These people were waiting for years, maybe even decades, to finally get to shoot a human in their own county. It’s incredibly scary.
Wild he not only point blank shot, but there was possibility of cross fire and he fired directly next to another person’s ear.
These guys were hired en masse and vetted by AI, we can’t really expect them to understand gun safety.
You’re not wrong, but this particular motherfucker has worked for Border Patrol for 8 years. I see a lot of people talking about untrained, inexperienced thugs, and they are, but this is what they do with training and experience.
Didn’t look like he was fighting at all, it was them getting in each other’s way.
Plus he was pepper sprayed moments before
Bro was literally face down in the floor being held down by 5 people. I’d say this is a Mexican execution, but pretty sure narcos in the jungle are more organized and disciplined than this.
If this is what they are doing in public they are doing much worse behind closed doors
most def. the conditions people are facing in custody must be ghastly if this is what they think they can get away with in public
RIP Mr. Pretti. I agree with all those that accuse ICE of an execution.
Please mark as NSFW
Wow. That is so clear. You can see the agent watch the gun pulled from the back and once it was removed the agent shot him.
and he’s even aiming for a good moment, it’s not that he upholstered and inadvertently gave off a shot, he did pull the trigger in a conscious and determined action
Sorry im out of the loop on this, was it a gun or a phone? Is NYT saying phone?
He was holding a phone, but had a gun bolstered on his hip. The gun was removed from his holster by the guy in the grey jacket moments before the ICE agent opened fire.
The guy who as holding a phone and filming ICE. It also appears he had a gun on him.
My theory is that he saw a hand pull the gun and panicked because he thought it was the victim’s hand.
He clearly panicked specifically to something, it looks like he panicked at seeing a fellow “agent” pulling the victim’s weapon. Not the weapon itself which he seems to be watching before drawing, but the hand removing the weapon.
Since he had tunnel vision on the gun, he failed to recognize the hand removing the gun as being separate from the victim.
It seems pretty obvious that this was a retaliatory killing for the protests Friday and they targeted the guy with a gun so they could justify it for self defense
Exactly what I was thinking. The murderer who fired the first shot saw the gun, and even though it was another agent taking it, he saw it as a green light to execute Alex.
Watch the video again, he drew his gun after the other officer had removed the victim’s gun. He then took the time to back away and reposition before shooting the victim
This one is even more brutal than I could have imagined. Do note that the same person who murders this man is also the same one who was pepper spraying someone who was slipping on ice and couldn’t stand.
I had been struggling to see who exactly fired the first shot; but here it appears to be the brown shirt in a black toque and mask that’s center screen for most of this video.
He watched the grey coat remove Alexs firearm, which means he knew he was shooting at an unarmed target.
The rest reacted to shots fired, unsure of where they came from; but still went WAY over board, shooting and continuing to shoot an unmoving target that posed no threat.
My theory is that he knew a hand just reached for and removed the gun from the victim’s waist. He somehow thought that was the victim drawing his own firearm. It looks like he had seen the gun and was staring at it, but the moment the gun was touched by some hand, that seemed to the moment that drove his panic.
They are a bunch of idiots with no training or experience. The leadership is knowingly putting crappy people in the field, both malicious and incompetent.
Your theory was wrong in the thread above and it’s still wrong here.
He knowingly murdered an unarmed man.
Thank you for posting this. This is the clearest version I have seen and really lets you see how truly fucked up this is. Anyone still defending ICE/CBP cannot be taken seriously.
These fascist fucks deserve to hang
Yep, that’s an execution. So disgusting to see people defending this on other social media platforms.
I am curious how can this be defended, did he “weaponize” his arm and leg or something
People are brainwashed to defend the government and their agents no matter what. This happens regardless of who is the president.
Everything I’ve seen so far is
conservativesboot lickers saying “he should have stayed home”, “he brought a gun to interfere with federal agents”, “FAFO”, etc.Basically they’ve all given up on the idea of free speech and the right to bear arms, and have gone full on “we love big government”.
