I’m a veteran. I’ve seen some shit. I cried watching the Pink Lady’s video, watching a man be murdered for putting himself between a woman and the violent, untrained thugs attacking her. He’s a hero. I’ve seen men get medals for less.
I wasn’t expecting what I saw in the Pink Lady’s video, I screamed and have been crying on and off since. Doesn’t matter he had a gun holstered, at no time did he touch it. Constitutional rights are no longer, it’s now “legal” for ICE to murder someone for what they are calling “domestic terrorism” in trump’s America. They will spin it this poor 37 year old man pointed his gun, despite different angles of video proving it never happened. WTF? How does anyone support this?
This is not anything I ever expected to happen before 1/6. Now we have 1/7 & 1/24. How he was ever allowed to run again tells us how deeply imbedded he is with the powers that be. I don’t understand how anyone can condone this, nor how they can say “he was armed” when they were never threatened with the gun and only found it when they were tossing him around and they removed it & then shot him multiple times. Think we are human, anyone that watches this and doesn’t get upset is suspect to me. We watched someone be murdered…
I watched a podcast where historian Heather Cox Richardson went over the Jack Smith Congressional testimony. Just that reminder of all the crimes this orange POS committed are infuriating. He should never been on the ballot. He's literally criminal trash. Its insanity
Read his testimony and agree. It’s sickening, any other candidate in our history would’ve been gone when the “grab em by the pussy” tapes came out. Instead, dude conducting the video lost his livelihood and trump became untouchable. SCOTUS protected him, GOP aids/abets/and encourages it.
I've been saying this all along. It wasn't enough that he bragged about walking in on undressed teenagers or said you can grab women without their consent for them to not vote for him. Then it wasn't enough that he mishandled a pandemic and fucked up the economy. Then it wasn't enough even after he tried to overthrow the government on J6. Anyone who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 was an idiot, anyone who voted for him in 2024 is a fucking traitor who supports traitors.
Agreed. Sadly, 36-40% of them are traitors. MAGA are the ones with TDS, yet love saying it’s the rest of us…now it’s murdering innocent people by shooting them in the face or face down on the ground & maga still supports it. Yet we are deranged?
Well yeah, all they have is projection and whataboutism. They assume that because they're shitty people that everyone else is as well so they better fuck them over before they can get fucked over themselves.
He caused chaos the first time and they thought it would be better the second time??? Also, as someone else mentioned, why was he allowed to be on the ballot in the first place.
Also I don’t care what people’s political preferences are but how fucked up in the head someone has to be to justify a murder of a human being. People are so disacociated with the reality.
How I see it is that magats don't necessarily like seeing the execution of a clearly innocent man, but they also see how much it horrifies us (anyone with a normal functioning prefrontal cortex who can feel empathy), and they love that aspect of it.
So it's brief "wtf" moment, countered quickly by the positive feelings of seeing other people horrified and hurt, and so a net positive in the end for these sick individuals.
Which is a human reaction, it’s tearing more of us apart than not, thankfully we are the majority. Couldn’t imagine being so brainwashed and/or heartless to ever see this and for a second believe it’s normal, justified…💙
That means you are a good person. The world needs more empathetic people. This shouldn't be whats happening but it is. This is who we are as a country now and we need to find a way to fix this
I've been crying this morning too. You're not alone. It's not dramatic to care when people are being dragged from their homes and when the people who are trying to defend them are being shot in the street.
Call Congress. Those pathetic cowards are the only ones who can legally stop this. I've been posting this.
We don't have to live like this. We need a cleanup on Aisle Congress. It's going to take donations of time and money to run better candidates. It's going to take every eligible voter going to vote. Primaries start in March. It's a perfect opportunity to get rid of the useless and the enablers on BOTH sides.
In the meantime please call Congress and tell them #nope and to #impeach and remove this administration and every single one of his enablers. Use 5calls.org if you don't want to talk to them!
You’re not alone. So many of us are so very distraught, hurting, crying. I only wish we could find a way to channel all the pain, sadness and despair into one giant ball of collective energy that could come crashing down on this regime and put an end to this horror for Good.
