Yesterday Alex Petti acted as a good samaritan going to assist a woman who was aggressively pushed to the ground by #ICE #BorderPatrol agents. He was accosted by 6 plus armed agents, forced to ground, had his legal #conceal carry firearm taken & then being held down executed with 9 to 10 shots.

Again, the question is who will enforce this federal Judge's ruling to preserve the evidence in the execution of Pretti. I certainly hope the State of Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension can investigate & hold #ICE #BorderPatrol murderers accountable. #ruleoflaw #Brownshirts #2ndAmendment

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a VA nurse, a neighbor and today acted as a good Samaritan. His final act of kindness to help a woman up resulted in ICE confronting him, throwing him to the ground, beating him, leaking his gun out of his holster and then executing him.

The Minnesotan shot today was exercising his #2ndAmendment rights to #ConcealedCarry. He never upholstered his gun before being attacked for being a #goodSamaritan to a woman who was violently shoved to the ground. He went to help her up and was attacked and shot in cold blood.

Minneapolis is under attack by an unregulated, ruthless militia. Minnesotans need protection from this armed force. Trump has launched a #RaceWar & is creating #Civilwar.
