tRump and whole of his administration and ICE should be hang. From the lampposts, by their shoelaces. Fuck them.
But have they or did we just get fancier toys?
Yeah that’s the point of the title, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”
I guess literal “things”, as in physical objects, changed, yeah, because ideologically some things never did.
you’re SO close
I give up, sometimes I get wooshed! 🥲
Everyone please remove your hats, and rise to be shot in the back as our national anthem is sung by kid rock.
In the still, is the kneeled ICE agent trying to stop the other from shooting? I can’t bear another watch of this video, but it would bring some hope back if that was the case.
No that’s not what it looked like to me, I think it’s just the still frame not providing context. This is after the first shots but before the mag dumps. I think the kneeling ice coward is just captured in the moment of recoiling away after hearing a gunshot but not knowing where exactly it’s coming from or who it’s at. Like pulling off the handle of a cast iron when you grab it forgetting its hot kind of reaction.
That makes sense. The gunshot is pretty close to his ears. Fuck this crap.
Probably giving tips on where to shoot. You’re a fool if you believe there is a single ICE agent that has a soul. They are worse than animals.
Daily reminder that all major American media companies are fully complicit with this fascist takeover. And at least one group I can think of is enthusiastically supporting it (skydance)
Whoever is not covering this is definitely not your friend.
I haven’t seen the pic on the right. What video is it from?
Alex Pretti, a man who was shot dead (10 times) by ICE.
Yes, I know, I’ve seen multiple angles of the murder. I haven’t seen this one. What video is it from?
Pretty sure this one is the most mainstream angle. How did you not see it? The exact angle and image has been shared almost everywhere.
Maybe it’s the cropping. I remember a lot more people being around him
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Well. We’re in a civil war officially. Have fun everybody!
Did they shoot him from behind? Like back of the head?
I don’t think the first shot was aimed at the head, but at the upper body area, while multiple people were wrestling him down. There was no need for usage of lethal force in any of this.

They don’t learn when you need lethal force or when you don’t. They learn how you aim a gun and that you have immunity while you are doing your job.
Immunity from civil litigation or criminal prosecution.
2 very different things.
Do they know that?
The executioner was apparently an 8 year veteran.
8 year Border Patrol veteran. They’ve always been trash.
The article gives a lot of information, but all i read about this guy is “… the officer who shot the man had extensive training as a range safety officer and in using less-lethal force.”
Which doesn’t undermine my point i suppose
From what I saw on videos they shot him from behind into his back. But it was not a scene of execution like here in the image, more like a fight situation.
It was a gang beating followed by murder
He had been dragged to the ground, kicked and punched repeatedly by multiple people and hit in the head with some sort of bat, he was unresponsive on the floor by the time the first shot is fired and then he’s clearly already dead or dying and not moving at all when the rest of the shots are fired.
Huh? I think I was misunderstood here. In no way I wanted to downplay US gestapo here. I just wanted to tell the difference between these two images: In the first one a person seems to be forced to kneel in order to get executed by a shot in the head. The second image was already described by you very well.
Why would you feel the need to point that out?
How about pointing out that the first is black and white and the other is in colour. Or that the first picture has a bunch of people in the background. Yes, thank you. Good to know your eyes work. But none of that is relevant to the point being made her.
Because the original comment specifically asked what happened, if the victim was shot in the head from behind.
Black and white image or the group would be totally out of context.
The videos I saw over and over and over he tried to get up and these fascist orcs shot him in the head and this is the photo from that moment.
10 shots in 5 seconds.
yes
Mmmhmm right, because ICE totally singled out and executed an innocent person.
That’s what the video makes clear, yes.
I always appreciate when addlepated bumblefucks out themselves like this. Thank you for your transparency. It has saved us all a lot of time.
Yes, they did, and eventually they’ll get to you. Are you a billionaire? Because if you’re not, you will either serve them, or die.
I mean, it’s happened a bunch of times at this point so I dunno why it would be so hard to believe.
Thanks for stating the obvious?
Indeed and then the worthless ICE asswipes fired more rounds into Alex Pretti.
… the more things stay the same.
We need socialism
That photograph is unbearable because it traps a man in the exact second before his murder. He is alive, kneeling, terrified, and fully aware that the next sound he hears will be the gunshot that ends him. The camera steals even that last mercy, forcing him to die forever, over and over, every time someone looks. He is not a symbol or a lesson, he is a human being caught at the instant the world decides he no longergets to exist.
Ice are nazis. Abolish ice.
He wouldn’t have heard the shot because bullets travel faster than sound.
I mean I assume you don’t die instantly so he might have heard it?
He is not a symbol or a lesson, he is a human being caught at the instant the world decides he no longergets to exist.
The irony of it is that, because of this, he will exist far longer than any of us will, but he shouldn’t have had to.
If I was the one murdered and could be aware of this, I would be massively thankful that at least this moment was caught so clearly, that I didn’t die alone, that maybe it won’t be for nothing and people will see this and have a fire ignited within them to continue the fight.
So many people have been killed just like this before that we never saw and will never know about. The murderer has worked for Border Patrol for 8 years. I would be completely unsurprised to learn he had already murdered others.
They’ve murdered a lot of people behind closed doors that’s why it’s so important to keep recording.
Have we identified the shooter? And the ones with him?
