Video footage shows the man killed by ICE in Minneapolis Alex Pretti violently kicking Federal ICE Officer vehicles and screaming obscenities at them

This is not a man “peacefully observing”

This is a violent agitator.

Yes, he's good. Black people suffer the most in lower wages and higher rents from competition with criminal aliens.

Could he be AI?

ICE is launching a DATABASE on these insurrectionist clowns stalking & attacking ICE, full names, faces, the works and they’re gonna CONTACT THEIR EMPLOYERS

This is a violent agitator.

Attorney and self-defense expert Andrew Branca says the shooting of Alex Pretti was justified, lays out reasons why.

- "The moment he makes contact with that officer, he's just committed a federal felony good for eight years in a federal penitentiary."

- "That's why they were seeking to make his arrest because they saw him commit a forcible felony against a fellow officer."

- "Then he's noncompliant with arrest. He's fighting them. Then they discover he has a gun..."

- "They take that gun. There are cries of 'gun, gun, gun.' The officers called to each other. He's still noncompliant. They hear a gunshot go off. And Alex Pretty's right hand comes from his waistline with a black object in his hand."

- "That combination of facts is going to get you shot 999 times out of a thousand by law enforcement, and justifiably so."

"They're making all these perceptions, all these decisions in a violent, chaotic melee caused by Alex Pretti."

"They have to make all these decisions in a split second because that's how quickly someone can use a weapon against you, and those decisions."

"They don't have to be correct. The law of self-defense does not require us to make perfect decisions..."

“More than a week before federal agents killed Mr. Pretti, a Minneapolis nurse, different agents pushed him to the ground after he spit at them and broke a taillight on their S.U.V.” Well. Technically, as you can easily see in the video, Pretti kicked out the taillight, shattering it into tiny plastic pieces.

After agents stopped the SUV, jumped out, and restrained Pretti, who resisted, the videos clearly show Pretti was armed then too:




I don’t know about you, but chasing federal SUVs, spitting on them, and attacking their taillights while carrying a loaded pistol seems like a good way to start a very bad day. We learned from yesterday’s reports that Pretti’s rib was broken in the tangle. Eleven days later, he was back out on the streets, picking fights with agents, and tragically, he was killed. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Speaking as a lawyer, for anyone who needs to hear this: don’t pick fights with cops while carrying. Actually, you might want to avoid picking any fights with tense, armed cops. You probably shouldn’t curse them and spit on them either. My goodness. If you are craving an adrenaline rush, why not try something a little bit safer, like climbing skyscrapers without a harness, free diving with great whites, or signing your kids up at a Somali daycare center?

As always, the timing is curious. One day after the story breaks about Pretti attacking the SUV and getting his rib broken a week before the shooting, Democrat leadership tells the rank-and-file to stay away.

In 2020, corporate media refused to run any stories critical of George Floyd. But this time, the news of Pretti’s obvious mental illness is flooding out. One can feel the ground shifting beneath the narrative.

Mass illegal immigration serves two clear purposes for the party. They use it to boost census numbers so they can create more congressional districts and takeover existing ones. Also, the illegals are marshaled to provide votes for the party, one way or another. The millions let in under “Joe Biden” received lavish gifts on entry (courtesy of you) to cement their allegiance to the party. And that’s why the Democratic Party will do just about anything to prevent the deportation of their pet illegal immigrants. Also why the Dems have no interest in election reform.

I have infiltrated organizational signal groups all around Minneapolis with the sole intention of tracking down federal agents and impeding/assaulting/and obstructing them. ...

A new group chat for each zone is made each day. The chats are dated, and deleted at the end of each day.

This is likely to avoid detection, record keeping, and consequences.

My mid-day, the group chats hit maximum capacity (1,000 people) allowed by signal and people who are not chasing federal agents are asked to leave to create room for those who are.

The dispatch calls also reach maximum capacity constantly. I believe it’s 50 people maximum. Which means, at any given time in each small zone, there are 50 people chasing agents.

Chaps, there's a reason these demonstrators are using whistles, horns, and making so much noise in all the video clips you are watching.

