I think a lot of us are watching these videos as soon as news breaks because we know DHS and Trump will lie. We are also concerned the videos will be blocked and pulled from social media, most of which is owned by people who support or at least don’t contest Trump.
We near fair trade with all those we trade so we don’t have to sell them bonds. The problem in Europe is Russia. That’s clearly their problem to to solve, as we have helped quite a bit, until recently. If the real mission for ICE in this administration is expelling undocumented people the focus would be on Texas and Florida. The new mission is to attack political opponents. When 40 agents are standing around to arrest 2 parents and a kid it’s clear they are there for another purpose.
I think we are immuned and need to watch to have it sink in ...this is real... the "stunt man" is not going to stand up...there is also "gapers block" which may be inherent in our humaness
Exactly. It is not morbid curiosity. We know they lie. We see the videos and recognize they unabashedly, shamelessly, blatantly lie right to our faces, as though daring us to react with outrage and violence. Maybe they want to provoke the public into giving them an excuse to declare martial law. Perhaps not, though, since they could lie and say they have a valid reason when they truly do not.
PRETTI NEVER TOUCHED THE GUN. IT WAS HOLSTERED. HE NEVER ONCE REACHED FOR IT. This is jut a flat out execution after the agent removed the gun. WTF? This is George Orwell 1984.
And without carefully reviewing the video, you would not have any support for that opinion. I saw he was concerned about blocking body blows. Only saw the gun in an ICE agent's hand.
I counted three separate bursts of firing. The first shot. The second burst of 3 or 4 rounds. The third with more than a half dozen, possibly a magazine. All shots seemed to come from multiple weapons, noticed by sound. All shots were taken point blank, meaning from very close ( almost touching) to the victim to no more than arms length. The firing started while possibly 4 agents had the victim pinned and helpless. The first shot came from behind almost touching. Remember there were a number of agents within a foot of the shot. The second shots were while the shooter pulled away. These shots were before the victim began rolling. The third shooter seemed to be from 3 feet increasing as the shooter began backing away, and as the victim was rolling to his back. It was hard to see, but the remaining fuselage (6 or more rapid shots) were completed before the victim had fully reached his back. The body was still moving after the shooting stopped. The agents were prepared for this kind terror execution.
As a country girl, I am a pro second amendment person, and I am appalled at any pro second amendment person that would in anyway use ALEX Pretti's right to carry a fire arm as a vicious trumped-up vile excuse for DHS-ICE-CPB to brutally execute this American citizen. I am utterly appalled at the UNconstitutional concept of unqualified immunity for anyone who carries arms, and in all cases those whose jobs it is to serve and protect Americans
Someone yelled “gun” like someone yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre. This is the problem with everyone carrying a gun…. Instead of running and trampling each other, people will be shooting each other.
As a Northern Ireland veteran living in NI I would like to make a point to my US brothers and sisters: What happened in Minneapolis yesterday was a carbon copy of what the IRA would do to police and off duty soldiers right down to taking what we called personal protection weapon before the act of murder. That is what your country has become: the state is the terrorist.
Adam, you give me hope that we can get out of this mess!! Thank you for not being afraid to reveal the truth, just like you did as a member of the January 6th Committee.
Thanks Adam. Please watch Heather Cox Richardson’s video from yesterday on the shooting. At the end she says it’s time to ask Republican legislators if they believe in democracy and the Constitution. It would take 16 Repub votes to stop homeland security and 26 to impeach. And convict this time. Please ask your readers to call or email. Capitol Hill switchboard is (202) 224-3121.
Trump is a crook, a thug, and a rotting American. I wish his mother had gotten an abortion when pregnant with him. He has spread misery everywhere. Why was he ever born? Pure evil. 😞
I still blame the ignorant Republican voters who did not bother to learn about what the MAGAs were about or what Project 2025 was about or who believed the obvious lies of evil Trump.
From the time that young Bernadette Devilin was elected to Parliament, I've followed the troubles in Northern Ireland with great interest. After the Good Friday Agreement I was able to spend some time with former nationalist prisoners. I find your comment on civil war and the quarter-century of struggle in Northern Ireland to be apt.
When I think that Americans have been seeking for health care through the system for over a century, that the the Republicans repeatedly decided NOT provide it (which I regard as a form of social murder), and that there are more guns in this country than people, I am awed that only Luigi has killed one of the obstacles to people getting life saving care.
I believe witholding life saving health care from women in difficult pregnancies (such as those with toxemia and miscarraiges) is also social murder. And now we have ICE/CBP, etc. shooting people in the streets, killing them in concentration camps, and sending them to death camps like CECOT.
The government is literally killing its citizens, shamelessly, and without accountability.
I do believe the non-violent approach is more likely to be successful and it is the moral path but I am astounced that Americans have not responded with violence. I don't know how much longer this can last.
Thanks, Tina. Sometimes I think I must be crazy to think as I do. I decided to listen to Erica Chenoworth on YouTube to revisit why and how non-violent approaches are successful. I was listening when your comment came in. I really appreciate it. Kate
Hopefully, level headedness can prevail, and we remain peaceful; we NEED to. I have to say, though, every time I see one of these administration faces on the screen, lying to the public, evil thoughts spring out of me.
If he does co-opt the military these murders will proceed unhindered. Their budget has already reached military levels. A substantial increase will employ numbers that can easily deploy across the country. The members wil be January 6th rioters and all of the white supremacy movement to include the Clan, Proud Boys, and all other groups who truly hate democracy and every citizen who disagrees with their aims to burn America to ashes
Great discussion. I appreciate both of you for sharing your perspectives on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis as well as the stoking of anger and division by the Trump regime. I’m very concerned about DJT’s corruption and his role in pushing our allies away. Unfortunately it will take decades to repair the destruction of the US reputation in the world.

I'm sadly waiting for the 6 finger handed AI videos to make their debut 😢
Good point.

Those thugs on the ground are not "law enforcement"
This is all sickening and what more can we be doing..?
Adam, you give me hope that we can get out of this mess!! Thank you for not being afraid to reveal the truth, just like you did as a member of the January 6th Committee.
The regime is so incompetent the lies are so obvious!!
It appears to be an outright murder of an American citizen.
Adam for President.
It would be such a relief to have a President with morals, education and qualifying experience.
Thanks Adam. Please watch Heather Cox Richardson’s video from yesterday on the shooting. At the end she says it’s time to ask Republican legislators if they believe in democracy and the Constitution.

It's completely absurd that at least 16 Republicans would not come forward and do the right thing, after this 2nd murder by trump's regime.
Her video really hit me; she delivers her information a certain way. This time I could see her crying inside. 🙏🏼
Trump is a crook, a thug, and a rotting American. I wish his mother had gotten an abortion when pregnant with him. He has spread misery everywhere. Why was he ever born? Pure evil. 😞
Kash Patel is a grave danger to the country and is the epitome of incompetence.
I think all of us Americans have taken so much for granted.
I still blame the ignorant Republican voters who did not bother to learn about what the MAGAs were about or what Project 2025 was about or who believed the obvious lies of evil Trump.
I live amongst them and sadly they still haven’t learned
Project 2025 clearly states an intention to dismantle the federal government, cut off trade with other countries, and become isolationist.
And drank the kool aid that the trumpers were really prolife

I'm afraid you're correct. They're doing everything they can to push people to the brink.

They are Trump's version of Einsatzgruppen

There is NO defense of this…the scrambling and lies from the administration make them and their motivations look worse and worse…
