Manny, you’re not analyzing facts, you’re building a narrative that justifies the outcome. ‘Agitating, impeding, assault, resisting, instigating’ are conclusions, not evidence. And since I apparently need to ask again, why was ‘touching LEOs’ on J6 something you have consistently defended, but here you’re comfortable declaring assault and intent from clips and press lines? 

Also, this constant vague ‘they’ you use, who exactly is ‘they’? Because it reads less like analysis and more like a placeholder for whoever you need to blame in the moment.

He did interfere. That instigated the response. The cause & effect are becoming pretty well defined…

About  cause…

From the Daily Mail…today: 

Alex Pretti had been injured in a scuffle with federal agents in Minneapolis just one week before he was shot dead, it has emerged.

Pretti, 37, was left with a broken rib after being tackled by a group of officers during a protest against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, a source told CNN.

The alleged assault occurred after Pretti stopped his car after seeing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers chasing a family on foot, the insider said.

Then, as I’ve refereed to and as we know…

He showed up a week later…ARMED…and interfered PLAIN AS DAY & ON CAMERA…AGAIN…ARMED…

And -AGAIN- he got taken down FOR INTERFERING WTH A FEDERAL ARREST OPERATION…&…on camera…SHOVING A FEDERAL OFFICER…Kev, that’s called “Assaulting an Officer”…just to restate the obvious…

Again…

He does the very same shit…a week later…and now…? He’s got a gun.

Interfering 

Instigating

Taken-down and clearly RESISITING…with a fucking gun…

And it evolves into an absolute clusterfuck. It’s clear, to me, he brought this shit on himself by injecting himself via aggression towards a FEDERAL OFFICER.

All the while, this doesn’t “justify” his death. Never said it. Never implied it. All I’ve ever said is the end result is tragic and fucking sad.

While we’re here, you telling me I’m justifying this man’s death is weak. It earns you a “go fuck yourself” based on basic man law. We’ve been here, before. You still don’t get it. 

Cause & Effect. Period.

Here…

Cause and effect refers to the relationship between an action (the cause) and its result (the effect). It explains how one event leads to another, illustrating the direct consequences of actions or events.

With respect,

Manny

Manny, this “cause & effect” sermon would land a lot better if you applied it consistently. 

On J6, people touching, pushing, and obstructing LEOs suddenly deserved 'nuance', 'context', and a lot of justifying the actions of the folks who were actually assaulting officers.  Here, you’re instantly comfortable declaring assault, intent, resistance, and causality as settled facts, no nuance, no restraint, no skepticism. Same behavior, different politics, different standards. That’s not principle, that’s selective framing dressed up as 'reason'.

And you don't have to add a faux 'with respect'.  You've made it clear with your claim of my 'dishonesty' that you have no respect for me, so why would you even try to pretend that? 

Well, y’all have been busy today. 22-23 pages? Damn!

Then there’s the Apldude…

Dude, my post was about YOU telling me I’d justified the tragic death that this thread is about. You love misrepresenting what others are throwing down..:and it’s an ongoing habit of yours that’s simply pathetic. But, ya know what? You do you. 

As for your need to tell me ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR FAILS about J6 and whether or not I felt it was/is “Identical Cause & Effect”… versus what we have here? Nice try. The Cause & Effect are identical….all the way down to the actions of  LEOs causing unnecessary death. 

Here’s what my position was in January 2021…

Our political leaders did NOTHING about the “Mostly Peaceful” riots and destruction that had been going down in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis…etc., etc., etc. 

But, all of a sudden they’re gonna do something about one of these “Mostly Peaceful” shit shows now that it’s come to The Capital? Oh, ok.

Also, from St Louis to Seattle, Portland to Los Angeles, Chicago to Minneapolis…the left rioted, burned shit down, destroyed neighborhoods and even killed people during their “Mostly Peaceful” shit storms and NOTHING was done about it…

But, that sure as hell ain’t how they handled J6. That was my comparison and still is.

No worries. You go on and continue to tell others what they’re thinking & misrepresenting their positions. It’s what you do. That’s how you got The Man Law declaration. Huh? You know…”Man Card”…that’s actually lost on you. 🤣

I’m jus’ sayin’…

Are you inferring the Donfather is at the helm of said color revolution? Or that the current regime has prompted citizens to stand up more and more, building momentum towards a color revolution against Donny and the old guard?

