Harry Litman - Congress Must Act Now [View all]

It’s more than a crime now.

It’s a violent reign of lawlessness against Minnesota, perpetrated by the federal government.

We are once again madly analyzing a kaleidoscope of images through a smoke screen of ICE lies. So I’ll attach the prosecutorial asterisk and say my immediate impressions—strong and disgusted as they are—aren’t designed to substitute for the constitutionally required, beyond a reasonable doubt, final take on what’s happened. We have to hope far more information brings the focus into crystal clarity, even as it looks as if the feds are taking action to prevent it.

But, from what we have in only the hours after the horrific episode, the latest fatal shooting of Alex Pretti replicates the worst, most lawless features of the Renee Good killing.
