"This individual... committed an act of domestic terrorism."
Alex Pretti was not a domestic terrorist. He was a nurse. And ICE officers murdered him, without any possible legal justification for doing so. The video evidence irrefutably demonstrates that.

(3,048 posts)Let's remember she runs an agency that is so supposed to coordinate a lot of things. Now, a giant storm. Plus god-knows-what with the Coast Guard and Hegseth/Rubio's imperial adventures.
Maybe her boss is getting tired of her getting all the spotlight and him having to clean up after her.
I'd love to see her get cut loose. She and Nikki Haley can form a book club. You know, one where they burn books.

(3,048 posts)He will be convinced what he sees on TV news is fake.
In any other administration, heads would roll. Like -- entire agencies dismantled. And that is exactly what we should do when we win Congress and the Presidency.
I can think of few people I hate more than Noem. She is so utterly cruel and inhuman, and so vain. I'd be nice to see her get her due.

A local woman posted on Nextdoor about her sadness. It took less than a handful of posts before a MAGAt went off on a tirade. Dont try to run over ICE, dont abandon your five year old, dont point a gun at a federal agent.
I simply stated, please post one image of him pointing a gun at anyone.
Point being they dont care and in 48 to 72 hours they will all claim he pointed a gun at an officer.

(4,903 posts)Because there is no accountability. Theyll lie about it like the last one and no one will do anything about it. And the cycle will continue until the People decide enough is enough.
Im sorry but Revolution is the only way out of this.

Oh wait.
The only way to remove dictators is to force them out. Hitler, Mussolini come to mind.

(7,377 posts)I may be misinformed but the murder from today was a protest no where near where ICE was operating. If that is accurate then it looks like ICE went where they knew people were for the soul purpose of starting shit.
Trump pulled the same with BLM protests. He sent the goons in to start the violence.
In such a case, peaceful protest is still the way to go but you can still end up dead.

(17,718 posts)Like this video which appears to show the agents realizing Pretti's gun wasn't on the body as they had hoped:
ICE asks "Where's the gun?" - not realizing one of them had already taken it away before the shots were fired.
