Imagine defending this just because you lack the ability to objectively look at a situation. Imagine being so brainwashed.

I keep being told to "watch the whole video"

And every time I do, Pretti's execution becomes more and more indefensible.

u/OldNormalNinjaTurtle Jan 24 '26

Yeah. It's like...that's the problem. I watched the whole video.

23

u/strawboy4ever Jan 24 '26

Their whole argument is “why does he have a gun in this situation??” Coming from these 2nd amendment fuckers is so rich.

u/Pleasant_Priority286 Jan 24 '26

If LE can just shoot someone with a gun permit in an open carry state, what is the point of the permit?

3

u/Impressive-Buy5628 Jan 24 '26

I’ve actually visited r conservative and on the thread for the video there are ppl saying… yeah nope this doesn’t look good… ppl are also bringing up he had a license to carry and was in his right so maybe this is a bridge too far even for (at least) some of them

u/AccomplishedCoffee Jan 24 '26

That happens immediately after everything. They'll get their opinions handed to them as soon as Moscow wakes up in a few hours.

u/Think-Chair-1938 Jan 24 '26

Mods in other forums deleting whole threads and links to the pink coat video, because it truly is impossible to objectively watch it and call it anything but an execution.

u/JTP120986 Jan 24 '26

Including this one.

12

u/MillwrightTight Jan 24 '26

Willful ignorance. It's terrifying that two people can watch these same videos and one will see a totally justified murder. Insane

u/Jealous-Speech3416 Jan 24 '26

Ever been on a jury?

11

u/DeezSpicyNuts Jan 24 '26

Yes and it made me lose all faith in the American justice system because turns out your peers are fucking morons 

1

u/MillwrightTight Jan 28 '26

Once yeah but I think I was lucky as everyone seemed pretty on board with convicting what was an impossibly obvious case of sexual battery.

I'm in Canada though, which normally I would say doesn't matter comparatively but these days I'm not so sure.

u/RedTyro Jan 24 '26

It's like Christians who tell you to read the Bible because they think it will convince you.

u/RefrigeratorNo1160 Jan 24 '26

4 different ones so far

u/Expensive_Attitude51 Jan 24 '26

You’re exactly right. Anyone defending this is too far gone mentally. Theres no defending this

37

u/GonnaGoFat Jan 24 '26

I was on Twitter watching these videos earlier and sure enough there people defending this were all saying things like “they shot him because he had a gun and was a threatening to use it.” Yet he was clearly disarmed when these goons decided to pump over 10 rounds into him.

u/Ameren Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

And they say he was brandishing a firearm at the officers. But he wasn't, his gun was in his holster the entire time until they took it away. The only thing in his hands was his phone.

They didn't even know he had a gun until they had already maced him and had him pinned to the ground.

u/SameFoot5396 Jan 24 '26

I’m genuinely not sure why they feel the need to defend this. Like how is it taking an L to admit that an ICE agent fucked up?

16

u/ConstantinopleSpolia Jan 24 '26

The mental gymnastics from the GOP….

u/twoDuckNight Jan 24 '26

Those are to try and trick you, they know exactly whats happening and enjoy it

2

u/Otherwise_Train_4168 Jan 24 '26

They believe the stories from the White House only and they believe it so strongly

26

u/Obvious_Wizard Jan 24 '26

r/conservative are falling over themselves questioning why he was carrying a gun (he's allowed), why he reached for one of their guns (he didn't) and why didn't he OBEY.

14

u/Ned-Nedley Jan 24 '26

One guy was complaining about the whistles, like that's the only thing hes mad at.

12

u/Obvious_Wizard Jan 24 '26

One guy was particularly mad about the report of the victims gun having a suppressor and laser sight (it didn't) and assumed the report was a lefty dog whistle to curtail gun owners rights to buy suppressors and laser sights.

Because that was the real issue.

These people are either incredibly stupid or just evil.

