I didn't say they killed him because they recognized him.
Don't imply I meant something I didn't.
What I meant was when they discovered a gun on him and possibly knew his reputation, they may have felt more threatened by him and that made them react.
I have a question if anyone has read anything that would answer it.
At the point where someone yells "gun", people moved in on him tighter and one man manages to retrieve the gun by reaching into the swarm of men on him.
My question based on what I can see in the videos, is there any chance the man who shot him missed the part where another agent got the gun and turned to leave. Did the man who shot him possibly think the gun was still in play?
Reading about that, there does seem to be the possibility. They didn't know he even had a gun at all and was surprised by it.
It was a split second between one agent reached into the mess of people on him, retrieved the gun and turned away and then the shooter fired his gun.
It's seems possible the man who shot him still thought the gun was in Pretti's possession.
Try to resist all the name calling and answer like a civil human being.

One who fired is apparently a Neo Nazi.

"that made him react."

You have not acknowledged the "challenge coins" whatsoever, and I doubt you listened to the William Sascha Riley interview.

ICE's purpose is to terrorize the population, thus Nazi's zip-tying naked US children and loading them into moving vans.

Wake up. Doesn't the abandonment of the Second Amendment seem.. suspicious?

@#40 ... You think posting on this forum holds Republicans accountable. ...
Directly? No.
Indirectly? Well that's a different story.
Who else might be reading this site for a view of current opinions?

You Never Know.

"Here we go again, we're going 'round and 'round.."

"Trump Says Americans 'Can't Have Guns' at Protests"
More confirmation that he'll say anything to get through the moment!
His statement is soo.. contrary to the views of the 2nd Amendment crowd that even the NRA had to come out against it!!!

"Stacks of green paper in his" Red Right Hand.

I've never liked his music. He's abviously very talented, I just don't like his sound. I feel the same way about the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

OMG, are you joking? Red Hot Chili Peppers - Breaking The Girl

Thanks for posting, Corky.
One test of a song is if the lyrics can stand by itself as a poem.
This one does.
Too bad Clarence Clemons left us 20 years ago, he might have played that instrumental solo.
But the harmonica is the poor man's instrument and harkens us to resistance, prisoners keeping up their morale or hoboes sitting around campfires struggling to survive the Great Depression.
The Superbowl is a week away and someone performing this would be perfect there.

Ron Burgundy for ICE? I'm down with the sickness.

THAT would be news "Jazz flute terrorizes ICE with Aqualung."
