BTC. Check this out. The first 6 and a half minutes will do. The NRA and others spoke out against the murder.

And, once again, we get a glimpse into the mind of the authoritarian cult member. Look at him attributing the alleged postings of **cheeks notes ** a rando or two on tik tok to overall a hundred million people. Not even a passing word of compassion for the kid whose mom was gunned down or the RN who was executed, gangland style, after ICE seized his legally carried handgun.

This is MAGA America. Paramilitary thugs who escalate from 0 to 100 in .1 seconds. That’s okay, though, because lefties aren’t really people. They are an existential threat to be exterminated. This is the poison injected into the veins of around a third of American citizens by the the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, Rupert Murdoch, Brietbart, Tucker Carlson and Steven Miller. The notion that people are going to be punished for voting Republican is a sick and twisted malicious lie. Remember when the right was up in arms because Obama was going to put them in FEMA camps? Guess who is actually building concentration camps? MAGA.

But Ajax is right about one thing — he has lost his constitutional rights. The penalty for exercising god's first amendment rights of speech, assembly and petition are, in MAGA America, punishable by imprisonment or summary execution without a trial. The Second Amendment is dead, killed by Trump. Any American legally carrying a firearm is now presumed to intend mass murder and can be executed self defense. And that whole fourth amendment protection from unreasonable searches and seizures thing is gone. If ICE suspects there is an illegal in your home, they will write themselves a warrant and knock your door down, guns drawn, and terrify your family. And the sixth isn’t looking good — summary execution without trial if you get confused or misunderstand an instruction.

Members of authoritarian mass movements always imagine that they are safe because they are the right kind of people. But they naïvely kid themselves. The top of the food chain doesn’t care about them, and would throw them under the bus or in a newly constructed gulag in a heartbeat. The leaders will project a fake confidence, but they are weak men and women who are paranoid about someone knowing them in the back. Authoritarian mass movements always eat their own — violently and without warning.

Ajax knows that blue states subsidize red states. They don’t enact a tax rate that will sustain their infrastructure and services, so they jostle to be first in line at the federal trough. But he so hates his country men and women that there is no falsity that he won’t utter.

Here’s the thing, Ajax has already told us that he doesn’t consider himself an American. He wouldn’t lift a finger to defend America. That’s why he hates those who will get off their fat assess and claim the rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Those who bear witness to and document a paramilitary force that invades cities and towns, ramming cars, smashing windows, dragging people from their cars, gassing and beating them. And even killing then.

What a small, bitter husk of a man.

Won’t he be surprised when we beat back the authoritarians and give him healthcare. :D

Q: WHERE is Mr. Pretti's own cell phone recording?
And why was his gun sitting on the seat of a car for a photo op instead of being in an evidence bag?

But that would require Democrats to give away their own money, rather than their preferred method of giving away other people's money. So even that would be a nonstarter to any possible peace negotiations.
Ajax, two things would seem obvious here:

1. Democrats pay the same taxes as Republicans,
2. Some within either party may be willing to stand up for their beliefs in the face of possible tyranny.

I’m sure that you’ve seen the videos out there by now of Pretti’s killing. Do you believe that it was justified? Why or why not?

They pay more than Republicans and were subsidizing Republican voters. For example, now that Trump came to power, again, people in the South are paying higher electric bills… because Democrats were subsidizing their costs, but Trump stopped it.

The irony is as thick as their skulls.

Oh, and the woke mind virus green energy DEMOCSCAMMERS?!?

Yes, but Democrats brought in the illegal immigrants unilaterally and also turned their heads and looked the other way during scamdemic and post scamdemic fraud that exceded the GDP of places like Somalia where enormous amounts of taxpayer money was carried by illegal immigrants who bore no loyalty whatsoever to the US or the American people. This is the Democrats doing and they should be the ones who have to pay for it, including the cost of deporting these people.

2. Some within either party may be willing to stand up for their beliefs in the face of possible tyranny.

I think it was a tragedy, but no more of a tragedy than the death of Ashley Babbit. If you value your life, don't bring a gun to a protest and then procede obstruct a lawful arrest of an illegal immigrant and then fight the police while refusing lawful orders. If you have a gun, you put your hands up and tell the officer that you have a gun on you so that he can safely confiscate it. You don't fight the police and expect to come out unscathed. Obstructing arrests and border enforcement is not peaceful protest. It's a crime. It's against the law. What about the 36,500 peaceful protesters in Iran that were killed in the past couple weeks? Do you view the situation in Minnesota as equivalent to this? How many Jan 6 protesters brought guns to their protest? Why aren't Tim Walz and the mayor of Minneapolis being investigated for inciting an insurrection the way Donald Trump was. Donald Trump said they were going to peacefully march at Congress. The Minneapolis mayor told ICE to get the F out of Minneapolis. Democrat governors have spoken to give permission for protesters to fire on ICE agents. How is that not inciting an insurrection? Why aren't these Minnesota protesters going to the gulag that the Jan 6 protesters were sent to?
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Comparing Alex Pretti to Ashley Babbit is inane.