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/minnesota-is-the-beginning-of-an

Or maybe the Donfather is the way he is to burn the whole corrupt system of US Government to the ground, allowing a fresh start? 

I think most of us can agree that the system in this country has been working against regular citizens for decades now. I will say the Donfather has done an excellent job bringing politics to mainstream awareness, and even if he is a bad actor himself, this is ultimately a good thing.

EDIT - I bet Donny took what he learned during the Pandemic and thought people would bend over more at his desire. Comply or die, easy enough. Unfortunately for him, Americans are proving to be a stubborn bunch.

That’s awesome. Misfit meows like a cat when he wants peanuts. Took a full summer meowing at him like a jackass before he finally started doing it in his own. My neighbors trip out thinking there’s a cat way up in the tree. Asking me, do you hear that cat up there? Uhhh yeah I do actually and, laugh knowing it’s Misfit. I’ll let them keep assuming it’s a cat. 

Last weekend, I helped my son take the shell off his truck. While carrying it, I slipped in some mud. Down to the ground I went. Next thing I hear Misfit cawing. Then dive bombing and, attacking my son. I guess Misfit blamed my slip on my son 😂 


I have him, his chick Wednesday and, one of their fledglings they had last year coming around routinely. 

Then there’s Casper the squirrel but, that’s another story lol.

This is awesome. Crows are smart bastards.

Do they bring you gifts @ToolMaker ? I remember reading they do this somewhere.

I caught my dog with a still living crow in his mouth a couple months back. I think he was already damaged goods as there was a group of crows observing the altercation from above.

Again, the problem are the laws on the book as you agree. The bipartisan immigration reform bill that was killed because of Trump would have tackled all of these issues including putting a cap on how many people are allowed to ask for asylum and a threshold where if passed then now asylum seekers would be allowed in and be given asylum.

Edit: TPS can be used for environmental disasters. It's all completely legal. It's not legal for asylum. TPS stands for TEMPORARY protected status. Asylum is an indefinite status.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — A web of encrypted chats and databases show that protesters were mobilized at the scene in Minneapolis, Minnesota, before the death of Alex Pretti.

The encrypted chats, reviewed by Fox News Digital, show that protesters were tracking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “abductors” and were already at the location where Alex Pretti, 37, was before he was shot.


Former U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Virginia, John Fishwick, told The National News Desk that when it comes to these chats, people are allowed to communicate when law enforcement is in a public space.

But that First Amendment protection disappears when there are intentions to obstruct and interfere.

"I think that it would be inferred by using an encrypted app that you're trying to keep that information private and only have certain people know it, including the folks that ICE might be looking for," said Fishwick.


The encrypted signal messages show that “rapid responders” who are anti-ICE were tracking federal agents outside of Glam Doll Donuts, which is where the shooting happened.

In December of 2025, there was a "how to" guide released for Chicago protesters on how to protest ICE and how to keep tabs on immigration officials. The same document was made a month later, a few days after Good’s death.

Edit:

I’ll reiterate this point:

But that First Amendment protection disappears when there are intentions to obstruct and interfere.

I don’t think it’s far fetched to say, he didn’t have his ID or, permit on him on purpose. 
He went down there with the intention of, obstructing knowing not having those items would make it harder to be identified if he was arrested.

Nope, try again. That was just an example of something they did. As far a the asylum seekers, it was entirely illegal to give them asylum in they didn't come through an established port of entry. We all saw the massive crowds that just came over. Also, they did not vet anyone, they just gave them papers to come back in 10 years for a hearing. Yeah, like anyone ever shows up. And those that do show up over 80% are being told a big fat NO.

You can ask for asylum even if youre in the country from what I understand. That is why the law that Biden would have passed woukd have increased the number of asylum judges. And alas, Trump shot it down.

Just as the protestors are tracking ICE officers, DHS is probably keeping tabs on the frequent flyers. Here Pretti is spitting on officers, kicking out taillights, and fighting, all while he has a gun on him. He also apparently broke his rib in an ICE altercation and that’s not confirmed to be the fight in this video, so there may even be another incident. ICE probably had him on the blotter as a guy who shows up with a gun and goes hands on with officers.

You are probably not wrong.

The trickle down may be interesting with this. Why didn't they arrest him the first time? They've arrested others for spitting on ICE agents. He may have given the string pullers the exact ammo they wanted. The fatal interaction that followed feels pretty execution like to me. And it sends a clear message - FAFO.

