Do you think it was a justified killing?
Yes or no.
Lol "wasn't completely legal with his gun"
Amazing the lies these s try to still run with. They just can't Occam Razor this thing to be exactly what it is.

Alex Pretti as a bad guy isn't very credible
https://apnews.com/article/minneapol...51fd23afde4c02A host of other congressional Republicans, including Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas and Sens. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, pressed for more information. Their statements, in addition to concern expressed from several Republican governors, reflected a party struggling with how to respond to Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse at a VA hospital.
I don't know enough about Korea to know whether this is a good comparison or not
This was just me making this comparison yesterday, but today the Korean news is calling Minnesota "America's Gwangju" and have human rights lawyers explaining how America is now living through the dictatorship Korea once had.https://bsky.app/profile/ryanestrada.../3md7qa72hos2cThe Chun regime that my wife fought against in the 80s did the exact same thing. They needed a "crisis" that "only they could solve" to hoard more ill-gotten power, so they chose one city (Gwangju), declared its inhabitants enemies, sent trucks full of soldiers to violently attack and kill them.
hmm...
NY Post has knives out for Noem
https://nypost.com/2026/01/25/opinio...n-minneapolis/An impartial investigation is warranted here — not the one-sided inquisition Tim Walz wants, but one the broad center of the nation can trust.
The alacritous and misleading rhetoric coming out of the administration needs to stop: Any reasonable person who has watched the videos clearly knows by now he was not “waving his gun around.” And while Pretti was horribly misguided, there is no evidence he was a “terrorist” intent on a “massacre” of law enforcement. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem should also take a break from her self-promoting and combative TV hits.
However noble the mission is to rid the country of the “worst of the worst,” the broad support for it is now ebbing fast.
Mr. President, the American people didn’t vote for these scenes and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes.
It’s time to de-escalate in Minneapolis, Mr. President.
Not because you’re wrong to enforce immigration law, nor to go after fraudsters who’ve stolen billions in federal funds — but because these enforcement tactics won’t turn the tide, instead they are backfiring.
Swing voters — Hispanics and independents who turned to you at the last election — see US citizens dying at federal agents’ hands, and recoil in horror.
We should stop killing people, not because it's wrong - because it might lose us votes...
that the straight press is calling out official lies is newsworthy however the Post and WSJ try of weasel out and cajole
from the WSJ article
Let's ask tsa. He must be there now because he's not here.
Trump knows they've ed up
You got hazed on the fraud, Minnesota's rate of Medicare/Medicaid fraud is well below the national average. Maybe you're just a gullible racist too.
.New federal data released by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) shows the overall rate of improper payment in Minnesota’s Medicaid program is far below national averages.
In the review released this week, CMS found an error rate of slightly over 2.1%, compared to a national average of 6.1%. The data for the review was compiled before the Minnesota Department of Human Services began implementing new strategies to minimize the risk of fraud and harden its systems against bad actors. Reviewers at CMS checked billing statements and then compared them with medical records to ensure the billing was accurate.
“No amount of error or fraud is acceptable. Even one dollar is too much,” said Temporary Human Services Commissioner Shireen Gandhi. “We’re committed to making Minnesota a national model for preventing fraud and catching errors. This review shows we have strong internal controls that we continue to improve, and we are not stopping there as we accelerate our efforts to fight fraud

As for Alex Pretti, it seems clear to the whole world today that it was a bad shoot. Take off the blinders.
Even your boomer buddies in Georgia could see it
No, not at all. Guns, combined with interfering with law enforcement and then resisting arrest, while armed with a gun - is a monumentally bad idea.
Something else, in which I doubt Winehole is interested but, other might find telling - in this instance. If the image is of Pretti's handgun and if it's a Sig Sauer P320, it has an alleged issue of uncommanded (accidental) firing. It is one of the weapons I own and until Sig Sauer resolves the issue, I don't carry it. In fact, federal agencies have ceased carrying the firearm because of this potential flaw. Also, it appears Pretti's Sig has a few after-market modifications. Who knows what those modification may have caused. Anyway, that's what investigations are for, right Winehole?
Here's an article from last year.
Federal Agencies Reject SIG Sauer P320 Amid Growing Safety Concerns
DHS Is now investigating if an uncommanded discharge of Pretti's firearm is what might have initiated the use of deadly force. I'm not jumping to conclusions - like some in this forum.
DHS treating an own-homicide as an internal administrative matter and keeping the shooter on the street are most irregular
wouldn't the FBI and local authorities usually have jurisdiction over a shooting?
You're trying to mentally gymnasticize the situation into something it's not.
And it's your Trump and your Vance and your Noem that quickly jumped to conclusions here. You're a ing tool and a piece of .
now yoni blames guns.
Amazing.
This is how we know he never had any principles to begin with.

Lol at the NRA going HAM on the Trump administration comments on bringing guns to a protest.

I couldn't agree with President Obama more:
Who caved in that phone call, Winehole?
Sending Homan in to replace Bovino isn't exactly an admission of defeat. Also, you've got DOJ on the ground in Minneapolis. Not sure things are going to get better for those in government there. Perhaps Walz was negotiating an escape from prosecution for himself.
Meanwhile, the ICE Watch cadre is organizing healing rooms on Signal to help deal with their feels...
Yoni trying the "look over here" method like a good little bootlick.
