Three shootings in seventeen days. Trump stormtroopers blocking law enforcement and local police from the scene. The self-proclaimed “War Secretary”, formerly from Minnesota, cheering stormtroopers in Minnesota who publicly execute citizens. And video evidence contradicting every Trump administration claim.
Senator Duckworth:
Public executions at the hands of the government should never happen in ‘the land of the free.’
Governor Walz:
This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. It’s a campaign of organised brutality against the people of our state.
President Obama:
…heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
President Trump:
I have the most loyal people — did you ever see that? I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?
DHS fraudulently claimed their targeted victim was a threat to the Trump stormtroopers, despite being easily proven false by widely available evidence and witness statements.
…video uploaded by Drop Site that was recorded in the immediate vicinity of the shooting…makes clear that Pretti was peacefully observing the federal agents who approached him and later tackled him. There is no indication based on the available video evidence that he tried to harm federal agents…
White House advisor Stephen Miller claimed that public executions of innocent citizens are classified by him as Trump stopping domestic terrorism, despite an exact opposite reality. ICE are now the actual domestic terrorists.
“When a child witnesses violence or crime, it’s profoundly different from adults,” Dan said. “It leaves scars.”
Dan and Jane resisted the idea that they had become political. A better word, Jane said, was humanist. Their anger was unmistakable as they told me that the Trump administration was violating basic Christian principles. “It became clear very quickly that ICE is the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo boys. They’ve given them uniforms and let them run wild,”
And DHS officials know exactly what Trump is doing, reducing their popularity to hasten the need for more violence.
“When we gaslight and contradict what the public can plainly see with their own eyes, we lose all credibility and it’s going to damage our reputation for generations,” the DHS official said…
It’s being damaged so Trump can say public executions should increase until nobody can complain anymore. Look at Iran, where 30K protestors or more were just executed.
The man executed by Trump was a nurse from the VA, helping a woman who had fallen down.
The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn’t see him touch any of them — he wasn’t even turned toward them. It didn’t look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn’t see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.
An American citizen with no criminal record. A compassionate ICU nurse who cared for veterans. He was trying to help a woman stand back up, who stormtroopers had knocked down. For that, he was immediately executed.
Alex Pretti was violently mobbed by multiple maniacal stormtroopers who seized and beat him down and then unloaded at least 10 shots at close range in around five seconds, including several “grudge” executioner shots into his unarmed, motionless body on the ground.
Again, a half dozen stormtroopers knocked down and beat an innocent citizen, who posed zero threat to anyone, then stepped back and unloaded nearly a dozen rounds into him, in a public execution. There’s no other way of seeing these simple facts. It is how Trump said it would be.
Pete Hegseth, the man from Minnesota who renamed Defense to War. Who advocated for war crimes. Who bombed hundreds of civilians and murdered shipwreck survivors. Who promised America would be invaded first and told troops to prepare to shoot their fellow citizens. Cheering execution of a Minnesota man who actually cared for troops. The Hegseth hate tattoos were foreshadowing.
…pattern of racial violence, discrimination, and attempts to dismantle protective institutions provides crucial context for understanding current signals and intentions… imminent escalation into violent confrontation without hesitation or negotiation.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused to leave the scene, despite Trump stormtroopers trying to cover the crimes and force local law enforcement out.
The occupation of American cities by Trump stormtroopers. The breakdown of law. The state-led terrorism and public execution of non-violent citizens for helping each other.
This is the dictatorship.
Why do any business with America at all?
