a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm.
every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

Paul explains here that if he did this to a Taliban combatant in Afghanistan, after having clearly disarmed him, he would have been court-martialed and gone to jail.
Worth listening to him. He's angry. Everyone should be.

Feels like given DHS making up stories about what we can plainly see in the murder videos, we have to just presume every other death under their purview is also murder.

… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com …
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

it shouldn’t matter at all what the background of someone murdered by fascists is
“he was no angel” is horrible, bigoted bullshit
but it does affect people’s perception and they fucked up really really bad here because they appear to have shot an actual saint
