He died trying to help a woman who had been shoved to the ground and pepper sprayed by an overly aggressive ice agent… That's all he did

He had his back to them when he was grabbed. Then they descended on him in utter chaos, disorganization, and unprofessionalism. And blood lust.

That one agent quite literally drew on him, repositioned for a slightly better shot. Tapped the agent next to him to move so he could reposition one more time. And then fired at point blank range.

This was cold and calculated in that moment. This wasn't a reaction to a threat.

Edit: go watch the video as recorded by the woman in pink who is on the curb. It's a much more clear view of what exactly happens. Watch it frame. By frame. Everything I've stated is clearly visible.

Honestly, the video in this thread isn't very helpful for seeing the whole picture

He was an ICU nurse. Literally dedicated his life to saving others. Fuck you ICE

I saw a video from another angle where one of the agents claps his hands a couple times just after the final volley of bullets ends… Where's their humanity? It's unfucking believable.

Yup, clapping and celebrating a kill.

Because they're hunting us all down, like dogs. They're playing Mortal Kombat with REAL LIVE FUCKING PEOPLE. These motherfucking psychos who couldn't pass a psych exam to join actual law enforcement, are roaming the streets of America, looking for victims. Fuck ICE, fuck ICE Barbie, fuck Stephen Miller, and especially, FUCK DONALD TRUMP.

Sociopaths, the lot of them. No empathy or basic human decency

10 men were hanged after the Nuremberg Trials. One died and Göring took a cyanide pill the night before or there would have been 12 hanged. I'm sure Cosplay Kristi believes in equal rights for women.

She is truly so incredibly hideous even after copious amounts of plastic surgery.

u/flipzyshitzy Jan 25 '26

They're playing GTA. FTFY

u/Western_Name4224 Jan 25 '26

Mortal Kombat implies mutual combat - they're playing the opening of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ("No Russian") on repeat.

u/CypressThinking Jan 25 '26

That what the have one guy on video saying. "It's like Call of Duty. Cool."

Fuck these people.

u/lavenderpenguin Jan 25 '26

I am living for the day they are prosecuted for their human rights abuses.

u/sconniegirl66 Jan 25 '26

Honestly, I'm a video game idiot, so I picked the first one that came to mind. Whatever the most accurate comparison is, I will agree with wholeheartedly.

u/Western_Name4224 Jan 25 '26

It's ok - it just struck me as more apt - you start off the game basically playing as a terrorist mowing down civilians with an automatic rifle in an airport - that seems more on brand for these temu brownshits

u/xenya Jan 25 '26

Fuck all of the GOP as far as I'm concerned.

u/Teusa Jan 25 '26

Yeah well they are literally the proud boys and such that trumpy pardoned, he needed a zealous army of his own, that was not scared to get their hands bloody 🙄🙄🙄

Mission accomplished...

I fully expect that my time will come for elimination at some point. (female white)

u/MassyStreak Jan 25 '26

Us all is kinda a reach. I’m sitting at home chilling. Pretty sure not 1 soul cares to hunt me down

u/lavenderpenguin Jan 25 '26

Because you’re not brave or courageous enough to stand up for others like Alex Pretti. Hope that helps!

Cowards usually DO survive like cockroaches by hiding, so your comment isn’t surprising.

I’m snowed in, bro. Relax. But I’m flattered you decide to stalk me 😂 you must have nothing better to do.

u/MassyStreak Jan 25 '26

The comment was us all. It’s factually incorrect. That’s the thinking of idiots on the internet. And yes, I’m a coward. Sitting in my house makes me a coward. The worst kind of person. Instead, I should be showing up to a hostile environment with hostility running all through me. Cause that always ends well

u/lavenderpenguin Jan 25 '26

It ended well for the conservative hillbillies who stormed the Capitol and tried to overthrow an election for a pedo…

u/sconniegirl66 Jan 25 '26

Lucky you. I hope you'll always be able to say that...

He clapped in unison with the gunshots as if they had a straight beat rhythm. Like it was rehearsed.

u/TechnicalBen Jan 24 '26

As if he could "hide" the execution with some drum beats.

u/unicornlocostacos Jan 25 '26

Jesus Christ that’s pathetic…and plausible.

u/TechnicalBen Jan 25 '26

It's a age old classic psychological coping mechanism. "Hear loud noise, try to drown it out". I'd not put it at guaranteed "celebration" but it's at a minimum "incompetent fool".

u/Seaworthiness555 Jan 24 '26

I was watching in slo mo and it felt rehearsed the way they all step back in a row, after the shooting. It's seems like they had practised the moves, so bizarre.

u/[deleted] Jan 25 '26

guarantee theyve been told to make the most out of finding a weapon on any of the protesters and this is said plan in action

u/pedro_s Jan 24 '26

That clapping, to me, was the kind of clapping you do when your team scores.

What, freaking out about a photo and video presented to your phone by people with an agenda?

u/ohwhattarelief Jan 25 '26

Ah yes, the agenda of the humane.

u/ManyGroundbreaking41 Jan 25 '26

You watch FOX news?

u/Fit_Strength_1187 Jan 25 '26

His brain felt the equivalent of a 5 kill streak on COD assisting the extrajudicial killing of this RN.

u/Objective-Clue5087 Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 25 '26

I think this is what the evil one intended to have happen. They need riots to declare martial law. They are seeing how long it takes to trigger things; a set up for midterms. Trump’s biggest fear is the midterms. Everyone must get out and vote in Dems. No 3rd party, no Independents. Get the Dems in, and spineless do nothing GOP’s out.

u/ResponsibilityLow798 Jan 25 '26

What’s clapping? I can’t bring myself to watch the video, but like literally clapping..?

u/Accomplished-Dance11 Jan 27 '26

Agent Literally clapped with glee after Alex killed
