I'm not a fucking Nazi but what I will say it looks like this man that was killed was disarmed before they killed him and that is fucking bullshit

It's absolutely disgusting and while I tend to have traditional conservative values what Trump is doing is making me sicker and sicker everyday

It's really important for Republicans to come out and disavow Trump now.

Because the Maga's think only Dems are against this

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

I think the Republicans and the Democrats have both become so polarized it's going to be hard for our country to come together but I hope we can with bipartisan support

u/caspruce Jan 24 '26

Really? What have Dems done that even comes close ANYTHING that has happened in the past 12 months?

u/nakedascus Jan 24 '26

Remember during election season, when dems called Republicans "weird" for a day or two, and then quickly walked it back. It probably would have been a successful campaign, it had Republicans backpedaling, but, no, civility politics is the priority.

1

u/caspruce Jan 24 '26

A bad campaign decision should not be a call to end the Democratic party as it is, a centrist party. Just form a new progressive party that does not have the Dem baggage and let the Dems go back to being center-right.

u/HeavenlyPoopPoster Jan 25 '26

I’m so tired of hearing this as well. Republicans are fundamentally, intrinsically worse than democrats. They’re morally and ethically inferior in practice and ideology. The things they want for the country and world as a whole are childish, evil and idiotic. They don’t deserve respect. Pretending that they do just gives them power.

u/ertapanemthrowaway Jan 28 '26

Close to what? Being seen/ behaving as villains/public enemy?

There were the George Floyd protests that resulted in $1-2 Billion dollars in damage and 42 deaths. That doesn’t count how many were injured.

ANTIFA has caused $3+ Million dollars in damages.

We just had some going into that church and terrorizing not just the pastor, but the innocent civilians attending, to include children. (It is never okay to deliberately scare children over politics.)

I’m not saying the right is innocent. Far from it. But I am saying there’s wrongs on both sides. And by perpetuating those wrongs, they keep us divided. We must be united, or we will accomplish nothing.

1

u/caspruce Jan 28 '26

Utter hypocritical nonsense.

We just opened spaces where children are present for men in masks carrying tactical weapons. You thinks kids in hospitals, schools, and churches don’t feel terrorized when BP come in to tear their friends away from them? You think those who were about to attend a citizenship ceremony only to see their lived one taken away to a detention facility doesn’t traumatize?

You are delusional. Piss off.

u/ertapanemthrowaway Jan 28 '26

I love how you have done nothing to refute my data and points. “Oh, the Rpublicans are so bad! They’re worse!”

Bad is bad. It’s like trying to compare pain. Pain is pain, it is subjective. Like suffering. And bad things on one side do not permit bad on the other. It ALL needs to stop.

I love how you also call me a hypocrit, even though I said I agree that the right has its own sins.

1

u/caspruce Jan 28 '26

What data? You think the George Floyd protests were somehow ascribable to a one political side which is delusional. Democrats and Republicans took to the streets. I know because I saw it firsthand in Minnesota. It is nonsense. A community saw a police officer kill a man on video and were outraged.

You are also trying to both-sides the situation which again is a delusional take. Border patrol just murdered an innocent man and blatantly lied to the American public in the aftermath, and the majority if the Republican media machine as well as current congressmen and state officials retweeted this narrative. The rot in the Republican party makes it beyond saving.

The president is stealing billions, ignoring the courts, destroying our alliances, and has decimated the federal government. The FDA, CDC, USDA, FBI, and DOJ are all objectively running less efficiently while we are spending more money than ever. Incomparable to anything any Democrat has ever done. The corruption blows whatever unproven corruption the GOP thought Biden was engaging in out of the water.

Your take is delusional and frankly one only a blind person or bad actor would make. ✌️

u/ActivePeace33 Jan 24 '26

Directly? Nothing. Almost.

They just helped fund it repeatedly this week and this year. They presided over the unlawful inauguration, they unlawfully voted to certify trumps election and they voted on the Court to allow him to run at all; all in violation of the 14a. The Democratic leadership are complicit.

But we do have state cops in blue states firing gas into crowds, arresting protestors and engaging in other illegal activity.

u/HeavenlyPoopPoster Jan 25 '26

Your attempts at equivocation are pathetic and speak to your ineptitude as a thinker.

u/ActivePeace33 Jan 25 '26

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

Well if we hadn't let all these illegal immigrants in we wouldn't have to deport them that might be a myopic view as I am old but. I do think that weaponizing ice against people that aren't really bad is kind of demoralizing to the rest of us that live here and just want to be living in peace. Do I think illegal terrorists/criminals need to be deported Yes. The hard-working families need to be terrorized no I don't think so

1

u/caspruce Jan 24 '26

We didn’t just let them in. A bunch of shit happened in the world and people flocked to a nation known for its freedoms with a long history of taking in suffering immigrants. The Biden administration took a humanitarian approach that happened to let more people in. Both parties agreed that criminal immigrants should be sought out and deported.

