  1. Oh really? Has the statute of limitations for this imaginary crime passed since Charlottesville?

    He has no idea wtf he’s talking about. He never does so it’s no surprise. He should keep his mouth shut and stop removing all doubt. Ignore him as per usual. 

  3. IF – that were the case then he could have been arrested and brought to a court of law since he had already been disarmed and subdued by 800 lbs of Gravy Seals; except he was MURDERED by the so called law enforcement with no trial or jury of his peers.

  4. So much for the second amendment. That’s what you republicans and independents voted for, right?

    2A people? Y’all got any thoughts on this?

    Sounds like infringing on your right to legally carry a firearm to me. Or is this different because it’s coming from Trump?

    Republican with a gun = hero

    Liberal with a gun = domestic terrorist

    Plain and simple. This is the narrative they speak

    Leaving aside that it wasn’t actually a protest, Alex was legally observing and filming with others, this is just explicitly not true and a complete lie. And I know everything this administration says is a lie but I refuse to let it go by.

    I watched loads of ar15 armed, armored, masked protestors pull up to our Capitol here in Arkansas during the “stop the steal” protests. Pouring out of jeeps and lifted trucks they fanned out over the city streets around the courthouse on Little Rock saying they were there to “make sure the election was safe”. No police bothered them, no guards hassled them. Why is it that only allies of fascism are allowed to carry weapons? Why is it that the bill of rights only applies to them?

    “Shall not be infringed” re: Rittenhouse. This isnt difficult. Also how about “innocent until proven guilty” and “due process” and “we have multiple angles of this murder” what the fuck is wrong with these people

  10. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

    What about Alex Preeti?

    Ah, so we’ve moved past the “ignore the law” phase, and we’ve finally entered the “just make shit up” phase.

  12. Was it even a protest!? Or were people just going about their business, saw something going on, and started filming?

    That’s not what the Constitution says. Our right to protest is not conditional on whether we are armed. Our right to bear arms is not conditional on whether we are protesting.

  14. It wasn’t a protest. He was in his neighborhood that he lived in filming ICE activity. These criminals running DHS have no shame

  15. I remember in Texas when Republicans were pushing for open carry rights and so they carried AR-15s to every protest now those same people say you can’t protest if you’re armed…

    Kyle Rittenhouse brought a gun to a protest. And he killed people. He’s running around Scot-free, and shilling for Republicans.

    Let’s ask Rottenhouse what he thinks about it. They all said that what he did was fine, and not a crime.

    What are they scared of? They shot Alex after they already removed his gun. They didn’t know he even had a gun until he was already in a fetal position beating maced in the face. Is like, on video.

    Democrats and Liberals…

    Embrace the fact that Conservatives are now boot licking pussies, and you are the hard nosed badasses who are defending the United States and democracy.

    All those years wondering why the 2A wasn’t repealed… conservatives now wishing it was, and Liberals understanding why it’s important.

  20. Alex Pretti wasn’t at a protest. ICE didn’t know he was carrying before they started beating him up. Kash is a fucking clown.
