Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37.
No criminal history. A lawful gun owner with a valid conceal carry permit.
I haven’t commented on any of the content of this story until now.
Pay very close attention the the ‘agent’ wearing the grey coat, with his back to the camera before he turns around and walks towards it holding a gun.
He goes in hands empty, retrieves the gun from the suspects waistband, at the small of his back, and leaves before the first shot is fired.
Every shot was fired, by federal agents, at an unarmed individual. Plain murder.
/edit:
multiple angles synced up together (this ones being updated as new angles come in)
From my understanding:
Like 6 ICE thugs were beating up this one guy
The guy was trying to reach for the mace bottle first and a thug kicked it away.
A single shot went off but it’s too hard to tell where it came from
Two ICE thugs fired a bunch of rounds into the guy as others backed away and he died
We really need that pink lady’s video I think. If the protestor fired first, then we’re looking at the question of justified defense against ICE (which they’ll obviously rule with ICE that it was a legal murder). If an ICE agent fired first, then it’s straight up murder first degree.
edit: I’ve seen three other views, and the ICE thug in the grey sweater pulled the protestor’s away first, then the ICE thug in green pulled out his gun, a shot went off (I think from this guy), then the other ICE thugs got scared and started blindly shooting. This was a straight up murder.
There’s a guy on the left beating the victim, potentially in the head, with what looks like a capsicum spray bottle. There’s a guy kneeling to his right who reaches for his right pocket and then, with his right arm, reaches towards the victim who is starting to get up before he suddenly jerks back as a shot rings out.
In my opinion, I think that man shot the victim point blank, potentially in the chest, and this is the first shot.
Either way, this is an execution, without question. That poor ICU nurse.
Edit: i watched the link coat woman’s video for a while, and i think the first shot (whoever it was by) was done in response to an agent accidentally falling over a little. They were on their knees, tried to get up, but as the victim struggled to get up, he accidentally shoved that agent a bit. Immediately after, the shot rings out.
If you watch the video, the guy with the gray coat walks up to them, removes this guy’s legal firearm, and walks away before the firing starts.
They opened fire on an unarmed civilian who was on the ground.
After the first shot, the guy goes limp. They shot him, then they got scared and unloaded a mag on him when he was already dead.
The guy didn’t have a chance, he was just cold blooded murder.
I see the victim swing his arms immediately after the first shot at :19. He goes down with the shots that follow.
The green sweater guy draws his gun, fires at point blank range, the victim doesn’t immediately register being shot and is still pushing back against all of them beating him, then the others hear the shot and get scared then assassinate him. There are about 3 or 4 other views now online.
just to be clear, it wouldn’t be justified defense even if they guy had fought back, since they abducted and beat him without cause in the first place
From what I saw, looks like the thug was pistol whipping the guy … Willing to bet that was the first shot and it hit home.
Nope, not from the other angles. He was hitting him with a canister
