The man who was executed this morning has been identified as a VA nurse named Alex Pretti, an American citizen. Like Renee Good before him, Pretti was also 37 at the time of his death. His execution comes 17 days after an ICE agent executed Good in broad daylight in Minneapolis.
DHS claims that Pretti approached federal officers with a gun claiming he was intending to massacre them. Both the video only shows Pretti holding a phone and recording their activities.
Like Renee Good, I don't think Alex Pretti had any idea he was down to his last minute on Earth.
It was federal officers who tackled Pretti and shot him at least 10 to 12 times mostly while he was on the ground. While it appears that they have recovered a gun, Pretti was a registered owner and allowed to carry it. Contrary to DHS claims, there is no evidence Pretti brandished his weapon much less had any plans to use it against anyone.
At this point, we cannot trust anything the federal government tell us. Period.
They are not interested in the facts. They are only interested in parroting propaganda to please President Trump.
For the moment, I have these four questions.
How many more American citizens will be murdered by Trump's goons?
If there are more Renee Goods and Alex Prettis to come, how much longer will we tolerate this state of affairs?
Will we be strong enough to force the Trump Administration to back down?
Or will executing anyone who gets in the Trump Administration's way become a fact of life?
The answer to the first question is yes. It is up to us to answer the remaining three questions.
