BBC obtains footage from January 13 of a man they say is Alex Pretti

[Carl in Michigan]

I'm sorry but this person shouldn't have been a nurse.

He's not anymore

 

[Auld Phart]

yet another video of pretti proving pretti was exactly what wise people thought he was...

Hes an American hero in leftism.

Imagine packing a gun begging law to "assault" them...yeah, just a nice guy.

Blood on your hands again leftists. Left provoked it, then refused to stop it. Send in the next fool to make a statement, be somebody, be liberal.

just another 'peaceful' protestor.

 

[bdtex]

GFY.

He's right. MAGA is trying to rewrite what happened. They're losing again.

 

[Churchill]

Proper trained Police would have arrested him, and carrying a concealed gun (unless his holster was empty?) would only add to the charges. This is another example of bad training, the officer that failed to arrest him right there and then, should be charged for reckless endangerment or dereliction of duty, like stopping a drunk driver then letting him go.

 

[Unkotare]

... being eggheads from Michigan,....

There's something you don't hear very often.

 

[OODA_Loop]

The paperwork was not done, and there is no record of arrest.

I will type this slowly for you. Once again.

What evidence do you have that they did not arrest him because they did not want to do paperwork?

The video, where they got back in their SUV and drove off? The local and state, and even Fed saying he had no record of arrest?

Your claim is they didn't arrest him because they didn't want to do paperwork.

What is your proof it was because they didn't want to do paperwork?

Absense of paperwork arrest records is proof enough. Computers are really good at arrest records, local, state, federal, and all have access, not one agency has found or said there was any, and several have stated from an official position, he had no priors. Good luck hunting them to prove a negative.

Has your level of reading comprehension ever been tested?

I've seen people wanting to die who didn't try so hard to get shot as that asshole. I wish I were 20 years younger and there; if ICE would hold him, I would have gladly beat the living crap out of him. That bum should have been arrested and thrown in jail that day with a broken jaw, broken nose, a concussion, along with a few broken ribs.

People doing crap like that deserve about six weeks convalence in a body cast--- then sent the bill.

But where were the Minneapolis police? Had THEY been there that day doing their jobs controlling these animals, Pretti probably wouldn't have died a week later.

Minneapolis effectively has no police force. The feds are on their own.

This guy was a violent lunatic with a history of armed confrontations with law enforcement.

The end was inevitable.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Alex Pretti still didn't deserve to die, but this changes the context of the shooting because now he is a known violent agitator WITH a gun and that changes the mindset of law enforcement in that moment

It does not change the context of the shooting, as these events have NO bearing on the events of last Staurday.

None.

The only thing this impacts is the cult reflexively smearing him, which will now last a few days longer before they don't get what they want and move on to the next cult fetish.

 

[Independent thinker]

He's not anymore

When he reached those pearly gates he probably thought he had a free pass in for doing the Lord's work but was quickly put on the elevator and sent down to the basement, where he will spend infinity and beyond.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Well, now we know what the worst people in the country think.

 

[Churchill]

Alex Pretti still didn't deserve to die, but this changes the context of the shooting because now he is a known violent agitator WITH a gun and that changes the mindset of law enforcement in that moment. It also puts to rest the media narrative of a peaceful nurse being murdered.

In this video from January 13th, he was doing everything on camera except "legal observing." This is aggravated assault, obstruction, destruction of government property, vandalism, battery, etc.

Like Renee Good, he had no business being there and involving himself in the legal actions of law enforcement and as a result he's now dead. Like Renee Good, he was not a mentally stable individual. Mentally well people simply don't engage in conduct like this.

None of this stopped the media, of course, from running with the narrative they wanted.

Ahh so it was a revenge killing, how interesting...

I heard the police there had 600 officers. One officer said they were already stretched too thin to be defending ICE. That amounts to over 700 people in the city per cop, not exactly a daunting presence.

As to Pretti, obviously a paid troublemaker who had way too much time on his hands if all he had to do was spend two days within a week chasing down police and kicking in their tail lights, getting beaten up, a rib broken,. then finally shot in a forced, armed confrontation.

I want to talk to the hospital where he worked--- was he on drugs from there? How does a boob like that get on their ICU medical staff? Would you want Prertti working on you in the ER, your life in his hands?

Pretti was on a collision course. I heard that they are directing ICE now just to ignore these idiots, but I don't see how that will work. Ignore them and that will just allow them to get closer and more angry. Like children, these rioters are looking to press the boundaries until the government pushes back.

Pretti got what was only inevitable for him as he simply REFUSED to be ignored and was only pressing on until he made himself as big a problem as possible: AIM: just to continually tie up ICE operations obstructing justice. It galls me that the family will now probably get millions of dollars from some GoFundMe, then the city will settle with them for wrongful death for more millions just like they did with the George Floyd family.

 

[MayorQuimby]

Sorry guys but I am a bit confused. So, a few days ago prior to his death, he had an altercation with the same LE body. So people are saying that his death was like the predictable outcome of that or something like that. I don't agree or disagree with this, but what I don't get is, how did the agents know that about him? I mean the ones who did the killing. I imagine it was a chaotic environment, and furthermore the ICE isn't like regular police. Regular police tend to know the few bad apples in their jurisdiction but ICE is like federal level, they encounter a lot of people everyday, I don't know how they could have been familiar with Pretti and knew about his aggressive history.

The left has lost the narrative that this guy was a saint.

 

[Nobody911]

It likely affects the 2026 midterms, though impact will vary by district and party. Concise effects analysts expect:

• Mobilization: Increases turnout among Democrats, independents and civil‑rights voters motivated by policing and government‑accountability issues.
• Republican risk/benefit split: May hurt Republicans where they’re linked to or supportive of aggressive immigration enforcement; in some GOP districts it could energize voters prioritizing law‑and‑order or tough immigration stances.
• Candidate messaging: Democrats will use the case to press for oversight, independent investigations, and ICE reform; Republicans will either defend enforcement actions or distance themselves if local backlash is strong.
• Swing voters & suburbs: Might tilt toward Democrats where footage and lack of transparency raise concerns — suburban and independent voters are most persuadable.
• Policy agenda shift: Raises prominence of immigration enforcement, government accountability, and policing reforms as campaign issues — may force candidates to take clearer positions.
• Polling/short‑term effects: Expect short‑term polling bumps for Democrats on issues of trust and oversight; long‑term electoral impact depends on whether the story sustains news attention and whether concrete investigations or reforms follow.

No they haven't, because only the slimiest bootlickers in America are pretending to clutch their pearls over a taillight.
