trumpers defend a kid like Kyle Rittenhouse with an AR-15 going to another state to shoot, but freak out about a U.S. citizen Alex Pretti with a concealed carry permit who never fired a shot before ICE agents pepper sprayed and killed him.
Make it make sense.

HHS boss and anti-vaxxer RFK Jr.'s ignorance will cause the deaths of Americans. Trump appointed people to defund and destroy their agencies because he doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself. Working-class people now pay a higher percentage of taxes than billionaires. (see 2nd comment below)
Step by step, Kennedy has succeeded depriving us of life saving vaccines & and in effect, closing us off to next gen vaccines that have broad implications. Other countries will step up while we watch our own stupidity kick us in the behind.

This is what the U.S. military is supposed to do. Aid, serve and protect the American people.
Trump's only concern is stuffing more cash into his pockets. He couldn't care less about anything or anybody else. ICE has already killed two peaceful protestors.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Trump/GOP will pull ICE if MN provides all of its voter rolls and data on Medicaid and food stamp recipients.
That's proof that there is no danger from the demonstrators. The fascist Trump GOP's main concern has always been voter suppression and tax cuts for billionaires.

Who shoots 6 more bullets into a man laying dead on the ground because they had already murdered him without cause with the previous 4 bullets?
Answer: Untrained, undocumented, murderous fascist stormtroopers working for Donald Trump.

A @nytimes.com video analysis shows that after agents restrained Alex Jeffrey Pretti & removed his gun from the skirmish, an agent appears to fire 4 shots at Petri.
That agent & another then fire 6 more shots at Pretti while he lies motionless on the ground.

The director of the FBI just reiterated the Trump uber-message: We can kill you.
Alex Pretti was not attacking the agents. If he was resisting as he was being assaulted by them, under no law enforcement protocol is that alone cause for a summary execution.
This is police-state tactics.
