lonejustice ने कहा…: Here's a little factoid to consider. I was a criminal prosecutor for 20 years, with the authority to bring criminal charges against someone and potentially send them to prison for a long, long time. I had to go through 7 years of collegiate education and law school before I could do this. I had to have two semesters of Constitutional Law classes with Professors like Althouse, and two semesters of Criminal Law.
In contrast, as of January 2026, ICE officer training has been reduced to an approximately 8-week (42 to 56 days) program. This 42 days of training allows them to shoot someone in the face for protesting, and grants them total immunity for killing that person.

Moreso, did the term "proximate cause" ever enter your curriculum? Were you asleep or was your education so lax? And be careful saying "Professors like Althouse". I think she would grade your attempt at analyzing the case an 'F'.; 24/1/26, 5:45 pm

If states like Minnesota simply followed federal law like most other states then none of this would be occurring.

Frankly, I am beyond tired of the arsonists demanding that the fire department responds more to their liking.

With your great education, experience and intellect, in what other manner should federal law be effectively and completely enforced that is ‘un-fucked’?

Please be specific — and allowing federal law to be ignored or slow-walked is NOT an acceptable answer, unless your pose is dishonest at its core.

The #1 Amazon best seller is The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration As a Weapon. Author is Peter Schweizer.
“Mass migration has morphed into the most powerful political weapon ever aimed at the United States—one engineered by elites at home and aided by adversaries abroad. Now Peter Schweizer, the bestselling investigative journalist of our time, is blowing the lid off this whole series of schemes.”
The book went to #1 the day before its release date (Jan 20) and has stayed on that spot.
The message is getting through. Congrats to Schweizer.; 24/1/26, 6:10 pm
lonejustice ने कहा…: Meade said...
@Lonejustice: did your law school education include distinguishing between “qualified immunity” and “absolute immunity”?
+++ Yes it did, and you can discuss this with your beautiful Constitutional Law Professor Wife. Trump is claiming absolute immunity of a woefully untrained ICE agent from shooting a protestor in the face and killing her.

Vice President JD Vance’s claim Thursday that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis is “protected by absolute immunity” drew immediate pushback from experts who said the legal landscape around a potential prosecution is far more complicated.

Speaking at the White House, Vance appeared to try to stymie any efforts by Minnesota prosecutors to pursue a criminal case against the agent.

“The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action – that’s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job,” Vance said, echoing others in the Trump administration. “I’ve never seen anything like that. It would get tossed out by a judge.”
-----------
So yes, Trump's criminal division of the Department of Justice is saying that if an ICE agent shoots a protestor in the face and kills them, then they have absolute immunity for killing that protestor.; 24/1/26, 6:10 pm

An engineer would drill ice cores and measure their thickness and compressive strength, and then assume the ice is an unfractured beam model and do a calculation. But humans rely on experience, the old guys know that on a certain lake so many days below freezing is going to be ok, unless you go over to the shoal that always has thin ice, where Timmy drowned 15 years ago.; 24/1/26, 6:17 pm

1. Pretti engaged in obstructive behavior.
2. Pretti committed a felony assault against a federal officer while armed.
3. Pretti resisted arrest while armed.
4. The fact that Pretti had a gun was revealed to all Officers there.

So a person for whom there was PC he had committed a violent felony, was resisting arrest, and was armed with a firearm were among the totality of circumstances known to the Officer at the time he used deadly force.

Use of deadly force policy does not require the Officers to wait until they are attacked. - Shipwreckedcrew; 24/1/26, 6:27 pm

The country voted against that. They brought guns. We had to kill them. We had to suspend Habeaus Corpus. We had to sick the military on them. We had to kill 600,000 Democrats. They murdered our President in retaliation.

This is NO DIFFERENT. The Democrat Party is a CRIMINAL organization and we need to outlaw it the way the US outlawed the Nazi Party in Germany after World War II was over.; 24/1/26, 6:32 pm

If states like Minnesota simply followed federal law like most other states then none of this would be occurring.

I saw today that about 29% of ICE arrests take place in TX, about 3% in MN. Yet- no problems in TX. If you try to create violence- as the state government in MN is doing, you get violence. They're in a state of rebellion. Period.

If my source is correct, there will be some really bad news- for Democrats- coming out of MN shortly. Waiting on secondary confirmation before commenting on it.; 24/1/26, 6:32 pm

Kakistocracy ने कहा…: Federal government to open investigation into another person they just murdered.

Looking at the new video available, one of the Agents clearly takes the gun away (and runs away behind a row of cars). This takes places just before the first shot is fired from the Agents.

While beating Alex Jeffrey Pretti senseless they take away the gun he never brandished (you can see the one ICE agent running away with it) then shot him multiple times while he lay on his back, prone and defenseless. What everyone predicted would happen with Trump’s egregious actions in Minneapolis has come to fruition.

By now DHS has to have learned that video of the shooting has emerged. Hopefully, they care about being caught in a lie -- but maybe they don't care.

