ANOTHER Very Sad Day
Yesterday, Alex Pretti was murdered by his government. My rage is incandescent.
The Washington Post reports:
Federal agents who were wrestling a man to the ground in Minneapolis early Saturday secured a handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of videos that captured the incident from several angles.
As many as eight agents were attempting to detain Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, videos show. One emerged from the scrum holding Pretti’s gun, and less than a second later, the first of what appear to be 10 shots was fired. It is not clear from the video whether the other agents realized Pretti — who local authorities believe had a permit to carry the weapon — had been disarmed.
The agent in the gray jacket crouches down, reaches toward Pretti and lifts a gun from his back near his waistband, according to videos taken from multiple angles. The agent turns and begins to walk away while holding the weapon, pointing it toward the ground.
Another agent, standing beside the agent in the gray jacket, unholsters his gun at virtually the same moment and points it at Pretti’s back at close range. At least two agents are attempting to hold him down. A split second later comes the crack of the first gunshot, though the videos do not clearly show which agent fired. Pretti gets up on one knee and falls over as the agent who had unholstered his weapon fires in rapid succession.

I used the exact same phrase yesterday, Ross. Incandescent rage.
I wrote about it on my cooking blog and then I wrote a letter to my elected representatives. Here’s the text of it. Anyone who reads it is free to use it as a template for a letter they sent to their electeds.
I, too, am enraged and saddened. This is not the country I thought I lived in. The lies from the felon and his administration are so outrageous. They expect us to believe even though our eyes tell us a totally different story.
I live in Minnesota and have children and grandchildren in Minneapolis i am enraged and heartbroken. The impact of this Ice invasion will be generational.
We are experiencing a slow motion coup d’etat. The regime in power wants to destroy democracy and our rights, so they can profit from oppressing us. Time to kick them out!