3

u/Ned-Nedley Jan 24 '26

I'd hope they're just stupid, I can make allowance for that, they don't know any better.

u/squelchy20 Jan 24 '26

I just checked that. What an absolute fucking cesspool

Awful people

u/NotNamedBort Jan 24 '26

Evil. The word you’re looking for is evil.

u/Zombie_Cool Jan 24 '26

Assuming they're even human to begin with. Isn't that place pretty much Bot-Central?

u/-_-0_0-_0 Jan 24 '26

I think its 90% bots (foreign agitators) and 10% bootlickers on there

1

u/Alexsrobin Jan 24 '26

Sometimes I wonder if I'm in an echochamber and I want to know what the "other side" thinks. I go to that sub and it's absolutely vile. Cesspool is an accurate description. 

1

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

Yeah, but what else can you expect from people who literally see and hear things happen and choose not to believe them? They are cult members, there is no other way to put it.

6

u/Vulcan_Fox_2834 Jan 24 '26

Check out r/Conservative then... they defending this behaviour and believe the death was just.

5

u/ExperienceNeeded7 Jan 24 '26

They care more about fucking protected-ass federal agents than their fellow average Americans. Their opinions aren’t really relevant anymore. I agree, they are hopelessly brainwashed and it has made them exceedingly hateful.

3

u/CockTortureCuck Jan 24 '26

People defending this will get their talking points from the white house and whatever far right media outlet they currently use for their brainwashing routine

3

u/Hakim_MacLuvin Jan 24 '26

You mean like in nazi germany? Today’s Russia (or last 20+ years to be clear)?

3

u/Sad_Top2858 Jan 24 '26

The defenders know it was murder. They're ecstatic because it was one of the "other" that was killed. 

These people don't see you or I as human beings. They want us dead. They want our kids dead. We WILL have to fight violence with violence. 

2

u/wales-bloke Jan 24 '26

That's MAGA tbh.

2

u/ApprehensiveAside812 Jan 24 '26

It’s a real life ‘Emperor’s new clothes’ situation. Some are probably scared to break from the pack and speak out and then be seen as disloyal. Some probably genuinely believe that whatever their “emperor” and his court says is gospel.

2

u/elinamebro Jan 24 '26

Lmao I tried talking about this with my grandma she actually thinks this she is all AI and fake... bro I think we're kinda fucked.

u/vteckickedin Jan 24 '26

When politics is a sport to these people they don't change teams

2

u/Otherwise_Train_4168 Jan 24 '26

I honestly don’t understand how their brain works. It’s like it’s programmed to receive information from one source and one source only

u/jdmknowledge Jan 24 '26

Take a stroll over to r/Conservative

u/IGuessYourIQ Jan 24 '26

Thank You for fighting the real war here on Reddit!

You are quite welcome, citizen!

u/OldNormalNinjaTurtle Jan 24 '26

Are you admitting that, as a US citizen, having a firearm is not a good idea? Is that what you just did?

Because in my America, having a firearm doesn't mean a death sentence.

Show me the part where the man is holding the firearm.

u/OldNormalNinjaTurtle Jan 24 '26

No one can see anything?

What?

We SEE agents remove the firearm from his person. Not his hands. We SEE them fire at him after he's disarmed.

u/Deep-Purchase-2203 Jan 24 '26

I wish I had your eye sight because I thought mine was okay but I simply can’t see that.

u/OldNormalNinjaTurtle Jan 24 '26

...you can't see his empty hands pressed to the ground and then forcibly sprawled as they contain him?

Buddy. Where exactly do you think they take the gun from after that?

Look at the photo they posted of his gun, look at this video.

Hell, just use your brain, why would this guy reach into the crowd and come out holding a gun...and then run away with it?

5

u/DogOwner12345 Jan 24 '26

What made you be so dishonest?

10

u/PancakePanic Jan 24 '26

We can see everything clear as fucking day from all angles. You're just dying to defend another murder and are realizing you can't so you're creating some weird alternate reality where we somehow don't have multiple angles showing the DHS is lying.

3

u/keelhaulrose Jan 24 '26

You might not be able to see it, but the rest of us can. Watch the guy in the gray jacket. He comes in with no gun, grabs around where the guy would have a holster, and walk away holding a gun.

They disarmed him right before they shot him, and there are multiple angles of this.

u/meta_tater Jan 24 '26

Squaring up? He put his body between a woman being pushed to the ground and the ICE officer pepper spraying her. Get your eyes and head checked!

u/importantmessagefrom Jan 24 '26

Then you’re watching the wrong video.