It’s not that they suddenly love big government, it’s that they don’t actually think… period. Politics to these people has nothing to do with actual reality, and none of these people actually give a single thought about how politics actually impact their own lives. These people treat politics like a sports team. They are Republicans, so they’re on team Red. Everything their team does is automatically good, because that’s their team. Everything the other team does is bad, because that’s the other team.
They don’t like the kind of “big government” that pays for health care for poor people.
They do like the kind of big government that does mean things to poor people.
I know that sounds like hyperbole but that’s pretty much it.
Yes, but they only think that way because that’s what they’ve been told to think by “their team”. They’re not Republicans because they are against free healthcare, they’re against free healthcare because they’re Republicans.
Nah, my dad will jump at any opportunity to talk about how bad and corrupt the Republican party is, but still votes for them every election because he agrees with pretty much everything they’ve ever advocated for except maybe Iraq. He’s a Republican because he hates poor people and minorities and “communism”, but not out of any sort of team loyalty.
MAGAs after a school shooting: “Stay away from my guns! The second amendment protects me from a tyraniccal government! 😎🇺🇸🦅”
MAGAs when a tyrannical government murders somebody who was exercising his constitutional rights by concealed carrying with a permit: “He had a gun! He’s a domestic terrorist! 🫨🚨🤬”
It was always this way. White man with a rifle is okay, brown man is obviously an agitator.
Guns are an oppressive force in the US. They have never and will never be used to stop oppression, just lead us to the new oppressive regime.
Holy shit, this was a cold blooded execution
At some point, after a couple more people are straight up executed because an ICE agent is a little pussy and is “afraid” of an unarmed person…people need to step up and shoot back…or shoot first. Just saying
They’ve shown they’ll murder you either way so it doesn’t seem like there is anything left to lose
Shame all those Minnesota hunters with rifles that know how to shoot from hundreds of yards away aren’t doing…something
Why don’t you? I keep hearing a lot of bloodlust and main characters telling me what they “would” or “should” do. Fucking do it.
I live 3000 miles away.
You live in Mexico?
I misspoke without actually looking at a map. 1730 some odd miles away.

Do you remember those news from like a week back or so how
PutinTrump has 2000 active duty soldiers on standby in, wherever it was, close by? It seems to me that this was the play all along- pardon the J6ers and the proud pigs, give them weapons, uniforms and face masks, send them in to cause mayhem on the streets (just like Hitlers SA), and the second someone defends themself they send in the army and declare martial law. No more elections.If this isn’t exactly how it will play out I am going to eat my own balls.
You are right, but now what? Will Minnesotans allow the executions so Trump leaves the elections in peace? Trump will try to stop the elections anyway. I think Americans are already so deep into Trump’s shit that they can’t expect any laws to work properly at all. The rogue state that the USA has been for decades has finally come to occupy the USA territory.
This is exactly what Trump wants. Your balls are safe.
This seems to be the play, yes. It’s a classic dictatorship move.
It is literally what the Nazis did. It’s not just similar to what they did, it’s literally exactly what they did.
It’s been used by authoritarian regimes all over the world. From South America to the Philippines to Syria. Martial Law is a dictator classic.
I will continue to post this every time someone insinuates that someone else should murder Trump/ICE Agents/ etc. Instead, please focus on protecting you and yours.
In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.
Owning a gun isn’t enough. Driving to Cabela’s and picking up a vermin killing .22 is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.
I am not advocating for violence…far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.
PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn’t about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. At the bare minimum, make sure you have quality active hearing protection.
Unfortunately, about 3% of the US population is currently barred from legally owning a firearm, based on a quick overview of studies on how many people have a felony conviction in the US. This number is significantly higher for African Americans and other races.
If Governors do not wield their State’s National Guard and police forces to defend citizens from ICE terrorism, people’s anger will only grow and more senseless killing will be had.
Tim Walz needs to buckle the fuck up and protect Minnesotans.
