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

[DigitalDrifter]

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

Screaming, spitting, violent agitator. He didn't deserve to die, but he was the one who chose to raise hell in the streets. The left has ZERO respect for the outcome of the 2024 election.

Dude was a loose cannon, it's unfortunate he died but if he'd behaved he'd still be alive.

Life is full of choices and decisions and he made poor ones

Irrelevant to the events of last Saturday.

You are behaving as programmed.

"Behaved", meaning, do not dare to film CBP agents.

Polish those boots.

Good girl.

Is filming all he did though? If he really spat on an LE officer then that is literally assault.

What? I thought they were the DEFENDERS of democracy! You know: the peaceful transfer of power. Thing is, once that power is peacefully transferred, they then do everything humanly possible to see to it that the GOP can't use it.

And the GOP continually allow themselves to be cast in the light of the bad guy. Democrats come out angry and incenced as a great wrong has been done while time and again, republicans get up there like a deer in the headlights in a perpetual defensive position.

Frankly I'm a little surprised that ICE doesn't have at least one 300,000 volt stun gun or a pulse-wave myotron to immobilize attackers with rather than brawling with them and ultimately needing to shoot people to stop apparent threats.

No doesn't mean he deserved to die. Does mean media not telling the whole story. Not some random bystander looking to help illegal, criminal element immigrants. What we got here is a Crusader.

He was a violent lunatic terrorist who punched his own ticket.

No loss.

 

[munkle]

Just speaking for myself I wouldn't tangle it up fully armed with a bunch of nervous cops with guns. But I guess that's just me.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

AI is capturing everyone their.

When AI dreams, it imagines itself here in hell by my side punishing those who rejected the light. No joke.

Democrats = traitors

Indeed, The idea of carrying a CCW is not to fight police but if necessary assist and allowed. The other reason is obvious protecting you're family and yourself from attacks from criminals.
A.I. says:
Based on reports from the last five years, there have been several instances where civilians with concealed carry weapons (CCW) or legally armed citizens have assisted, protected, or saved law enforcement officers (LEO) during violent encounters.

• Cicero, Illinois (September 2018/2019 noted in 2023): A CCW holder intervened when a suspect fired on a Cicero police officer, engaging in a gunfight with the offender and allowing the officer to receive aid, which was praised by police leadership.
• Houston, Texas (December 2023): A man was hailed as a hero for assisting in a shootout to save a police officer, with the incident highlighted as a case of a citizen helping law enforcement.
• Arizona (June 2022/January 2017 - featured in recent reports): An armed, passing driver shot and killed an attacker who had ambushed and wounded an Arizona State Trooper, stopping the assault and potentially saving the trooper's life.
• Atlanta, Georgia (July 2025): A citizen assisted an officer in subduing an armed suspect who had gained control of the officer's weapon.
• Oklahoma (Reported in 2022/2023): An armed citizen was recognized for helping to save a wounded Oklahoma Highway Patrol officer.
• General Context (2025 Study): A 2025 Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) study indicated that in 180 active shooter cases studied, there were instances where armed citizens intervened, and in 58 cases, a mass public shooting was likely prevented.

Key Findings on Civilian Assistance

• More Active Shooters Stopped: A 2025 study showed that concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5% of active shootings, compared to 44.6% stopped by police in non-gun-free zones between 2014 and 2023.
• Rare Negative Incidents: In a review of 180 active shooting cases, only 0.56% involved a permit holder accidentally shooting a bystander or having their handgun taken away.

Here's the other side.

Those ICE agents didn't like him, and wanted to kill him to get rid of him.

Because that's exactly what it looked like.

 

[petro]

I already have Pretti Good fatigue.

Just don't give a **** about these morons.
FAFO.

Assuming that footage is legit, (to me it looks a bit theatrical, like something you'd see in a TV show) it DOES bring the possibility that it was revenge...if they knew who he was. Premeditated, as opposed to a heat of the moment thing.

Yeah, but we don't know the mental state Pretti was in. He's doing these protests and perhaps he's lost his mind a bit. Difficult to know in this day and age.

But still, federal police or other agencies should be doing their jobs properly. If Pretti was a problem, arrest him.

Yes, why wasn't he arrested on January 13 for kicking out the taillight? I agree that anyone doing anything illegal should be arrested. Not executed.

Yeah, if ICE did things properly, it wouldn't have been an issue.

Even further back than this, if Trump hadn't have bigged up ICE, hadn't told everyone where they were going, didn't have huge campaigns in Democrat cities, it probably wouldn't have come to this either. Trump made it like this.

I think it goes beyond Trump. I've said this before, but I'll say it again... In my view, this whole thing is about instigating civil unrest, chaos, and practically a civil war....to then have an excuse for rolling out authoritarian WEF agendas. The powers-that-be who control both sides have been using the illegal immigration problem (which they created) as a pretext for their agendas and moving us toward a technocratic police state. Similar to how the "climate change" lie is used to bring about globalist WEF agendas.

The problem is that too many people (at least on this site) are still deeply stuck in the false right/ left paradigm. It's not right vs left, it's the globalist elites vs all of us, regardless of party.

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.

It's amazing what happens when the rest of the story comes out. Media propaganda crushed.
