New: CBP Shoots and Kills Man in MN

Why on earth was he armed when confronting law enforcement?... if he left his gun at home he would be home with it today...

I have no idea why he was armed and have consistently asked people to more closely consider their actions and objectives in attempts to avoid further unnecessary endangerment of themselves and others.

Protesting is fine, being upset about some conditions is warranted, but doing stupid shit can get you killed.

He may as well have left it home because when he was murdered he didn't have a weapon on his person and had never held it at any time one of the ICE thugs had already taken it from him.

It was a mistake for the CBP to have shot him.

And mistakes happen, especially when things are volatile.

I wish people could understand that we do not live in a perfect world with rewind and the chance to do everything over again.
At some point we are all responsible for some of what happens to us, and making better choices will certainly go further towards ensuring our survival.
 
You avoided the question.
Try again.
What threat do you suppose he saw which made him decide to carry a gun for his protection?
I don't know if he saw a threat or not, but as you know people in that State carry guns which i think is crazy by the way but it aint against the law.
 
Why does anyone in Minisota or any US State for that matter carry a Gun which is a regular occurrence in America by all accounts?

How have millions of people carrying firearms quite often never managed to get shot by cops in the process?
I can tell you why I haven't been shot by the cops while carrying a firearm.

I don't know how many have been shot but we know plenty of unarmed members of the public have or beaten to death.

Yet everyone is scolding Pretti for making a mistake that cost him his life, none of you are scolding the federal agent that made a mistake that cost Pretti's life.
Just an interesting thought.
 
Just the ones ramming their with cars and trying to obstruct their investigations and operations, liie we saw yesterday morning when an armed terrorist decided he’d be Rambo and try and break up an arrest
He wasn't breaking up an arrest. Being kindhearted, Pretti couldn't help but assist the woman who was violently shoved by the agent. It was obviously just something he had to do and help the woman.

“Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact,” the statement continued.

Pretti did make mistakes, and quite a few at that, and I am not going to ignore those and pretend they didn't happen.

However, I could tell you a few things he could have done that may have prevented the whole incident from happening, and I am not suggesting that has to include not leaving the house, not protesting, or not carrying a firearm.

Regrettably though, they aren't going to happen either, he will still be dead, as well as that is a fact and not just a thought.
