What is the fucking difference here? On the left we have some murderous Nazi shooting some innocent in the head and on the right, we have a murderous loser about to shoot a guy for not being afraid of him. Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse working with veterans at the local VA. He was not happy with the foreign invasion of Minneapolis by an organization full of untrained bullies, thugs, and Trump worshippers. He went to the protest brandishing the "weapon" those authoritarians all over the globe fear, the cell phone. ICE decided that this man without fear continued to tape them as they rushed him, shoved him and a woman to the ground and as this nurse did what he did for a living, help the woman up. ICE shoved him to the ground, took a gun from his back waistband and cleared it, then stepped back and shot Alex Pretti in da head. Then, as Nazis tend to do, the pumped 9 more bullets into his dead body. High fiving, calling it so cool like Call of Duty, these emotional adolescents in tactical gear showed who they are. Little boys who love power. Little boys who for whatever reason have fulfilled their lifetime goal of being somebody and not a locker stuffed geek exacting revenge on society.
There is nothing worse than cold blooded murder of a citizen by so called law enforcement, but the response of Trump and his minions is about as bad. What did they do? They do what all moral lepers do when they fuck up. They lie and they smear the victim. Kristi Noem, as despicable a person as Stephen Miller, made false claims about the confiscated gun, the circumstances and smeared the dead man with an accusation that he was out to "massacre law enforcement". Greg Bovino, the lil Nazi in the SS trench coat, parroted the same bullshit followed by Miller, various Republican sycophants, really dumb Senators and then by The Master himself, Donnie Trump. As the bullshit became obviously bullshit, not only did Noem and her mob boss double down, they got worse. The Twitter bots went to work. Fake pics of the victim in drag, the ultimate MAGA insult (due to their obvious repression) were posted by trolls and bots that permeate that awful social media site (yeah I'm still there trying to fight the good fight)..
The videos are obvious. If you deny that this was an execution of a citizen for daring to protest, or at best a colossal fuck up by these legal goons, you are a lost soul again. You are blind, deaf and probably very stupid. Or very dishonest.
My anger at this event and at the murder of Renee Good is beyond anything I can believe. I was alive at the time of Kent State. That was appalling enough. This is worse and I'll tell you why. Back in 1970 the world was a different place. The news was the news. The pictures were the pictures. Facts were not challenged. People were mostly disgusted with Nixon and his warmongering crowd of neo cons. There was no social media, no twitter, no Fox News telling its brain-dead audience that Nixon was being railroaded. Therefore, the facts were the facts. There was no Kristi Noem lying on behalf of a criminal enterprise. There were no whores like Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly out there promoting the horseshit emailed to them by the powers that be.
RIP Alex Pretti, Renee Good AND the nameless immigrants murdered by ICE in other places. Yes, it's a shame that their deaths were mostly uncovered by the media and that it takes white victims to get the press off their asses to cover it.
Alex Pretti did more good for society in one fucking hour than Noem and her hooligans do in a lifetime. A VA nurse that had the respect of everyone he worked with as opposed to a failed South Dakota Governor hired for her fealty to a madman (and that he probably thinks she's hot).
2025 sucked. 2026 appears to be gearing up to be even worse. Strap in folks. And remember, the 2nd Amendment exists for everybody, not just white men with tiny dicks. Is that a threat? No, it's just one of those pesky facts.
Fuck ICE