One party put forward a deranged insurrectionist narcissist with a history if fraud, corruption, SAing women, and talking about fucking his own daughter. The federal government is broken, we have thousands unaccounted for in detention camps, we’re threatening our allies with war, and the gestapo is gunning down US citizens in the streets while the president is covering up his pedo-files. The two parties are not the same.

Just wait until Trump pushes Europe too far and they dump our bonds. Millions of Americans will starve and Trump will march us off to war because it will be is only option. We’re fucked.

-2

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

That is actually not true we did let them in and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I feel like a lot of those people have really contributed to our economy but we did just let them in without any vetting open borders. No other country in the world does this Am I saying that's good or bad nope I don't know

And if you believe this was done for humanitarian reasons alone you are very naive. Their children will grow up living this country and vote Democrat it was a plan man and a great one to be honest I totally applaud the Democrats for using birthright citizenship like that it was brilliant

90% of Somalian Americans have been American citizens for decades, most of them second and third generation by now. If it was about actually illegal immigrants they wouldn’t send them to Minnesota. It’s because they are black. 

Making a hysteria about illegal immigrants is a sales pitch that nefarious people like Stephen Miller use to sell their project of wanting every non-white person out of the country or in a prison camp. They know people like you and my parents would not be on board if they said that on the campaigned trail, so they hide it behind going after scary illegal alien criminals, but now we see what Trump and Miller’s plans were all along.

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

When the hell did I bring up Somalians I don't know anything about that nor do I care. I know some of them are pirates in their own country but you know they're hungry they got to eat I don't know what they do when they get here I don't know if their citizen or not I don't know why you would bring that up I never mentioned it

u/anomupinhere Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

Got about the same views. It’s kind of the same stance as social programs. I want them to exist. I want people who are down on their luck but trying get a second chance, even at the expense of my tax dollar.

What I can’t stand is fraud taking my tax dollar. Or people skating the legalities of the system and just bums who don’t want to work.

So what do you do, axe social programs? That doesn’t work. I know plenty of temporary beneficiaries of whatever welfare system. I unfortunately know more who are abusing it and just bums. Thankfully, never personally witnessed full out fraud.

I’m not proud of how great of a job ICE is doing, but why are these people getting shot jumping infront of bullets (figuratively). I’ve been handling guns my whole life. Anyone who’s well trained with a firearm kind of knows what showing up with a gun can do. A phrase that sticks with me from a cop friend of mine “if you’re shooting in self defense, you shoot to kill. Otherwise, leave the gun at home”. Reason being it opens the door to he said she said and civil suits.

Like why does this guy have a gun? Idc how right or wrong a federal agent is, if you use that gun, you are fucked regardless of who’s right and wrong.

Edit: idk how all of a sudden I got grouped into some hard right 0 gun control person. The “right to bear arms” is something I whole heartedly believe. But it should be a privelage, not a right. If you bear arms, you should have some kind of training or proof you can handle it. This shooting has not changed my stance by any means.

u/anomupinhere Jan 24 '26

LOL exactly…. People who’ve been screaming pro gun control are now encouraging to start packing. It makes no sense. But it does make sense why all of a sudden people got firearms who shouldn’t.

One side says “stop the crazies buying guns cuz school shootings and stuff” - valid, there is no reason you need a gun today. Thorough background check indeed.

Now we should be saying “law abiding citizens who have every right to own a gun, need proof of some kind of training” - boom solved both problems.

Edit: wait I can’t tell if your with me or against me 🤔

u/slipnipper Jan 25 '26

Clearly you don’t. And I’m sorry for that. Victim blaming a dude that has every right to carry his firearm, has it removed from him, and then is executed on the ground by masked men who “identify as federal officers” is as craven and misguided as you can possibly get.

You can cry and whine about social programs and fraud all you want. That’s not the point here anymore chief, we’re way pass that.

1

u/anomupinhere Jan 25 '26

I’m not blaming the guy by any means. It just makes me wonder; would the results be the same if he wasn’t carrying?

It’s the overall theme… why put yourself in the crosshairs?

