Mary Trump - "He Was a Good Man" The federal government murders another American citizen

“Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact,” wrote Alex Pretti’s parents in an anguished statement published in the aftermath of their son’s murder. But because we have fallen so far, before most of us could begin to make sense of what happened to this 37-year-old ICU nurse, members of the Trump regime came out almost immediately to blame the victim.

Gregory Bovino, head of Border Patrol operations said Alex Pretti was there to “perpetrate violence, obstruct, delay or obfuscate border patrol in the performance of their duties in an active crime scene.” He claimed “the suspect put himself in that situation. The victims are the border patrol agents there. [Pretti] brought a semiautomatic weapon to a riot, assaulted federal officers. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”

Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, who also called Pretti a “domestic terrorist,” echoed these sentiments. F.B.I. Director Kash Patel called Pretti “a violent actor” and said, “You do not get to attack law enforcement officials in this country without any repercussions.”

Just like their boss, Donald Trump, the likes of Bovino and Noem and Patel lie with alarming frequency and a sickening fluency. That is no reason to become numb to their lies. Statements and video provided by witnesses paint a starkly different picture from the one fabricated by the members of Trump regime. It was not a riot, it was a peaceful protest against the actions of ICE. Pretti was there as an observer, not to “perpetrate violence.” He was certainly not there to “massacre law enforcement,” an outrageous lie that would be absurd if the man about whom it was told hadn’t been murdered by said law enforcement. And Mr. Pretti, while armed with a legally owned gun, never touched his weapon and was himself assaulted by as many as seven ICE agents who demonstrated an appalling lack of professionalism, restraint, and training. They murdered Mr. Pretti because they could, not because of anything he did. The only domestic terrorists in this scenario are the ICE agents and those in positions of power giving them orders.