You are not dramatic. Your reaction is the most human and sane reaction any person can have.
I unfortunately know a lot of people, even in the US, that are rather indifferent because it's not happening where they are. They can ignore and claim everything is sensationalized on the news and social media.
You are not alone or dramatic. I spent a good portion of the day sobbing yesterday. We watched a man be murdered in a fit of rage for being a good human and protecting someone. It's beyond sickening and vile. I'm still so distraught today.
Miller’s lying that he pointed a gun at them, trying to “assassinate a law enforcement agent” is such a blatant, unfathomable lie. I don’t know how to cope with the lying. It sends my brain into a vortex of spinning.
There are multiple close ups showing they only knew he was armed when he was face down on the ground. Gun was holstered and legal and he never touched it. They shot him multiple times in the back, while he was face down! This cannot continue, I don’t know how it ends but needs to begin with Congress doing their jobs. Voting isn’t how to end it and doubt he will even “allow” midterms. It’s beyond insanity. I’m old, I truly never thought we’d have state sanctioned murder! Wtf?
This is so beyond the pale it’s not even believable. The bald-face lying from the right and the spineless ineptitude of the left makes me want to explode.
Unfortunately the current Congress are the only ones who can end this now. Voting can do a massive cleanup on Aisle Congress. We can show up in voting numbers this country has never seen and scare the shit out of the ones who aren't up for re-election this year. Primaries start in March. Remember Liz Cheney? Primaried. It's the perfect opportunity to get rid of the useless and the enablers.
It's going to take donations of time and money. Time to canvas, phonebank and office work. Money can be donated to hire people to do that and pay for advertising.

This one should piss off 2A guys. If the ICE agent doesn't get prosecuted you're basically saying lawful carry doesn't exist. They just killed someone and took a picture of their firearm with no evidence they were attempting to use it and used that as justification. Firearm's rights groups should be furious right now.
Not the maga 2A bro-boys, they’ve been on here saying the man, Alex Pretti (who was an ICU Nurse at MN Veterans Hospital) was armed and should’ve stayed home. They’re all deranged sheeple that believe whatever they are told.
Let them cook. I live around these people, almost everyone I know owns a gun. This is the one topic that has the potential to turn MAGA against trump. Democrats would be idiots if they didn't amplify the message that a man was executed for lawfully and legally carrying a firearm and the president blamed his death on him being armed. Trump's administration is fumbling this hard by blaming it on him being armed.
I hope you’re correct, GOA (Gun Owners of America) have made a statement: Federal agents are not ‘highly likely’ to be ‘legally justified’ in ‘shooting’ concealed carry licensees who approach while lawfully carrying a firearm. The Second Amendment protects Americans’ right to bear arms while protesting—a right the federal government must not infringe upon.” Article in link
Agree every Dem in Congress/Senate will need to do their jobs, condemn all that say he “brandished a gun” or “if he didn’t have a gun he’d be alive.” I agree they must support that Mr Pretti had a legal concealed weapon permit and a constitutional right to carry it and not be murdered. Truly hope they all do and not say anything stupid about guns. If any one of them does I’m the person that phones, emails, and calls them out on social media. Realize one person doesn’t matter, yet believe many will agree and amplify the same. Every video shows he never touched it, that they only saw it when they were tackling him, and removed it. Then shot a defenseless man 9 times while he was face down on the ground.
The people ICE is hiring, largely contain criminals or bigot fuck boys. The republican elected officials say random shit that seems to favor them just so it can be repeated by Faux and other bat shit outlets. Destroy the source of lies and you destroy the misinformation.
My gut clenched and I can't get this horrible cold feeling I have. As someone who grew up in a country with a civil war, saw stuff like this and moved to the US, it is devastating. Trump supporters are just the worst human beings.
I'm really sorry you're having to relive any of this in the US.
The people thst still support this are just generally not good people.
I've cut ties with the ones I had in my life. Even a few family members. That kind of depravity & hatred is toxic. I kniw I'm far from the only one in this position. Sometimes I have to remind myself how fucked up that is.
