Minneapolis Update

An armed man was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis. Personally, I think the people who are organizing and financing these protests are toasting the man’s death with expensive champagne. They don’t care about the idiots they incite to riot. They only care about their narratives.

The dead man has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti (37). The Left are waxing lyrical about how he, an American citizen whose home was in south Minneapolis, “grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he played football, baseball and ran track for Preble High School. He was a Boy Scout and sang in the Green Bay Boy Choir.” They want us to know he was a graduate of the University of Minnesota and that he worked as a licensed intensive care nurse at the Veterans Administration.

  • ABC News headline: “Alex Pretty, ICU Nurse Killed by Federal Agent”
  • AP News “Man killed by Border Patrol in Minneapolis was ICU nurse”
  • CBS News “Man killed by federal officer in Minnesota worked as ICU nurse”
  • MPR News “Alex Pretti remembered as kind, competent and quiet”
  • NY Times “Jeffri Pretty knew he wanted to help others”

There’s a lot more to their “vicious Trumpster shoots ICU nurse peacefully protesting ICE” narrative. For example, Pretti brought a 9mm handgun to said protest, fully loaded; he had two extra magazines of ammunition on his person.

Another point we need to consider is that the shooting occurred when Pretti tried to interfere with Border Patrol officers who were attempting to arrest an illegal immigrant who was wanted for violent assault. One source says Pretti approached them with his weapon and was killed as the officers attempted to disarm him. Another says they disarmed him and then shot him.

Some videos of Pretti’s shooting are posted @ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15496439/Border-Patrol-Commander-Greg-Bovino-gives-jaw-dropping-defense-fatally-shooting-Minneapolis-nurse-Alex-Pretti.html. They are chaotic. I can only hope the investigation is thorough and honest.

US Border Patrol Commander at Large Greg Bovino said, “I believe that all citizens of the United States have those 1st and 4th amendment rights as long as they do so peacefully, and don‘t delay, obstruct, or assault anyone in doing that — and that’s the issue here, because he was not peacefully doing anything.”

The Left is acting like the agents are acting out because they’re thugs. But let’s not be naive. CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/2015219465705726461 to see the kind of crap these officers have been dealing on a daily basis. IMO, the people organizing the protests have been ramping up the violence precisely so protesters will get themselves killed.

Like Renee Good before him, Alex Pretti was part of an organized network dedicated to interfering with immigration enforcement. PJ Media reports, “Cam Higby from Newsmax spent days undercover inside the Signal messaging groups these activists use to coordinate their efforts. What he found was stunning in its sophistication. These aren’t just angry citizens showing up to protest. This is a well-oiled machine running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

They have carved Minneapolis up into patrol zones where members walk and drive around 24/7, searching for an reporting on the presence of federal vehicles and agents. Higby reports, “They’re running shift changes, clocking in and out, just like any organized operation.” When they find what they’re looking for, they “instruct their ICE chasers to follow and confront agents.” Follow the link below if you want to read his whole report.

And … surprise, surprise … one of their organizers is Amanda Koehler, who also happens to work as a campaign strategist for Gov. “Tampon Tim” Walz. CLICK https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/2015157323535114548 [:39] to hear Walz say ICE, BP, and HSI agents are not “law enforcement.” Hmmm … pretty sure they are. Also pretty sure Gov. Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Frey are violating federal laws with their sanctuary crap.

CLICK https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/2015164997576360225 [1:16] to hear a specific call to violence from a former cross-dressing activist slash Minnesota Antifa member slash online recruiter named Kyle Wagner tell his followers to “Get your f—king guns and stop these f—king people” on Instagram. Wagner has branded himself on the neck with the gang tattoo of the Antifa “Iron Front” logo, similar to how neo-Nazis brand themselves with fascist symbols.

In other news, one of the rioters attempting to protect criminal illegal aliens from being detained and then deported actually bit off the finger of a Homeland Security Investigations office. It is likely he will lose the finger.