I knew the Trump administration was gutting the VA. Never thought they'd do it one Registered Nurse at a time.; 24/1/26, 6:38 pm

Andrew ने कहा…: I know it’s a cliche, but we are clearly two separate countries now.

As Scott Adams (RIP) famously said, “two movie, one screen.”

I look at Minneapolis, and think that the person who was shot today completely deserved it, and that the Insurrection Act is long overdue. I’m not happy that anyone gets shot, but what the hell do you expect if you’re interfering with federal officers carrying out their law enforcement duties?

Needless to say, not everyone sees it that way.

I’d be happy if every single protestor in Minneapolis interfering with law enforcement, and every single treasonous government official from Walz and Frey on down, were sent to Guantanamo Bay. I actually think the Constitution requires it. That’s the moderate position. The Founders would have executed these people by now.

I despair that a third to a half, maybe more, of my country doesn’t see it that way.; 24/1/26, 6:42 pm

Minnesota is holding 1360 illegals with detainers from ICE. In most states that means that the illegals would be safely handed over to ICE in prison when their sentence is over. In Minnesota that means 1360 potential riots with possible fatal consequences.

We can all see the gun, it’s in the agent’s hand before the first shot was fired. DHS release of a photograph of the gun has incriminated them. Kinda destroys the narrative that Alex Pretti pulled it and/or had fired it.; 24/1/26, 7:08 pm

It is a utopia where authority has conquered the field and no opposition remains. Like Victorian England London has captured the county.

Remember when the Pennsylvania Distillers tried to fight George Washington? Remember when Utah tried to have a religious state imbedded in a Federal Nation? Those attempts were met with constitutional power. States are the laboratories of democracy, but they don’t have anti federal powers, as asserted during the civil war.

You can protest. But boxing in officers & risking deadly force isn’t protest. It’s a crime."

Jaq ने कहा…: The pond began to boom about an hour after sunrise, when it felt the influence of the sun’s rays slanted upon it from over the hills; it stretched itself and yawned like a waking man with a gradually increasing tumult, which was kept up three or four hours. It took a short siesta at noon, and boomed once more toward night, as the sun was withdrawing his influence. In the right stage of the weather a pond fires its evening gun with great regularity. But in the middle of the day, being full of cracks, and the air also being less elastic, it had completely lost its resonance, and probably fishes and muskrats could not then have been stunned by a blow on it. The fishermen say that the “thundering of the pond” scares the fishes and prevents their biting. The pond does not thunder every evening, and I cannot tell surely when to expect its thundering; but though I may perceive no difference in the weather, it does. Who would have suspected so large and cold and thick-skinned a thing to be so sensitive? Yet it has its law to which it thunders obedience when it should as surely as the buds expand in the spring. —Walden, Henry David Thoreau; 24/1/26, 8:35 pm

Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

Pretti Attended a protest armed. Then he stood in the middle of the street blocking traffic. Then he assaulted another person. Then he resisted arrest.

If you have a gun and 2 extra mags on your belt you don't reach for anything in your pants while you are being arrested. He had 2 extra mags on him. The officers saw his gun and his mags and they saw him reaching.

Gospace ने कहा…: I see a lot of people saying "But he was a licensed concealed carrier under MN law!". As if that were relevant. It sort of is- as a concealed carrier he was supposed to know the rules for concealed carry. In MN one of those rules is you must carry an official ID with you. He didn't have one on his person. So he wasn't carrying legally under MN law. Second requirement- must have concealed carry permit with him. Oops, didn't have that either. Wasn't carrying legally. And- you must be obeying the law to be carrying legally. Obstructing traffic isn't legal. And is not "peacefully assembling", protected by the Constitution. Strike 3.

Did he deserve to die? Don't care to debate the question- he died and it was his fault. Deserve doesn't matter. Someone yelled "Gun!" and law enforcement officers stepped back if they couldn't see it and didn't have their own weapons already out- as they are TRAINED TO DO. This opens the the target (for at that point that's what he was- a target) up for other officers to get a clear shot. If he had not been carrying unlawfully according to MN law, he's be alive.

Makes me wonder how he passed a background check for VA employment. Voxday is a great believer in physiognomy, me, not so much. But sometimes we all have to admit you see a picture of someone, or see someone on the street, and you know instinctively to avoid that person. And his pic shows someone to be avoided. https://x.com/patriottakes/status/2015162497444024412/photo/1; 24/1/26, 9:52 pm
Yancey Ward ने कहा…: "Pretti did not initiate the confrontation."

This is a lie, Kakabich- if you watch the videos, he pretty clearly tries to prevent one of the agents from arresting someone else- this is the literal definition of initiating a confrontation since he has literally no legal right to intervene in that situation.

