Justified
by Vincent Thomas Ignatious
I'm trying to refrain from commenting on the ton of posts and comments on social media, as well as those from elected officials, regarding the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota.
Arm chair warriors are dissecting frame by frame slowed down videos of the incident. Some are criticizing Border Patrol for their tactics, including some conservative voices. Others are calling Pretti a hero for defending a woman.
Some say he was holding a gun when he was shot. Others are saying he wasn't. So far, this is what I've seen, along with some facts.
Pretti had an open carry license. He thought it would be a good idea to bring a 9mm handgun, with extra magazines, to an organized obstruction of Federal activities, without carrying any ID. Technically, he was in criminal possession of a weapon, although he had a license to carry. That license and his State ID, must be on his person when carrying.
BP was in the process of removing and attempting to arrest a woman who was actively interfering with their lawful activists. Pretti intervened. His motives here are irrelevant. He interfered with law enforcement, then resisted when they tried to take him into custody.
So here's what happened afterward.
It appears he was disarmed by a BP agent during the scuffle. It APPEARS that BP agent yelled 'gun!' as he disarmed him. Mere seconds later, the agent holding that gun had an accidental discharge. Other agents, who did not know Pretti was relieved of his firearm, heard 'gun' and seconds later, a gunshot. They the opened fire on Pretti, who they assumed fired his weapon at them.
I'm not going to criticize tactics. It is a shit show in Minnesota precisely because of these trained agitators. But if people put emotion aside and look at the law and the justification of the use of deadly force... If what I think happened actually happened, the use of force would be justified.
So stop with the slow motion bullshit videos of a man carrying that gun as it went off, saying it was Pretti. It was not. It was the BP agent who took his gun. But legally, that's irrelevant.
Now let's get into the heart of the matter... Politics and personal responsibility.
These agitators deliberately are interfering with BP and ICE, as their Comrades record these confrontations. It is a Left wing tactic designed to force agents to act and use force, which is then recorded and disseminated for propaganda purposes.
When you have people who refuse to comply with the Law challenging Law enforcement agents who are then forced to act, often using physical force, it is never pretty. The use of force by armed police officers or federal agents never looks good.
This tactic is also used by Hamas. They force Israel to act and use their military force, as Hamas puts women and children in harm's way. These incidents are recorded, disseminated, and echoed by a willfully complicit media and social media influencers.
In other words it is pure propaganda designed to invoke emotion devoid of facts and reason. It is designed to create a false image and narrative of an out of control Federal agency and President in an election year.
Wait until you see what these people do this summer. It's 2020, repeated. It is a planned and sophisticated operation designed to give democrats the House and Senate. They will impeach and remove Trump should they win.
Welcome to the revolution.
This is why Jacob 'Cause Fray' and Tampon Tim Walz are encouraging these violent acts. Much like democrats did in 2020 when Antifa and BLM looted, murdered, burned churches, buildings, and assaulted cops.
Democrats called these rioters and murderers, "the voices of the unheard." Chris Cuomo said the protests don't have to be peaceful.
Compare all this to the treatment of the handful of knuckleheads out of a crowd of thousands who commited crimes on January 6th, as well as the many more who simply walked into the Capitol Building and were peaceful.
Arrested.
In solitary confinement.
Treated worse than Islamic terrorists at Gitmo.
You have to look at this through a political lense because the politics of the vile democrat leftist media machine is causing this.
Don't get caught up in petty nonsense about who was carrying the gun or Pettii's motives. It's far bigger than this.
It is a planned, organized revolution complete with State sanctioned and media sanctioned propaganda.

Yup. The Democrats want another "Summer of George Floyd" and one way or another, they are determined to get one. Tampon Timmy had a phone conversation with President Trump today and Trump laid down the law to him. I hope it does some good.
And I hope Trump used words with few letters in them so Walz could understand them.
But I think the only thing that's going to work is for Trump to say OK, Buddy, here comes the Insurrection Act. Because Walz, Frey and the rest of the idiots in Minnesota are going to ignore him otherwise.

Agreed. The Insurrection Act is the only option they've left Trump. And of course they hope to use that against him in the upcoming election, saying he's trying to make himself a dictator.
He's basically Lincoln II. As Fay Voshell observed, Walz has gone full Ft. Sumpter and is attempting secession via the courts, granted but secession nonetheless. If Trump has to raise an army and force Minnesota to obey the laws of the land so be it.
