Nothing surprises me anymore about what I can only describe as pure evil we are seeing unfold in front of our very eyes.

Having now had time to study the footage in more detail, it appears that the man was wrestled to the floor by what appears to be at least 6 if not 7 masked ICE militia.

During the ensuing scuffle it appears he was repeatedly struck by those attempting to restrain him. The footage shows one agent remove a gun from what appears to be a holster from the victim and this was placed out of reach of the man. (Watch the attached clip)

It’s unclear which of the so-called officers fired the first shot, but that was then followed by 5 further rapid shots to the victim’s body. It seems pretty clear that at the point he was shot, the man was UNARMED.

As has been confirmed by his parents who have spoke to AP, the victim was 37 year old ICU nurse, Alex Pretti. He had a permit to carry and appears to have no criminal record.

Please note, this post is based on information available at the time it was written, you’ll appreciate that it is early in any investigation, so information may be updated.

However it was not too early in the investigation for Border Patrol Chief to hold a press conference displaying the weapon the victim was LEGALLY carrying. He made the claim that the victim “approached officers with a 9mm semi-automatic handgun” the proposition is that officers attempted to disarm him (which the video shows they did prior to shots being fired).

The claim is that he “violently resisted” which is clear in the video as he violently used his face to attack the fists raining down on him. To be clear, the only violence shown in this incident was from a gang of ICE thugs who began to assault the victim the moment he was on the floor.

Bovino claimed that fearing for their lives, they fired ‘defensive shots’ and killed the man. The footage clearly shows that it’s hard to suggest any offensive behavior and the man had already been disarmed.

It’s claimed the victim had 2 loaded magazines and no accessible ID. The clear inference Bovino then made was unfounded and deliberately inflammatory when he stated:

“This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement”

Then he moved on to create a new narrative that 200 rioters arrived at the scene that began to obstruct and assault law enforcement.

As soon as he opened the conference to questions from reporters the first question was “Was the man brandishing a gun?” He dodged the question and said the investigation was ongoing. Strange how he could not answer a simple question, to which the answer, as can be seen in the footage was NO. Yet a minute before he was able to predict a massacre event. You can see exactly where this is going.

As soon his DHS handlers could see where the questioning was going, the conference was shut down.

As with Renee Good federal officers tried to take over the scene to begin the coverup.

My friends, this is yet another state sponsored execution of a U.S. citizen who had the audacity to object to the terrorization of his community.

It is utter madness and it seems to me it’s just a matter of time now before the Insurrection act is invoked. This is the new Kent State moment for America in 2026.

For clarification, as reported to NPR reports:

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said at a news conference Saturday afternoon that the victim was a 37-year-old white male resident of the city who is believed to be a U.S. citizen. His only known interaction with police was for traffic tickets, O'Hara said.

"We believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry," O'Hara said.

I will conclude by saying there is footage which shows an ICE clapping after the shooting. Sigh……..