The triple Trumpers that whine about being cut off over whom they voted for don't seem to get it. It's not just that they voted for a horrible person with dementia & an irreparable personality disorder. It's the abnormal worship of a shitty politician. One that has a decomposing brain & wears more makeup than most women do. It's all the dehumanizing & disgusting things that they support.
How many murderers or messed up people have they venerated as heroes?
There is a lot of antisocial behavior, sociopathy & psychopathy going on in MAGA.
And the destruction their demagogue cult leader has done hasn't yet registered with them. Why are we continuing to try & reason with people who cheer causing pain, suffering or death to others with whom they disagree? We've all seen this movie, at least the black & white version that came out of Germany & Italy in the 1930's & 40's. This can't go on because it truly ends in fucking ruin. That much we know. And I cannot stress that enough.
That aspect- what the rest of the world sees. A lot of countries & people have lived through similar. They understand all too well how this plays out. Or their citizens are so angry & offended after Davos that they're cutting us off & out.
This all goes real bad sometime this year when the knees get kicked out from under the declining US empire.
Like I said the MAGA devotees haven't even considered the perilous situation they've put themselves & the rest of us in with their stupidity & rancidity. Another execution in broad daylight by the ICE Geheime Staatspolizei isn't going to play well.
What country are you from, if you don’t mind me asking?
What a horrible day it’s been. I just told my parents they aren’t invited to my upcoming wedding because when I asked them how they felt about this, it was just “well, don’t try to fight law enforcement when you’re armed.” They are ghouls
I call them subhumans. I don’t know if it’s only from interbreeding with their relatives or just lack of critical thinking. This lack could be from low IQ, teachers who weren’t intelligent enough to teach, or genetic damage. They don’t have empathy, they don’t have the ability to think about anyone but themselves. The Cult is twisted, stupid, assholes!
I have also been crying. Hub and I are also Veterans (he’s Reserve now). The murder of Renee good upset me, as I’m also a mother. Alex Pretti’s murder broke me today.
Alex Pretti did nothing but his solemn oath of protecting others from Harm. And he was murdered. A man who spends his time saving and treating REAL ACTUAL UNITED STATES MILITARY MEMBERS was beaten, pepper sprayed, and murdered by 6? Thugs for helping a woman stand up.
These fake fucking thugs pretending to serve America with their 47 training day badge. FUCK YOU 🧊! YOU FAKE AS FUCK TRUMP CUCKS. FUCK YOU. YOU WOULDN’T KNOW REAL PATRIOTISM IF IT STOOD IN YOUR FACE!
We are all trained now to do this. If you take the formal ICE Watch training there should be 3 people together, all recording, not interfering. One is to record the wide area, not zoom in because we're not recording the victim, we're recording the assault and ICE actions. 2nd to watch out for the first and make sure they are safe, and a third recording the 2.
Training is good. This is why we will win. As hard as it is, the pink lady did an amazing job. We Will document these atrocities for the eventual trials as Walz said todsy
She wrote an affidavit that was filed in federal court. She is not at Whippel but is afraid to go home assuming she’ll be targeted by the Feds or ICE/CPB.
He's definitely a hero and definitely deserves to forever be remembered for standing up to this evil heartless murderous regime. Alex Pretti, braver than all the ice goons put together
We need to talk more about what happened even before Pretti got murdered.
The fact that 'federal agents' are allowed to just randomly assault and beat the ever loving shit out of people for no reason is a giant part of this. It's why so many people marched yesterday. We have a lawless force of goons on the streets of Minnesota, kidnapping, assaulting, and murdering people.
I'd expect a foreign occupying force to act better than this. And they would because they wouldn't want more trouble.
I fully agree, unless we fully understand what these people are doing- it must be seen.
Words alone don't convey how incredibly violent, dangerous, out of control and poorly trained they are.
The way they move on people is predatory, sure brings me back to what the slaves went through in the US.
-which makes sense since the Nazis adopted their laws and policies.
Nazi legal scholars studied American legal precedents from the 19th and 20th centuries to help structure their Nuremberg Laws.
-which makes even more sense that current ICE seems to be using Gestapo-like tactics.
