ZeroHedge: What The Left Doesn’t Want You To Know About Alex Pretti, The Man That Border Patrol Shot

What The Left Doesn’t Want You To Know About Alex Pretti, The Man That Border Patrol Shot

Mainstream media outlets rushed to paint Alex Pretti as a blameless ICU nurse gunned down by heartless Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. They highlighted his work caring for veterans and seized on video snippets showing him holding a phone. The New York Times ran with that angle, running the headline “Man Killed by Federal Agents in Minneapolis Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun,” and claimed that footage captured Pretti only with his phone in hand, insisting that agents had no reason to believe he was armed during their encounter.

Media outlets are also quick to point out that Pretti held a valid Minnesota concealed carry permit and legally owned the gun, as if that absolved him for his actions against the Border Patrol agents.

Others point out that he had no criminal record, just traffic tickets.

But what the mainstream media isn’t telling you is that Pretti wasn’t just some random bystander.

According to Jeanne Massey, a neighbor, Pretti was part of a “Signal ICE” group chat of volunteers who organized a sophisticated operation to track ICE activity in real time and alert each other when agents were in the area.

These folks patrol streets, blow whistles, alert residents, and film operations to disrupt arrests.

That puts him not on the sidelines but plugged into the very network that coordinated responses to federal enforcement operations.

Mother Jones profiled the group just last week.

“A new activist twist on neighborhood watch is taking shape in Minneapolis and other cities under occupation by federal immigration agents: ICE Watch,” the outlet reported.

“As Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel drive around these cities, they’re often tailed by people in the neighborhoods. The idea is to make sure witnesses are present for any immigration arrest, to catch incidents on video, and to protest—or at least get the detainee’s name.”

The article described the “ICE watchers” as “passionate, determined, and just about everywhere—and ICE is getting frustrated.”


Massey and Pretti were part of the Kingfield neighborhood ICE Watch.

Massey spoke on behalf of her neighbors, saying, “Let me be clear: we are horrified, we are furious, and we are not going to pretend this is anything but what it is — another senseless act of violence carried out by federal agents in our city.”

“This is the third time in just weeks that someone has been shot during these so-called enforcement operations, and it’s devastating to see another life taken while our community is trying to stand up for justice and safety.”

Massey explained that she was one of many Minneapolis locals who flocked to the scene where the man was shot dead this morning.

She said that she was there when the ICE agents stormed the crowd and tear gassed the bystanders.

“People here are terrified, but we are also angry — angry that federal agents continue to operate with impunity, with lethal force, with no accountability,” Massey claimed.

“Our city is under siege. No one here feels safe, and that is unacceptable.”

The mainstream media seems to be uninterested in reporting on Pretti’s involvement with his local ICE Watch group.

Similar gaslighting took place after the shooting of Renee Good after she attempted to run over an ICE agent with her car earlier this month. She was immediately portrayed as a scared “Minnesota mom” who had just dropped her son off at school and accidentally found herself in the middle of an active ICE operation.

In reality, she was a committed anti-ICE activist who deliberately sought to obstruct federal immigration enforcement, and was part of her local “ICE Watch” group as well, with which she received training on how to obstruct federal agents.

Finally, here’s how Dana Loesch put it:

Yes, you absolutely can carry at a protest.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is an anti-2A statist. 

No, you absolutely cannot interrupt a federal op while armed and tussle with LEO.

That’s how tragic things happen. 

This isn’t rocket science.

Hard to argue with that.

    One issue of the aforementioned NSDAP Schulungsbrief (training letter) is devoted to the topic of “German soldiering through the ages.” As a pacifist myself, I cannot see any value in the topic of martyrdom.

    In any case, it states that Germans fought against Germans in America because they were paid by the war profiteer Rothschild and sold as mercenaries to the British, but also to the opposing side. Only when the deception was exposed did the slaughter stop and they fell into each other’s arms on the battlefield as lost brothers.

    The self-proclaimed libertarian, hardcore-Trumpist, and “civic nationalist” Steven Crowder, who, like his Indian comrade-in-arms Dinesh D’Souza, learned at the Jewish Mises Institute that capitalism is the best thing that ever happened to humanity and that National Socialism was in fact communist, presents here a German and a Jewish woman (which is surely mere coincidence) whom reasonable people can find almost nothing to criticize.

    When a Jew encounters a German, it seems to be a kind of cat-and-mouse game, in which (see Art Spiegelmann’s “Mouse”) it is already determined from the outset who is the predator and who is the prey.

    These roles are reversed, because in reality everything suggests that it is exactly the opposite when it comes to the concession of being “allowed” to be a nation in their own right.

    Apart from malicious “rabbis” on YouTube (who are more or less considered “mentally ill freaks”), Jews would never publicly state that it is their deepest desire for the German people to disappear from the face of the earth, but they are doing everything they can to achieve this result.

    The “goyim” (which apparently translates as cattle) are still allowed to be “human beings,” but only “racist and anti-Semitic” ones, if they do not embrace their own earthly transgressions like a snake.

    A minefield in which everyone probes the wounds of their opponent or (ostensibly) tries to avoid doing so. Who actually inflicted which wounds on whom? The Jews claim, against all cosmic laws, that they are eternally innocent of their own fate.

    The young German, who is still visibly inhibited but appears much more relaxed than he does in his home country, lives in America, according to his channel.

    In contrast to him, I would have immediately confronted the Jew, who is sitting and gesturing like a woman, with the question of why people, even as pensioners, are thrown into prison for years if they express their own opinion on the subject of the “Holocaust.”
