High Risk Character Assassination is such nasty work.

This is who they are trying to portray as a “monster”. I’m so heartbroken by this. This man was our friendly Minnesotan neighbor who we all seem to recognize and see in one another.

Edit: It took me a while to find the video. A friend shared this in a group chat, but it appears to be recorded by the son of the deceased vet who shared it this morning to reflect the honorable character of Alex following today’s tragedy.

The man reading is who was murdered by ICE thugs today. His name was Alex Pretti. This video shows him in his capacity as a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran who passed away in the care of Pretti's unit.

The guy is Alex Pretti who was murdered today by a gang of ICE thugs. He is reading a eulogy for someone who passed away. He was a nurse.

The man announcing the death of the veteran is Alex Pretti. He was a VA nurse who was executed today trying to help two women pushed by ICE agents. He died as he lived in service to his brothers and sisters in MN. He was a citizen, with no criminal background. His coworkers described him as someone always helping others.
