He never even held the gun. He had it holstered. They found it while wrestling him to the ground. His crime was using his body to block the Nazi Gestapo from assaulting a woman.
And just a reminder that it is legal to own a gun. I cannot speak to Minneapolis' carry laws, but I'm pretty confident that the punishment for breaking them does not scale up to the death penalty.
In Minnesota, you need a carry permit in order to legally carry (open or concealed). Reports are that Pretti was licensed.
Shot him, many, many times. That's an execution, period.
I counted ten. And the guy at the end who just dumped a couple more rounds into the immobile, prone body on the ground should be in jail right now, by literally any standard.
And (if we trust they didn't plant evidence), he only had a 9mm with 2 magazines. That's daily carry, self defense amounts of ammo, not massacre amounts.
“This situation is evolving,” Bovino told her. “This is under investigation, those facts will come to light.”
said after he said as much lies about it as possible….
people might be able to stomach this if they admitted that the murder was wrong and they were charging the officer, but this “double down triple down” is designed to create violence….
Liars.
Next step: DOJ won't investigate becuase ICE said so
Right, and I'm Mary fucking Poppins.
Though, the more innocent civilians you execute on the street, I'm sure the more likely someone will oblige you with a massacre.
- The slander lawsuit will be cathartic
- Tell me why ICE agents and their family deserve hospital care now; ever. YOU DON'T KILL MEDICOS. They can treat their own.
One gun with 2x mags? That's pretty normal.
