Merely approaching a legal observer is a violation of First Amendment rights. Let alone escalate until ICE then murdered him. We need to lower our tolerance for the criminality of ICE. At the first sign of lawbreaking we must challenge them. Don’t let them desensitize us to any of their criminality.

The mere fact thats there's people on the Right who don't understand this, the literal party of guns and the 2A, and excuse the actions of ICE today....you know its not about the 2A, or the rule of law. It's about resentment, and vengeance for perceived slights from the Left. Has to be.

It doesn’t fucking matter. He had the right to have a gun on his person. If the government is allowed to murder you because you’re carrying a gun then you don’t actually have the right to bear arms as the second amendment claims you do. They killed him execution style because they felt like it.

Yes, he was. I’m just saying that even if he did have a gun on his person that doesn’t give them the right to kill him. You asked if he had a gun or a phone and I’m telling you it doesn’t matter because they had no right or reason to murder him either way.

#defund_ice #de_ice Turn over all of the Epstein files. #pedophiletrump #hookermelania #felontrump #rapisttrump #fmaga #8647🪏⚰️ The Idaho GOP would rather support a #pedophiletrump than to admit they were wrong.

When Gavin Newsom becomes president, these ICE agents who have participated in these killings together with Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Greg Bovino, Tom Homan, and Pam Bondi will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Mark my words.

I thought the right was all for gun ownership, don’t tread on me and all that. Carrying ARs into McDonald’s like they expect an ambush around every corner. Surely they didn’t mean open carry just for republicans?

For decades, Conservative 2nd Amendment zealots have screamed about needing weapons to protect their nation from a tyrannical government. Then, when it actually shows up and murders citizens, they change the narrative. What a bunch of sick, sad, phony patriots...

Seems the shooter might have seen another recent murder realizes you can literally get away with murder if you wear a mask and vest that indicates you are a federal agent.

the people who think it should be easier to buy a gun than a car think having a gun is a reason to be shot i dont think this is a coincedence "of course the cop shot him, he had a gun" "liberals dont think the police should be allowed to protect themselves"

Let's be honest: Our country is GONE. And no one in power with any authority wants to do anything about it. The administration lies, fabricates evidence, employs a gestapo to harass and murder Americans, and invades countries for profit. Where in the fuck is your modern day Barry Goldwater?

I choose to believe this man, reportedly a Nurse who cares for Vets, was a hero. He was executed for coming to the aid of a woman being beaten and pepper sprayed by ICE Nazis. Shot multiple times in his back.

Isn’t this exactly what the NRA spent years screaming about - that this is exactly what the 2nd Amendment is for? “Arm yourselves for protection against a tyrannical government! Huh? Oh wait - my bad. We just want to shoot liberals”

Noem is the chief and shoukd be accountable. You have a platform theres an impeachment sitting there. Ask your viewres to make sure they have call their rep on H.Res 996........only 1 rep has signed dince the shooting

Logical, calm and accurate explanation... hope it lands on some MAGA. Hope people understand, ICE are now in Maine. Crime ridden Maine? And this chaos is coming to every Blue State who didn't vote Trump.

According to both his parents and from what you can see on the videos, this man was not armed. He was peber sprayed and held nothing but his phone before he was shot 8 times 🫣😳

Thank you, Adam, for the initial analysis. Normally, we should wait for all the information, but the Feds are already trying to close the case and exonerate themselves.

Tell that to the #PortlandMaine police who shoot at people with no warning or knock who are arming themselves against violence from druggie tenants who threatened them with life and limb Only certain people get covered by the constitution the rest of us get no police protection and then shot at

1000 percent! In the training for a concealed carry permit in the States that do require it, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT ARE THOROUGHLY COVERED! THE VIDEO SHOWS THE MA. BEING DISARMED, THEN SHOT 9 TIMES! IF TRUMP ENCOKES THE INSURRECTION ACT, MILITARY LEADERS ARE AT A CROSSROADS OF UNLAWFUL ORDERS IMPEACH

There is a video showing the lead up and the guy was recording them on his phone. That’s it. I’m not even sure I believe he was armed but even if he was, not illegal to record ICE

Call Keith Ellison (800) 627-3529 and tell him to arrest these ICE goons who murdered people - SCOTUS Drury v. Lewis (1906) says they can be prosected by the states. Stop being a Merrick Garland pussy

Mr Kinzinger this is murder in the first degree. The man was on the ground being restrained five supposedly grown able men holding him down and he was shot three times. Murder in the first degree.

This was an execution, plain and simple. ICE agents have been extremely upset because no one is respecting their authority. So, they displayed a show of force because they are weak and pathetic traitors.

Yup. This was state sanctioned murder. Period. There is enough evidence based on the footage alone that makes this an open end shut case. They pistol whipped him. Disarmed him and then shot him 9 times. They then ran away with his gun and detained witnesses… No more needed to bring charges.

Pretti was brandishing a CAMERA as a “legal observer” who stepped up to record a woman being pepper-sprayed. ICE didn’t find the gun until they tackled him for taking pictures/video. Chronology matters legally, doesn’t it?

And where tf are all the 2A people right now? They ought to be jumping up and down screaming "That guy had every right to carry a gun! If they did it to him, they can do it to any of us!"

Sir, you are absolutely right. Please consider running for Congress again, Washington is out of control. Will you help? I appreciate you and yr family have been through hell, and that makes me sick. But the Republican party is completely unrecognizable. Time for regime change.

What Trump is doing is creating and training his own paramileterie. They are already ideologically leaning. He is going to 'blood' them in the next few years, and then they will follow all his illegal orders, because their fortunes will be tied to him. When he's gone they'll go to prison.

I'll let you imagine scenarios of where he can use such a force. In addition to FBI and CIA, as well as the military being purged of disloyals. I don't know how Americans are not more worried about this.

Great point. It’s horrifying on so many levels. How is it that ICE now denying the right to legal gun ownership and public carrying? How is it ok to surround, pummel, and then murder someone showing a legal gun? 1/6 protesters openly carried a lot bigger guns. They are tearing up all of our rights.

Please, check this. Spreading disinformation is the job of the DHS.

I'm seeing people mistakenly claim the gun photo was posted before today, but its just how Google sometimes dates images based on the original date of the thread its posted in, not when it was posted. The photo was posted an hour ago in this 5 day old thread www.reddit.com/r/fivethirty...

Your government, local and national, is fully against you, including Tim Walz. They talk, but do nothing. They like this. They’re fine with your being shot. Prove me wrong. Don’t listen to people who tell you they’re helping you. If they were helping this wouldn’t be happening.

Where are all the 2nd amendment "don't tread on me" millicia folks who said the government was way overstepping on their rights? Hiding in their bunkers doomsday prepping. Full disclosure... I believe in the 2nd amendment, but steadfastly believe in gun control. #FDT #FGOP #FICE

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

And until the county DA & state AG get this fast tracked into the courts & ready all appellate strategies, the domestic terrorism carried out by the Trump administration will continue. But it starts with repeatedly labeling the Trump administration as domestic terrorists & setting that narrative.

We know where this is headed. It is really going to suck. I hope the military at least stays neutral. But with the purging that has taken place Im not hopeful. We need a RINO resurgence.

The 1776 parallel is real. Like 1776, we’re seeing a total breakdown of trust. When federal agents block state investigators and local leaders can’t protect their own citizens, the "safety net" is gone. It feels like the system isn’t coming to save us, it’s on us now

Hello :) To add: Apparently they choked him out prior to being thrown on the ground so he was already out of it prior to the disarm. We will wait for confirmation. Either way, its bad when you post the evidence to a news outlet before the investigation