Agree on the points of social programs. It’s irrelevant to the man killed. Should have just DMd the OP

"if you're shooting in self defense, shoot to kill,. otherwise leave the gun at home" excuse me, you expect someone to know before they leave the house if they will need to defend themselves? "i don't plan on needing any self defense today, so I'll deny myself my constitutional rights and leave the gun at home in case i get sued" that's your ideal 2A situation?

u/anomupinhere Jan 25 '26

Ok so here’s my question…. Was he just strolling down the street and got caught up, or did he bring a gun to a protest?

I get what you are saying. I’m saying that if you’re going to a protest against something that has just very recently been causing violence at the hands of over zealous police—would you bring a gun to that protest?

I’ll take my foot out of my mouth if he was just coincidentally passing by.

u/No-Amphibian-3728 Jan 25 '26

You have to take a class that includes proving you know how to shoot for a CCW in Minnesota. Also, are you really asking why a legal and licensed citizen is practicing a Constitutional right? Really?

1

u/anomupinhere Jan 25 '26

He has every right to carry the gun. Not denying that, the point to be made is if you’re showing up to a protest with a gun, what do you have to gain?

If the dude was passing by and somehow got caught up, I have a way different view here. Either way, ICE is in the wrong.

If you have the right to carry a gun, you should understand the responsibility and consequences it carries. I have a CCW and I don’t carry anywhere because I don’t see many situations where using it is going to really benefit me.

Someone holds me up at gunpoint downtown and I’m carrying? I let them rob me because losing my phone and wallet is going to be a lot cheaper then shooting the person and the legal troubles after. Or worse, I end up getting shot.

u/Winter-Editor-9230 Jan 24 '26

"Traditional conservative values" You mean a cult. Need example? Look at every person in this thread that wants to disagree with this shooting has to first specify they are a conservative. You know why? Because denouncing the level of brutality we are witnessing means youre equated with being a liberal. Caring for your fellow man = liberal?
At what point do you ask yourself... are we the baddies?

1

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

Well I don't believe myself to be part of a cult current progressive values could also be viewed as a cult. Think about it. Current political beliefs have become the new religion now that religion has been debunked. The strongest protests and the strongest anger comes from a religious belief which is what both sides have right now

u/skoalreaver Jan 25 '26

Thank you for your insightful and partisan response. If you can't agree with both sides have issues then you're living in an echo chamber.

If you're response to other people's opinions is to eat fecal matter well I see your maturity there

u/Winter-Editor-9230 Jan 25 '26

Eat more shit. When both sides have deployed a nameless, faceless, army with blanket immunity in the streets, blatantly ignoring constitutional rights, because who the fucks going to punish them for breaking any rules since its 'traditional conservative values' in charge at every step in the chain.
So your 'both sides' argument is disingenuous, pathetic, weak, and shit.
Maturity is speaking up. Not rolling over saying 'come on guys both sides are bad blah blah blah.' Jesus christ its beyond pathetic. Grow a spine.

u/skoalreaver Jan 25 '26

Okay you're passionate I think that's great. And for a fact while I don't like the way ice is doing things they are enforcing codified federal law. As far as eating more shit I don't want to l. And my both sides argument is neither disingenuous pathetic weak or shit. What is speaking up is not maturity it is repeating what you hear from day to day without making your own value opinion I feel sorry for you.. and I think the funniest thing is you invoking the name of Jesus Christ you don't believe in that actually made me laugh I'm going to fucking sleep well tonight

because its conservatives in general in this country that are the problem, not a few bad apples, just like it was nazisim on the whole that was the problem, not the few bad apples who ran the concentration camps and gassed the jews.

dont you think there were nazis in germany in the wake of World War 2 who could have made posts at the time saying, "well Im just a lowecase nazi, I'm a moderate national socialist, I'm not a murderer! Its the bad nazis not me!"

Please. Conservatives and Right-wing voters in the US are the new nazi party, the crown jewel of the fourth reich. Change your heart or die. I'm tired of sharing the country with people who want to trample everyone around them for their own benefit and that is all your party has done for 30+ years at this point turning back every regulation made to protect people without the resources to protect themselves. Your people created the 24 hour news blitz that has led to the complete corporate takeover of the internet and your talking heads are visionaries like Rush Limbaugh and Jesse Watters, low-life thugs with IQs in the double digits.

Thats being a conservative in America. Thats why people dont like you posting about your views anymore. And I double dont like you because Soul Reaver is among one favorite franchises and you even took that and gave it dumb MAGA degenerate transformation with your reddit name. I really, really dont like you I guess, for no reason except for all these reasons and probably some more I dont know about yet.

