Alex Pretti, a man who was shot dead (10 times) by ICE.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These two photos (to me) point to something even more monstrous in modern times.
For all of its barbarism, the guy on the left still at least had the courage of his convictions to show his face while commiting his crime. He believed enough to not hide his face like a coward.
ICE is just effectively keyboard warriors with guns in the real world. They have the balls to pull their shit only so long as they can stay hidden and safe behind masks while doing so. A bunch of fucking cowards who would immediately piss themselves if they were one on one and unmasked.
I'm not going to defend any nazi, especially the guy on the left. But at least nazi's used to have the courage of their convictions. Nowadays it's just barely literate dude-bros looking for a mask so they can execute people.
Before, theirs was the only voice being platformed, so they knew they needn't fear. Nowadays, they're a minority voice in most public spaces and know it.
Strong sobchak vibes here
"I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos"
If it makes you all feel any better, the nazi with the gun didn't survive the war. Also, his hometown covered his name on a war memorial with a QR code so people would know what he'd done and he'd get proper credit for his monstrous acts.
That's why they wear masks now, so they can just walk around like normal people when they aren't murdering us in the street.

was a German schoolteacher and a member of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) who served in a mobile killing unit
"I wonder what I should do with my life... I already tried to mentor and help people find their way through life. Guess I could try genocide next."
What the fuck.

We need more community defense classes now more than ever. Seriously!
We need socialism
What video is this from? I never saw one that had a clear view of the victim once they piled on.
At least the Nazis had the courage to show their faces.
I'm not going to say you're wrong, but I'm conflicted by your comment. Was it really courage? I counter that they truly thought that they were right and had no reason to cover their faces. The Geneva conventions, nor the Internet, were things at the time. There wasn't any meaningful, if any, backlash to being a racist at the time. There was no risk to facists having your face uncovered back then, but there definitely is now.
These cowards have the advantage of knowing the history of the Nazis though. And they continue to carry out their mission. Even worse, by concealing their identities they do seem to hope that they can keep showing up to brunch and dance recitals to hobnob with the same people that they will be choking out and shooting in the face later in the evening.
While the original phrasing might come off a little strange, I think that there is something to be said about the meaning.
Honestly not sure which is worse. To think you're right and do evil, or to know you're in the wrong and do it anyway...
Those ICE Apes aren't wearing helmets. Bullets work on their heads the same as ours.

Everyone please remove your hats, and rise to be shot in the back as our national anthem is sung by kid rock.
Have we identified the shooter? And the ones with him?
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Well. We’re in a civil war officially. Have fun everybody!
Time to organize
Did they shoot him from behind? Like back of the head?
yes
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.
The executioner was apparently an 8 year veteran.
8 year Border Patrol veteran. They've always been trash.