They don't do these when protesting climate change or LGBTQ rights.

Those sudden, impulsive noises trigger the acoustic startle response. It's a rapid, involuntary reaction mediated by the brainstem, involving muscle tension, elevated heart rate, and adrenaline release.

That repetitive exposure from them fatigues neural pathways but sustains heightened arousal, diverting cognitive resources from higher-order tasks to basic threat monitoring.

It is an acute stressor, activating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and sympathetic nervous system, which releases cortisol and adrenaline.

Long exposure to this stuff impairs prefrontal cortex function critical for decision making.

Pair this with the sheer annoyance, these tactics are a low-tech escalation of protest disruption, rooted in documented physiological responses to noise.

In layman's terms, they're putting these officers on edge and triggering them to act. Pretti and Good was exactly what they wanted. It's usually someone else who ends up dying and not the instigator.

This is a great example.

Watch the guy at the rear strike an officer against the head with an object. These officers, already on edge, are very likely to react to something like that. When someone ends up getting hurt, they're all innocent.

These events aren't random.

These are organised tactics. 80% of the people protesting aren't aware that they're being used by their own team as cannon fodder to generate outrage.

They need a black martyr in Minneapolis, but good luck getting any sensible
black to go out in -10° weather to fight cops on behalf of a Guatemalan sex
offender.

there appears to be a great deal of denial and projection about this, a sort of “redshift” where those moving rapidly left assume they are the ones standing still and the more radicalized they become, the more they must believe that everyone else is going “far right” in order to explain the gaps they see opening up.

“it’s not me, it’s you” is a common psychological and political viewpoint and one whose expression seems to have intensified of late.




now consider how this huge bolus and weight of fake history, fake present, and misapprehended movement across a political spectrum plays in those we have so often discussed here as “the people who ARE their ideas as opposed to being people who have their ideas.”

they have forged externally validated identities on patterns of facts and assumptions about how the world was and is that cannot find consonance with reality, and as more and more folks defect from this world view, it gets harder and harder to find ways to tell yourself that you are not seeing what you’re seeing.

the deep need to “know what is not so” becomes a rising rage forged in the burning wires of cognitive dissonance trying to protect an ideological identity whose revision feels like erasure and death.

and people under pressures like that will believe wild things to protect their world views. ...

they have become so accustomed to being the center of the universe, the center of debate and attention in their chosen echo chambers that merely to hear others speak of normal things outside of the splash zone of political and ideological obsession becomes upsetting.

we saw so much of this during the times covidian.

you cannot have “normal” when your identity is in crisis. ...

and we have some really unhealthy folks out there.

and as the group around these people who are accepting or even tolerant of their worldviews and monomanias grows ever smaller amidst the breakage of the cancel culture that allowed these views to rage unchecked and unchallenged, some will wake up, but the far fringe, the really ill and ill-formed, will self-immolate in rage.

there will, over the coming months be a vast amount of information surfacing about fraud, elections, manipulation, and a whole ream of the “cherished history” of this tribe that will be overturned.

i'm not sure there is, at this point, really much that can be done to head off the impending melt down and freak out festival to come, but at least understanding why it’s happening can help with navigation.

it will punch itself out. this cannot long survive without engagement, attention, and validation. “convincing” is not a path to success. once one ceases to feed to trolls, they’ll move on.

Also nuking reality for the left: Antifa/Vanilla ISIS's central command and control system was broken into and disabled. And separately, a complete list of names, addresses, and phone numbers of contributors to StopICE.net (which tracks suspected ICE vehicles) was exfil'd and sent to the FBI, DHS, ICE, and selected X users. StopICE.net itself was hacked to show meme pictures of Tom Homan and send text messages to all users telling them the FBI was on the way to their house. (The owner has since repaired the site but they're apparently so incompetent that it's become a running battle over who's controlling the thing).

Reddit is absolutely melting down about this. One user there said she was going to stop wearing her nose ring "to try and blend in", which is either a masterful troll or the least self-aware post in the history of social media.
