i have developed a much more viceral understanding of why bank robbers were widely regarded as popular heroes in the 1930s

I’ve watched all of the videos dozens of times - here’s what happened.

A 37-year-old ICU nurse named Alex Pretti helped a woman that federal agents had shoved. For this crime - helping someone - several agents sprayed pepper spray into his face - then they beat him until he collapsed. They pistol whipped him while he was on his knees. Both hands on the ground. Not resisting. Just existing.

They took his gun from his back waistband - he never touched it - but he had a legal permit to carry. The Second Amendment one. The constitutional right one.

And then they shot him.

After he was already down, already gone, they shot him nine more times. Nine. I want you to picture that. A man on the ground, motionless, and nine more bullets.

This is the same government that told us he was a “criminal illegal alien with a string of violent offenses.” He was an American citizen. He was a nurse who worked in the ICU at the VA - the guy who takes care of your grandfather who served in Vietnam, your uncle who came back from Iraq. His criminal record was traffic tickets.

They lied. They executed him in broad daylight on an American street. And then they lied about who he was to make you feel okay about it.

This is the third shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis in three weeks. Three weeks. Three people. One was a woman named Renée Good. One was a Venezuelan man shot in the leg. And now Alex Pretti, American citizen, legal gun owner, VA nurse who spent his days caring for veterans, dead on the pavement at 26th and Nicollet because he tried to help someone.

The same government that wraps itself in “support our troops” shot the guy who actually supported our troops. Nine times. While he was on the ground.

That’s the truth - don’t believe any of the Trump Admin’s lies about what happened.

I'm not saying Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot, nor do I believe in an eye for an eye mentality, but retaliation for the discriminatory and anti-American actions of the Trump Administration and their allies was eventual.

It's quite poetic that an older White man shot him with a rifle during a college event. I don't condone political violence, but it was Charlie Kirk who celebrated George Floyd's death and used it as another stepping stool to spread his extremist views.

Of course only now the Republican party cares about the assassination of political members of our community, only two months after the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband.

Charlie Kirk was/is nothing but a racist, homophobic, antisemetic, islamophobic, waste of oxygen that promoted nothing but further violence in our nation through the spread of extreme conspiracy theories.

I've seen my fellow black Americans shot unlawfully all the time, so I have little empathy for this single white man who eagerly promoted selective violence in our country