And we will see more of this type of stuff, and the victims will feel less and less 'illegal alien', and we will get more desensitized along the way.

The goal is fear and intimidation. Make you fearful to speak up at all. Shut up and comply. The inexperienced masked gunmen in your neighborhood are there to make it safer!

I wonder if the voter data is also to pull as much information on Democrat voters and find whatever they can to put people in jail, or otherwise make your life suck for not voting correctly.

If you look at it this way it's a clever strategy...Hire all the dumb dangerous domestic fellas (mostly referring to the new hires), and pay them to round up and ship off all the dangerous import fellas. After 5yrs they get out (and collect their 50k bonus), only to find they can't afford the cost of living anymore, and can't find a job now. They become unruly, and give big brother a reason for them to end up in jail themselves. Cheap labor acquired. 

Look how many of the J6 folks ended up back in jail...

EDIT - Most of the ICE new hires are unfit, low educated citizens. They have had to lower standards to accommodate the hiring surge. Most are probably coming from low skill, low pay jobs. If these guys were fit for this work, most would've already been doing it, or police, etc. They are the unhinged basement dwellers who felt a call to action. Not unlike what many in this thread have painted Pretti as.

This is why a lot of local Police organizations were frustrated with ICE actively poaching their guys as well, ironically making communities less safe.

BBC used facial recognition on the video and came up with 97% probability that it is Pretti. 

Top it off with the probability of flock cameras being used in the area with, DHS on top of it, I’m sure there will be many arrests in the near future. 

The fact that these so called protestors are communicating encrypted messages shows it’s organized obstruction. 

Now, they have the FBI on top of them. Should get interesting.

We're talking Signal group chats here, don't give them too much credit. I use Signal mostly because it sends clearer pictures/vids between Android and iPhone.

EDIT - This one is even better. The $60k student loan repayment is pretty brilliant work too...For those that got suckered into predatory college loans (I'm one of them), who didn't or couldn't pay them back (I'm not one of them), and are feeling stuck.

BBC used facial recognition on the video and came up with 97% probability that it is Pretti. 

Top it off with the probability of flock cameras being used in the area with, DHS on top of it, I’m sure there will be many arrests in the near future. 

The fact that these so called protestors are communicating encrypted messages shows it’s organized obstruction. 

Now, they have the FBI on top of them. Should get interesting.

We're talking Signal group chats here, don't give them too much credit. I use Signal mostly because it sends clearer pictures/vids between Android and iPhone.

EDIT - This one is even better. The $60k student loan repayment is pretty brilliant work too...For those that got suckered into predatory college loans (I'm one of them), who didn't or couldn't pay them back (I'm not one of them), and are feeling stuck.

How’s this, 

These dip shits who prefer  avocado wheat germ, gluten free almond butter. That lack protein in their diet. Soy connoisseurs . Have beards to cover their pimples but, are too weak start a chainsaw agitators. World Champions of participation trophies and, Hot Pocket eating contests.

That was a tough read...Talk to text?

Not sure if it's better as I'm not sure what you're getting at.

I also see some conflicting elements in your comment...'Avocado wheat germ, gluten free almond butter folks... probably don't participate in Hot Pocket eating contests.

Be consistent!

I do wonder how a lot of folks here feel about the student loan forgiveness incentive...Paid for by US Taxpayers!

The 50k bonus is a little misleading. It's a retention bonus. They get paid out 10k/yr, but if they leave before 5yrs need to pay it back apparently. Most new hires are probably barely literate fellas with very fragile egos. Some dudes who want out may be stuck paying back tens of thousands of dollars...

EDIT - It would be interesting to know how many pardoned J6 volunteer domestic terrorists (agitators) are now federally employed domestic terrorists (ICE new hires by and large, not all of them). I can't imagine many of the J6 folks were very employable with that patriotic act on their resume.

My beer league hockey team uses WhatsApp to communicate. You could say we’re using encrypted  messages to communicate. 

The reality is it’s easier to use a third party app when you have a mix of Apple and Android phones in any group. 

With ICE kicking in doors and dragging people out of their homes, arresting citizens, raiding daycares and schools, you really think people wouldn’t have a problem with it? They’re using their right to protest and fighting back against people they see as attacking their community, their neighborhoods. You’re trying to use the fact they used an app that works for everyone as some kind of nefarious plot.

Negative.  I was pointing out that they were attempting to hide  their conversations to obstruct.  Had I simply said, Signal… We wouldn’t be having this conversation.
