ?
Alex Pretti clearly had malice in mind. He had a previous confrontation with ICE officers, and like Luigi Mangione who killed Brian Thompson the United Healthcare CEO, was out for revenge.
β[βProtesterβ] suggests expressive conduct, a public statement, and a basic commitment to nonviolence.β
I disagree. The Viet Nam era gave rise to the Weather Underground, the Baader Meinhof Gang, the Red Brigade, the Japanese Red Army, and many others.
The only meritorious protests in my lifetime were the civil rights protests that were nonviolent on the part of the protesters.
βProtesterβ in the modern era brings to my mind Oppenheimerβs post-Trinity reference to the Bhagavad Gita: βNow, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.β
Typical marxist globalist agitprop newspeak word phuckery. Wrapping their criminality in a thin candy coating of moral superiority. They obviously know their conduct is criminal, since they conspire in encrypted chats and are asking co-conspirators to delete evidence. And for all the talk of gestapo this and that, their actions betray they are not afraid, but instigators trying desperately to provoke a disparate reaction that can be used for narrative purposes (and potentially future impeachment/criminal investigations of their political opposition, as they are all screaming about)
Just another Communist jackboot mud toy.
This is very helpful. Thank you.

Hi
Here are some links to Pretti's aggression with ICE preceding a fatal altercation with feds.
Hope this helps.

No name calling, no weasel words, just calm rational and thoughtful analysis. Well done! Thank you.

And at the risk of sounding selfish, though feeling principled, his estate owes me for my share of a tail light assembly on a government vehicle.

It sounds like you are missing the forest for the tree. Take a look at this SubStack to see the full scope of what is happening to our country. https://substack.com/@genflynn/note/p-186017466?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=1h9y3r

Why would Superspreader sully his substack with this amuseonX garbage? Sad and very stupid.

Thanks Skenny. You rock!
oooooo, "malice in his mind" must be scary to the ICE boys who shoot when they are scared.
Chucky, malice is a LEGAL term. It means an intentional plan to break the law.

Exactly. We donβt hate the media enough. MSM provokes these fools into thinking they are warriors, instead they are useful idiots.
Very concise and well presented article. Tragically, the ones who should see it won't and those who do see it, won't believe it
Meanwhile up north, in Commianada (Commie Canada) the morons in the eastern provinces are crying a river.

OMGOSH, such a sad commentary on Canada. Hunker down my friend, WEFer Carney and the EU own you. π
