Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

The Athletico Mince podcast remains one of the funniest things to ever exist, even if you're not (a) into football or (b) into Northerners. Seek it out and marvel at Andy doing his best to keep up with Bob Mortimer as he streaks across the comedy firmament.
Because things are so depressing thought we could all do with hearing this again. Piss myself laughing every time.

If only the Telegraph did some proper journalism and tore this guy's story apart like @monkemma.bsky.social has. This is hilarious.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…
