Station KARE in Minneapolis reported:
MINNEAPOLIS — The man shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis on Saturday has been identified as Alex Pretti.
The Associated Press reported Pretti’s parents confirmed his identity, and that he worked as an ICU nurse.
State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, we’ve also confirmed he worked for some time at US Dept of Veterans Affairs as a nurse.
Pretti was an American citizen.
Before Pretti’s killing, Governor Tim Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard to assist local police in maintaining safety.
The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that Pretti had no criminal record other than parking tickets. He was a licensed gun owner.
Just moments earlier, Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino said at a press conference that the man who was killed “wanted to do maximum damage to agents.”
Walz rejected that as a false narrative.
“Thank God we have video,” Walz said. “It’s nonsense people. It’s nonsense and it’s lies.”
When killed by 10 shots, Alex Pretti did not have a gun in his hand.

This is why Democrats lose. As Mike Lofgren said 16 years ago : Democrats do not know how to use language. “ Nonsense “ no it is not. He should have said that this is murder and the murderous thugs who committed it will eventually be held accountable. As well as the fascist thugs they work for . Right up to the White House

Joel: This is beyond a “like” (what is a “like?” in a situation such as this). What you wrote: Murder. What IS “nonsense” is the pussyfooting & cowardice of Congress…Republicans AND Democrats. Frey, Walz & Klobuchar–keep pushing. PUSH your colleagues into not just doing the right thing but taking the necessary steps to save lives.

Parking tickets are not a criminal record. Parking tickets are civil infractions, not criminal. And anyway, the victim’s criminal record or lack thereof is irrelevant. The man was gunned down in cold blood by “law enforcement” (sic) agents. I wouldn’t care if he were the reincarnated spirit of Al Capone, there was no justification for shooting him.

Of course, the White House will continue to tell BIG LIES because their followers are more likely to believe them.
We’re living tragedy.

I have been thinking a lot about the phantom left wing. You know, the violent people republicans have been warning us about for years.
There used to be a left wing that was extreme. The Molly Maguires terrorized in their day. Labor advocated for workers rights in the days when on the job injury killed 500 people a year on Massachusetts railroads alone. They often advocated with real violence.
Today we see right wing violence. We have seen it ever since Timothy McVeigh bombed the federal building in Oklahoma City. Ever since Aaron Bundy seized Malheur National Wildlife Refuge and walked free.
Trump talks of left wing radicals, but he has to make them up. His left wing radicals hand scalpels to doctors and record urine amounts.

Yet another U.S. citizen murdered execution-style inspired by MAGA Republicans’ psychopathic President and his crazed Cabinet of sycophants, plain and simple. They and their President’s psychopathy would dare have us believe the lies they tell contrary to the obvious truth we see.
