I didn’t make any claims to this guys guilt or innocence but shooting someone as a citizen is entirely different than shooting someone as an ice agent. There should be concise protocol as to whether this is a good shoot or not. If it meets the protocol to fire his weapon then it is a good shoot. If it doesn’t then he needs to go to jail.Laughable. None of us would avoid chargers had we been the shooter in this circumstance.

Hard to say, assuming you mean we would be ICE officers for this example. I think the odds are moderately low he gets any charges. If he is, I'd say high odds he beats it and definitely will if overcharged. Unfortunately, Pretti did enough, intentional or not, to provide an out for the officers I think.Laughable. None of us would avoid chargers had we been the shooter in this circumstance.

Yep I am that’s exactly what it looks like to me and I find the whole attempt to be 100% disingenuous. In fact it’s massive reaching for straws to even go waste the time on putting this narrative! Absolutely zero weight for me and a bad reflection on anybody pushing the narrative!If it's real, they gave him slightly thicker hair on top. They widened and shortened his face as well. At first, I thought it was just a flesh-tone filter as well, but they obviously reshaped his head/face for some reason.

You're telling me that's the same person/picture? Just with flesh filters applied? Look at the grip-snip horizontal lines of the snips.
SIAP somewhere already.
No no no. This is a huge deal this ridiculous narrative idiotically denigrating the victim totally helps us understand why he should have been executed.In the grand scheme of things, does it matter? At the end of the day, neither does the video of him speaking over the body of the dead veteran at the hospital where he worked but at least that goes to Pretti’s character. That speech was pretty impressive and was heartfelt. Again, the death video speaks for itself and doesn’t need a lot of explanation.

In 1992, I was the managing partner in a cotton warehouse in Cordele, Georgia. We were getting alarms during the night and I was worried about a hobo breaking in, starting a fire to keep warm and burning up 15,000 bales of cotton.
So I decide to spend the night and carried a 12ga shotgun with me. Sure enough, close to midnight that freaking alarm went off. I jump up and go traipsing around to see what was going on. As I was walking around one of the warehouses back towards the office, a police car rolls up with their headlights on me. Two cops get out of the car and order me to put the shotgun down. I could not see them obviously, so I have no idea if they were drawn on me or not.
I did not argue for my 2A rights.
I did not try to explain I was a partner.
I did not try to explain I was on my property or anything else for that matter.
I put the gun on the ground.
They then came on up, id me and we talked about the circumstances. They let me pick my shotgun up and we all went on our merry ways after a few more minutes.
From everything I have seen, Pretti did not in any shape, form or fashion, deserve to die. The ICE agents appear to have overreacted and Pretti is dead. I do believe that if Pretti had really been cognizant of what his sidearm was going to do in ramping up the tension, subsequent risks, and reacted accordingly, he would be alive. That is NOT a defense of the agents, it is nothing more than my common sense saying he would be alive today if he had been better prepared mentally.
I don't care if there is a photo of him dressed as Shoney Bear in compromising photos with @McDad. Can't believe people even pretend that crap is relevant. Not that you are NDI will agree that is obviously not the same person. How about you @Orange_Crush ?

And you finishing with the bolded acting like it isn’t the same person is a really bad look for you and your credibility OC. It’s obviously the same person. And I’ve already said it isn’t the exact same picture. One has a warming filter the other appears cool white like outdoors/flourescent lighting.
Sure thing. I suspect it's probably AI. Agenda from either side would be reprehensible IMO. What made you think I'd have problems saying that?I will agree that is obviously not the same person. How about you @Orange_Crush ?
I’ve called out a couple of friends directly on this. It’s needless denigration of the victim to offer support to the admin’s royal f$&@ up. As I told them I likely hated this guys politics but I won’t piss on his grave in such a petty fashion.I don't care if there is a photo of him dressed as Shoney Bear in compromising photos with @McDad.

Steering away from someone isn't how you "intend to hit" them, even for you that's ridiculous
You haven't landed a punch. Don't give yourself that kind of credit.I didn’t think you would. I think you’re a pretty smart guy actually. Which is why I’m beating you up on this needless touch up picture narrative.![]()