As for the shooting- Simulation Commander on substack makes a compelling case that the agent who removed Pretti's gun had it accidentally fire into the ground- in some stills he makes the case you see the discharge of the round and the casing- it is, in fact, the first of the shots fired. In other words, an accident but one initiated by Pretti himself. If this was an accident, it is case closed.; 24/1/26, 10:38 pm

It doesn’t matter where the judges were. What matters is what evidence is brought to them. What you’re describing is the same bullshit rhetoric and propaganda the Trump regime grooms the Basket with. I can go into detail to back that up but simply put, it never happened.

It parallels with the Minnesota ordeal today as it was all built on a lie, a lie that hardened outsider criminals were terrorizing American neighborhoods and Trump was the only hero that could protect you.

It's amazing to me how these people think that they can blow whistles, which are intended to disrupt thinking, the protesters don't care, because it's not their role to think.

For one thing, you can look at video frame by frame, but in real life? It takes almost a quarter of a second for a human being to assemble the image of reality out of their sensory input, for their brain to assemble the images coming from their visual cortex and the impulses coming from their ears into a perception of reality. Everything you see happened about 200 milliseconds before, your brain is not instantaneous, it relies on physical and chemical processes to process information.

Magicians make their living this way. So any frame by frame analysis of an event that is examine a persons reaction to that event must take into account that human beings require time to process sensory input. Add to that that the protesters were blowing whistles in order to create disorientation, and guess what, this is what you get.

The left is trying to make martyrs. Pieces of shit like Chuck want people to die so they can be wielded as political weapons to keep illegal aliens in the country.

It is critical that people understand this. Renee Good was just their first attempt. Now they have a gun wielding "peaceful" protestor who had a gun, 2 mags, and was resisting arrest.

Now Chuck has what Democrats need. They have an excuse to not make an argument why he is trying to break federal law and keep illegal aliens in the country.

There is no reason for a person to go to Minnesota with a gun and blow a whistle and interfere with ICE other than to create a situation like this.

Videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday morning.
The Department of Homeland Security said the episode began after a man “approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun” and they tried to disarm him. The statement did not specify whether the gun was in the man’s hands or merely on his body.

Footage shows Mr. Pretti was clearly holding a phone, not a gun, before the agents took him to the ground and shot him.

This is what the videos show, according to a Times analysis:
A small group of protesters stands in the street, speaking to a federal agent as whistles sound. Mr. Pretti appears to be filming the scene with his phone and directing traffic.

An agent begins shoving the demonstrators, and squirts pepper spray at their faces.
At this moment, Mr. Pretti has both hands clearly visible. One is holding his phone, while he holds the other up to protect himself from pepper spray. He moves to help one of the protesters who was sprayed, as other agents approach and pull him from behind.
Several agents tussle with Mr. Pretti before bringing him to his knees. He appears to resist as the agents grab his legs, push down on his back and strike him repeatedly.
The footage shows an agent approaching with empty hands and grabbing at Mr. Pretti as the others hold him down.
About eight seconds after he is pinned, agents yell that he has a gun, indicating that they may not have known he was armed until he was on the ground.

The same agent who approached with empty hands pulls a gun from among the group that appears to match the profile of a firearm DHS said belonged to Mr. Pretti.
The agents appear to have him under their control, with his arms pinned near his head.
As the gun emerges from the melee, another agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range. He then appears to continue firing at Mr. Pretti, who collapses.
A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless.
In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.; 25/1/26, 8:40 am

Here we go. If we want illegal aliens deported we are NAZIs now.

There will be no peace with these people. They are evil people with pure bad intentions.

They tried to make Renee Good a martyr and failed. Now they are trying to use Pretti as a martyr. They will keep getting people killed until they get a martyr and they can keep their illegal alien slaves here.

The 1860 Democrat slave holders were more human than this piece of crap.

This sock puppet is an evil person who wants people to die so he can use them as a bloody shirt.; 25/1/26, 8:48 am

Again, I have no desired outcome in this case, but I do have a few preferences: that people don’t get shot, that elected officials don’t encourage interference with law enforcement officers, that protestors remain several yards away from those officers, and that cities and states cooperate with ICE.; 25/1/26, 8:48 am

Beast, I think you do but in fairness, perhaps I should have said “obviously”.

The only people who wanted Pretti to get shot in here are you and the other democrat pieces of shit like Rich and Inga.

You lost the argument and the election on illegal immigration and now you want to keep your slaves.

You assholes hate elections and now you are rebelling against what this country was founded on. You people are worse than the confederates in 1860.; 25/1/26, 9:00 am

Kakistocracy ने कहा…: Every camera angle shows the same thing: a pure, vicious, and unjustified execution.

Constitutional carry guarantees that the citizenry can far out-arm ICE personnel. There's a huge difference between simply carrying a weapon and brandishing one.

No evidence thus far shows that the victim was brandishing a weapon.

Heads should roll within ICE. The senators are justified in wanting to pull ICE funding out of the upcoming legislation and vote on it separately.

Why isn't the whole country in an uproar over this? I thought this was exactly what the Second Amendment was meant to protect against.

It turns out some gun owners are more equal than others. Is anyone really surprised?; 25/1/26, 9:13 am
