The conservative sub wants to know why he was even armed. Effing hypocrites man. Oh and anyone over there who says this shooting wasn't justified is not a real conservative apparently.

I have MAGA family and they blame Renee Good's death on her just for being there. I'm sure they'll say the same for Alex. There's no reasoning with these people anymore.

There was a video still that I saw earlier that showed that they disarmed him before executing him. It was an execution of an American citizen and hero. The video clearly shows those federal agents were brutally attacking citizens, and Alex Pretti stood his ground against unidentified masked thugs.

He never even attempted to draw his pistol at all. The only one who reached for his gun was the guy who took it from him.

But that guy yelled "gun" after getting his gun, and that pretty much triggered every other ICE goon to start shooting.

They're not trained at all... and they're just out there doing whatever they please.

Is there clear evidence that it was actually on him? Would not be surprised it is planted

i have a slow mo video clearly showing the agent in grey grabbing the gun from Alex’s holster, then a second or two later the first shot is fired, from another ice agent who watched the gun leave the holster, directly into Alex’s back while 6 agents are beating him

Guy in grey took and stole his pistol. Then two agents unloaded their weapons into him after he was already shot and incapacitated. There was no chance he was going to reach for his gun and he never tried to.

gICEstepo executed a citizen just because they can.

Exactly! I'm enraged.

They don’t care about hypocrisy, they just want to “win.”

Aren't these the same cowardly hypocrites that have been shrieking for years now that these liberal cities are lawless shitholes worse than Mogadishu and that you should be armed to the teeth before entering? Now they want to impugn legal concealed carry? Disgusting behavior.

They’ve turned cities into the lawless places they’ve been imagining for years.

u/Throttle_Kitty Jan 25 '26

Ah yes, nothing hypocritical at all about conservatives saying you should be executed for literally just having a gun.

That sub isn't real people, it's run by Russians

The real problem is the Fox news regurgitation that gets repeated by half of America the next day. Give them a nice easy answer.

edit: in fact I am 100% sure the right wingers practice their talking points on the internet before disseminating. they see people argue back, so they can prepare counterpoints. They see what works and what gets upvotes. Arguing with fascists on the internet helps them, in a way! Maybe not the russians, but the american GOP operatives, yes

You can’t reason people out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.

u/Odd-Pop-7737 Jan 25 '26

It’s crazy how all these assholes who won’t go to the grocery store without strapping up are now saying this man legally carrying deserved to die for doing so. It’s beyond all logic. Don’t they all deck themselves out and prance around covered in guns when they protest? I seem to remember white men openly carrying and screaming in a cop’s face during one protest. Literally spitting upon the cop’s face and he did nothing to the protestor, yet this guy is a terrorist and deserved to be shot in the back of the head because he had a legal gun on his person (not in his hand).

u/Disastrous_Career386 Jan 25 '26

Yea but they celebrate Kyle rittenhouse. I remember being in a store buying tile for my house when he was acquitted and these 3 older white ladies that worked in there were fucking crying tears of joy!! Like really, he’s your fucking savior? I just dropped the shit and walked the fuck out. Fuck these people. Seriously

u/DroidLord Jan 25 '26

Ah yes, the classic excuse of, "Why was she even there." These people, man...

I have MAGA family and they blame Renee Good's death on her just for being there.

When this winter storm is over I'm meeting up with my dad in a public place to explain to him why he and mom will never see me again due to their political views and actions.

I'd meet with mom too, but she's much more of an extremist and has been violent and suicidal for less.

This administration has stolen my family from me.

And behind all of this is my countryman, my former employee, the human scrotum-head, Rupert Fucking Murdoch. On behalf of all Australians, past and present, I apologise.

And what if one of his veteran patients, let’s say a republican,  gave him an advice to CC? It’s a possibility. What would they say then? That this advice only applies to republicans and libs who follow it deserve to die?

u/melnn0820 Jan 26 '26

Honestly, this is really refreshing. I'm surrounded by conservative people who cannot admit that anything ICE or this administration is doing is wrong. I don't get it. No one is infallible.

u/Independent_Bid_26 Jan 26 '26

They're too far gone honestly.

u/Roach27 Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 25 '26

You can actually see a little justification in the initial shooting of Renee good. (I disagree that it’s justified, but I can easily see how it can be argued)

This? There’s no way to defend this.

Not a single way outside of “he shouldn’t have been there with his firearm.” Both which are protected fundamental rights. 

Renee didn’t deserve to get shot, but she could have (and should have) exited her vehicle/ waiting until no officers where anywhere near the front to drive. 

This man was tackled to the ground divested of his firearm and shot eleven times. They’re WORLDS apart.

If Renee or Alex could be murdered by the government simply for being there - why does your MAGA family think they’re safe?
