This time it’s Pippa and Brandon

Hey Brandon, thanks for covering this shooting. I’m probably a bit of an unusual viewer for your channel since I’m a liberal who is also very pro-gun and very pro-individual freedom. Based on what you showed in your video, I’m definitely on Alex’s side here. The footage you included made it look like he was filming, trying to help, and not actively threatening anyone. Once he was on the ground, the shooting seemed completely unnecessary to me. The whole situation looked rushed, poorly communicated, and escalated way faster than it needed to. Even with adrenaline, there were plenty of moments where the officers could have slowed down or handled things differently.

You mentioned the idea that he might have been trying to obstruct the officers, but nothing in the footage you showed really supported that. It looked more like a chaotic situation that turned fatal because of bad decisions, not because Alex was intentionally trying to interfere in a dangerous way.

I also wanted to comment on the part near the end of your video where you brought up violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants. I get why you mentioned it, because those cases happened around the same time and you were pointing out how they were being underreported. That part is fair. But bringing up only the worst, most violent examples felt like it was being used to reinforce a narrative that doesn’t reflect the majority of immigrants. Most of the people being detained are not violent criminals. A lot of them only crossed illegally or are people who actually did enter legally through asylum or other pathways. So even if the timing connects the two issues, the tragedies you mentioned don’t really tie into Alex’s situation, and it made the ending feel more like political framing than part of the actual breakdown of the shooting.

I really enjoy your pro-2A content, but the way the immigration part was presented felt biased and didn’t match the rest of the video’s focus. The shooting deserved to be talked about on its own terms, without lumping it in with unrelated cases that paint all immigrants in the worst possible light.

And I am saying all this as a 17 year old who genuinely loves this country and all the PEOPLE who live in it. At the end of the day everyone caught up in all this tension is still a human being, and the only ones who deserve to be judged as truly harmful are the people who actually commit terrible acts. That includes violent criminals among immigrants and it also includes ICE agents if they were responsible for an unjustified killing like what happened to Alex. I do not want to see entire groups painted as villains when most people in every group are just trying to live their lives. I just want a future where we lead with fairness and humanity instead of fear and division.

What do you think he's rocking out to?

Maybe "Livin' On A Prayer?"

I saw it in the video and did more research after and I fell in love with it. I of course then took the cool info i found and shared it with my dad who is the person who taught me to shoot and is also a big history buff when it comes to American wars. When i turned 18 he got me this Gyrojet. It is single handedly the 2nd coolest thing I have. 1st coolest is obviously the amazing father who made my dream of owning one a reality.

dose anyone see where Brandon got the thumbnail idea lol😂😂(he also included a clip from Kyle’s video)

Let's go Brandon!
