I'd say yes, except they knew it was being filmed by others and would be seen. I think they did it for the same reason that over 4,000 black people (EJI, 2015) were lynched, supremacist ideology. Hatred is a cancer that breaks minds. Pretti challenged their power and threatened their identity, 1/2
Does anyone get the feeling they unloaded ten shots to make sure Pretti could never live to tell the tale? Same with Renee Good. The first two shots were non-lethal. It was the third shot into her left temple from the side of the car that killed her, according to the autopsy.
Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

We had to put up with school shootings because "the 2nd Amendment"
But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

While he can't literally do it, just him announcing it would cause enough chaos & confusion to taint the vote & open it to challenges. We need to prepare for this, bc it will happen. One way states could calm chaos would be to mobilize and deploy the National Guard like in Minneapolis right now
He already wasn't going to hold elections. Yes, it's more obvious now, but it was always true. He was obsessed with his vote counts, insisted they rigged every election and already tried to overturn the results once. There aren't gonna be elections

This is bad story telling and design. If there's too much urgency and pressure to complete the main quest then side quests can be missed or skipped. And good side quests should be designed to work parallel with the main quest, so that, unless you missed them, there isn't excessive deviation from 1/3

Yes. I voted for Kamala Harris by early mail-in voting. I’ve voted in EVERY SINGLE election since I turned 18.

Good reason to put solar panels on your house
Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

Exactly, this is probably my biggest compliment about progressives and others on the Left. They will relentlessly criticize Dems, but for too many of them you'll hear barely a peep about what GOPers are doing or they'll just dismiss it. It's especially frustrating when they're lying
To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

Does anyone have any idea how we break the echo chambers? No Trump voter in my family will ever know what actually happened to Alex Pretti or Renee Good. They will believe the officers were justified. They will watch Fox News and that will be the end of it.

A reputable source should try to use this to our advantage & have polls showing Trump's approval if he:
- Fires Miller, Bondi
- Cuts ICE Funding and reigns them in
- Removes his Gaza peace plan and submits to Congress recognition of 🇵🇸
- Gives more support to Ukraine
I bet his approval would double

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!

There are only two outcomes, either he is saying the amount is insignificant or, much more worrying, if Europe tried to weaponize it the USA would just declare their holdings void, collapsing the world economy
Yes, but Europe collectively holds a significant chunk of our national debt - enough to crash our economy if they weaponized it the way Trump weaponizes tariffs against them. The unnecessary arrogance of these clowns will be their undoing.

The right is going nutty over the pictures and videos of Black Panthers, I that is what the post said, open carrying their rifles in Minneapolis
Cowardly ICE thugs attack people exercising their 1st amendment rights. Waiting for them to attack people exercising their 2nd amendment rights.
Where is that mythical “good guy with a gun”? There’s always a coward with a gun ready to kill. Never a hero with a gun ready to protect.

The biggest reason to never vote for any of the national 3rd parties is that they are building nothing. They spend ~85%+ of their donations on their presidential candidates, a single race. Their entire shitck is that they aren't the Dems or GOPers, which is why they almost never win at any level
I’ve struggled for years whether to vote 3rd party or Democrat. When I was younger I was more idealistic. Now at 63 I am pragmatic and vote strategically. In the past I voted Green Party. I love Bernie too. I get it. As long as you didn’t vote for the DICKtator.

It's hard to believe that there are actually Americans who support the felon king's plan to take Greenland. Have they lost their minds? If America does anything of the sort, they should lose the World Baseball Classic and the World Cup and be banned from both. Just for starters.
