Deep down, how upset is the family that he brought a gun with multiple magazines?

Because at the end of the day that’s what caused the shooting.

The parents of Alex Pretti say their son quit his hospital job months ago and had shown “unusual behavior” recently. “He seemed to have joined some kind of group. We warned him two weeks ago — protest if you want, but don’t engage, don’t do anything stupid,” his father, Michael Pretti, told reporters. “He said he understood.” But it wasn’t until police pulled messages from Alex’s phone that the truth began to emerge — and what investigators found.

He sounded like a piece of shite, so maybe not as sad as a family who loses a good person.

“don’t do anything stupid”

I’m betting this was not the first but may have been the last time this father needed to dispense that piece of advice to his 37 yo son……..

Sucks to lose a kid to these evil pukes. That's how pure evil works though.

So many of these kids are brainwashed. Their plan is working with some of our youth. It all starts in the schools.

This is fake, as has been pointed out several times today on here. Stop believing any old bullshite in a tweet just because it sounds like something you want to be true.

The problem with a lot of these leftist is that they just recently discovered the 2nd Amendment and have no real history with firearms or training. I’m all for American citizens practicing their 2nd Amendment rights, I just wish these people would get properly trained on them….. especially if the are new gun owners

No carrying 3 magazines to a location where you’ve tracked down federal law enforcement and are playing traffic cop impeding their operation is NOT normal.

It is psychotic

The part about his parents having to warn him are absolutely true, as this is a direct quote from an interview with his dad. No clue about him quitting his job, but he was in another scuffle with ICE a week or so ago.

Sorry for linking CNN

quote:

Federal immigration officers have been collecting personal information about protesters and agitators in Minneapolis, sources told CNN – and had documented details about Alex Pretti before he was shot to death on Saturday.


quote:

It is unclear how Pretti first came to the attention of federal authorities, but sources told CNN that about a week before his death, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers tackled him while he was protesting their attempt to detain other individuals.

That's the dangerous thing about the woke cult. For their cult ideology, they can be lured into anything. Sounds like he connected with a doom and gloom group of extremists that had the same mindset as him.


The thing about antagonizing police endlessly in hopes the police escalate shite, so the police will be negatively covered... is that one of the outcomes could be death.

His parents seem genuinely upset. He seems to have had completely changed after he met that group of extremists. His parents are the real victims here. His group of cohorts are very excited that he died because they can use his death to try and advance their bullshite.

carry extra magazines is not smart at all. Even after they took the concealed gun off of him he still had those dangerous magazines on him which got him shot

AP News

Here's the quote from the Associated Press about his parents warning him:

quote:

“We had this discussion with him two weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically,” Michael Pretti said. “And he said he knows that. He knew that.”


quote:

She (the ex-wife) said he was a Democratic voter and that he had participated in the wave of street protests following the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020, not far from the couple’s neighborhood. She described him a someone who might shout at law enforcement officers at a protest, but she had never known him to be physically confrontational.

No, as per cnn he got his ribs broken before by ICE. He went back within a week to end it. It was not only his fault but likely intentional.

The cops likely overstepped, but it was the desired outcome.
