OF COURSE that’s what happened. Unless you really believe a man, being filmed by dozens, just decided to shoot someone in the head. (Apparently Gandler does!). These ‘cops’ are like you and me n more ways than you want to believe. They go to work everyday hoping to go home alive to their wife and kids. And not be in the news or possibly facing a life sentence in prison.

The guy who pulled the trigger misinterpreted the situation around him egregiously. Even if someone yelled ‘gun’ that doesn’t absolve you from using at least some judgment before killing someone. Will he be found criminally liable? I think so. Time will tell.


Gandler does believe the agent decided to shoot him, and all reports from both side indicate this. Unless you are now contending that he accidentally discharged 11-13 rounds into him?

So, yes he did decide to do this, the issue at hand was whether the decision was both rational and ethical. I would say the answer is empirically no on both fronts.

Viewed in the most favorable light, the best the shooter can hope for is that he "assumed" the deceased was posing a deadly threat when / if a fellow goon yelled "gun."

As for the subject of gallows humor: it occurs to me that Minneapolis has had some "Pretti Good" shootings recently.

I think Netflix already already tried Jesus or going to:


Rewriting history is what the left is about.

They're naturally delusional and don't even know what a woman is [or brave enough to speak-up].


Don't believe any history by a DEI college professor nor any DEI MSM news, even if released yesterday.

If history is from a conservative, consider believing it if not from a Rino and not regurgitated from the left.


It's OK to read the fake revisions of history to know what anti-Americans think, but know they're fake.

Shakespeare Was A Black Jewish Woman – Claims Feminist Historian

JAN 27, 2026

We know, with certainty, that William Shakespeare wasn’t even slightly a woman, or black. He was a white bloke from [Warwickshire], of yeoman stock. You might as well try to argue that the sun was, in fact, cold. Why does this madness continue?

'Alex Pretti's killing was recorded on body-camera videos, DHS says' - NBC

It's definitely the rightwing that argues day in day out gunowners should be able to carry almost anywhere based on their own judgment. Blame your own side.

WTF
Can't US Olympic security read the room and leave these guys home
Unbelievable
ICE is the most hated group on the planet
The videos of Alex Pretti getting executed by ICE is a worldwide viral video
Not just the US
WORLDWIDE
No doubt some guy in Outer Mongolia watched it
Who am I kidding
Everybody in outer Mongolia probably watched it

No doubt this is used as a free Italian vacation for ICE


Sorry. Hit submit and nothing happened so I hit submit again and again. Sorry

Ed is so hyper over this he's not even looking to see if his posts are showing the image

According to AP article below, the ICE personnel are upper level officers, "frequently" used, who do not do the police work: "there was no indication ERO officers were being sent to Italy" ... ERO indicating the interacting-with-public policeman types... "Enforcement and Removal Operations" personnel

The usual suspects decided to get the Italians, and Ed, worked up

We need to reform immigration detention.


What the democRATS forgot to tell everyone is that she died while Bidumb was president