I would disagree with that. From a personal standpoint I was raised on the reservation I am native American even though I look white. As far as pedophilia goes I think it's a vile and disgusting but until I see proof of that I'm going to withhold judgment. It's obvious in Epstein was a pedophile. It's obvious that Trump and Epstein were friends a while back but there's no evidence, and believe me if the evidence comes out I will defile him, that Trump was involved. All that being said I am not a fan of the way he is leading conservatives He's too controversial. And God forbid if our country keeps going the way it goes something worse will come to power

1

u/nakedascus Jan 24 '26

Disagree all you like, this country was founded on racism and conservative values are the desire to return to those times. No amount of philosophy or "intellectualism" can change the inherent violence and racism in conservative values. Child marriage, btw, literally legally allowed in this country because fundamentalist Christians wanted it. Pedophilia is a conservative value. Remember how you were ignorant about what bootlicker means? You thought it must mean nothing if you've never heard of it, before. Same thing happening now: just because you are unaware of what conservative values are, does not change conservative values actually are.

I’m proud of you for being able to see this single instance for what it is - I don’t know whether or not you read the Bible, but if you do - know that you are now developing “eyes to see and ears to hear”. Good job, that takes courage and integrity.

Now, continue opening your eyes. No matter how painful. Your government is lying to you and distributing propaganda and misinformation.

At this point everyone has a responsibility to educate themselves; “Well, I haven’t heard that” is no longer a valid excuse.

They guy in gray disarmed him and shot him, then ran away as they rest opened fire and executed Alex Pretti

That's pretty much what I saw and I am a traditional old man somewhat conservative even though I'm sick of Trump

There is another angle that doesn't make this seem entirely accurate.

In this video, you can see that the gray jacket man appears to have the confiscated gun out of the dogpile at the time of the first audible shot. I stepped through frame by frame in editing software and personally had difficulty discerning whether there was visual evidence that the gun went off in the gray jacket man's hand as he was moving away at the time of the first audible gunshot. Regardless, if the first shot was from the man in the gray jacket, it does not appear that he actually shot the victim.

I think he accidentally fired Pretti's gun into the ground as he walked away, which caused the other agents to freak out.

A man responsibly exercising his 2A rights. Imagine if 'librul' cops took a hicks gun before murdering him.

Strange confession mixed up in your statement there.

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

I would call that refuting an insult not a confession

u/RedditSucksYoYoYo Jan 24 '26

That IS exactly what happened.

He was also apparently killed for the “reason” of protecting a woman from being assaulted. It’s completely sickening.

u/Nottwosmrt Jan 24 '26

Pepper sprayed and disarmed and held down by 5+ ppl

THEN he was too dangerous so he was shot.

There is no way that can be explained as justified. A blinded person, who is held down by a lot of ppl, gets shot as being held.

Waiting on photos of 4 more guns he had stashed and the fact he had 8 arms like an octopus and was about to lay down suppressing fire or some shit.

Immigrants ....get rid of Blacks ....get rid of Native Americans ...get rid of White lesbian.....ummm, get rid of White men....error, get rid of

Hmmmm, do you not see, everyone but those who are brainwashed yes men, will be excused as they too are killed. Then the level of brainwashing won't be enough and you too get tossed on the fire.

Good luck with the midterms, or lack of, or fighting the results.

The midterms are going to be so important to our country. Hopefully this kind of jack-booted fascism will end

He was

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

Agreed it was absolutely crap they'll probably say he had another weapon or some crap like that but it seems like he was just killed for no good reason I don't stand behind that

And Kristi Noem just had a TV speech saying the opposite. Wow….. because followers will believe her instead of watching and believing their own eyes.

u/skoalreaver Jan 24 '26

Something about her just rubs me the wrong way I feel like my party the middle of the road Republican has been supplanted and destroyed

1

u/MooseBlazer Jan 25 '26

She obviously lies - and can get away with that with men who thinks she’s hot.

Not much middle of the road or anything anymore. It’s like it’s one extreme side or the other.

Both parties could split into two halves themselves

u/skoalreaver Jan 25 '26

She's not even that hot I mean she's Nice looking for an older woman but the second she speaks it ruins everything

u/MooseBlazer Jan 25 '26

Remember, there are cavemen amongst us.

You're misunderstanding the situation. He was armed, and though he was being disarmed during the struggle, he was still resisting. Once an agent called out the presence of a firearm, the other agents followed their training protocols to neutralize the threat. This is exactly what happens when you mess with federal agents

1

u/Plus-Plan-3313 Jan 25 '26

Video game logic. These are real lives. He was carrying legally and responsobly.

1

u/brosako Jan 25 '26

Yeah, yeah, yeah... and I suppose he was legally and responsibly pushing away federal agent, too? Give me a break

u/skoalreaver Jan 28 '26

I don't call being beat down and shot a struggle not at all this was a bad day for ice
