Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

After decades of inaction on guns, flooding the country with 400 million weapons because of how "sacred" the second amendment is to protect against government tyranny, they're really justifying the cold blooded murder of a concealed carry permit holding American citizen by the federal government.
BRENNAN: You have been a supported of the Second Amendment. Do you believe Americans have the right to bear arms while they're protesting?
SCALISE: In most states you are not allowed to carry a gun while you're committing another crime, and interfering with law enforcement is a felony

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Imagine this in a trial.
Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing
Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

The fact that the attorney general of the United States feels compelled to respond to a literal piss drinking right wing shitposter promising to ramp UP the chaos after her government murdered another innocent american exercising two constitutional rights is, perhaps, the worst part.

"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

ALL MN PROTESTERS
Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

Alex Pretti is a hero. He was putting his body between these lawless ICE thugs and a woman to make sure she wasn't getting hurt. He was a VA ICU nurse, an American, and one of the best of us. May his memory be a blessing.
