Re: 2025 Domestic Leftist Violence Thread
Good advice for ashley babbitt but it doesn't really apply to Alex Pretti since he wasn't obstructing law enforcement and posed little to no threat to the lives of the agents when he was shot.
Video shows an agent disarming him and removing the weapon from his proximity before he was shot. Was he shot in the back? What will the autopsy show?

The way the local politicians are elevating things and not allowing ICE to do their job and you decide to go down there with a handgun and two loaded magazine clips….
Your chances of dying just went up dramatically

he had every right to carry his permitted weapon. There are no MN state laws forbidding this. If they had simply detained or arrested him, there would have been no charges filed.

Re: 2025 Domestic Leftist Violence Thread
How did Pretti interfere with / obstruct law enforcement?
- By being there? No
- By filming? No
- By helping a woman who had been shoved to the ground up? No
- By carrying a weapon with a valid permit? No
So tell us, what exactly did he do to interfere / obstruct law enforcement?
More importantly, what threat did he actually pose to the agents at the time that he was shot?
- Was he still armed? No
- Could he have lunged for his weapon? Doesn't look like it
- Could he have physically overpowered the 7 or so agents who were standing over him? No
- Was he even facing the agents or was his back to the agents?
How do you justify shooting an unarmed man 10+ times?
If and when the agents involved are indicted by local/state government will MAQA yahoos be consistent and say that they FAFOed or will they claim government overreach or similar?

Re: 2025 Domestic Leftist Violence Thread
So legally carrying a gun deserves an execution? Do you ever carry guns?
Trying to assist a protestor who had been knocked to the ground by agents is physically interfering with LE? And then getting assaulted by agents is FAFO?
Christ on a crutch you guys are horrible at this.

Re: 2025 Domestic Leftist Violence Thread
It actually does. If you knew anything about carrying a weapon, the cardinal rule is to NEVER get yourself in a situation in which it will need to be used.
Wearing one and then being aggressive is a sure fire way of getting killed.
I conceal carry only in situations where me and/or my family could get boxed in. Both my children know my rule. Stay behind me and we escape if possible, not fight.
You are also supposed to have your CCL and government ID in your possession as well.

Oh, and once he started fighting with law enforcement he was no longer legally carrying because he was committing a felony.

He circled the vehicle because he was videoing and he originally was out of harms way.
How is putting your vehicle and driving towards officers acceptable, especially when directed to exit the vehicle while it was in park? It's pathetic you are trying to blame this on the officer. It's a non sequitur.

What can be said is that the guys parents warned him not to do anything stupid and ALL responsible gun owners know better than to get in a scuffle with law enforcement and then resist.
