So upset about ICE killings in Minnesota

So upset about the killings. No investigation and victim blaming from the Trump administration. I see no hope for America. Trump will cancel the midterms possibly elections or will rig them. The most powerful western country - one we thought was our friend is dying
im so sad for the bereaved and do sad for the country

I cannot begin to fathom the thought process behind these sort of comments. Jesus fucking christ. Open your eyes.

We have a right to assemble and it’s enshrined in the 1st Amendment, right before the right to bear arms.

Will be interesting if NRA joins the Resistance.

You Do That. Just wait until it's your turn to be targeted and no one bothers to defend your civil rights. I guess this is the actual philosophy you endorse?

Seems like this man “literally” didn’t pull a gun before being executed in broad daylight.

Shame on you.

You cannot defend this despicable administration by behaving in a despicable manner yourself.

Find a conscience ffs.

I bet the people saying 'stay home so you don't get shot' are the same people who opposed lockdown on the basis of it impinging on their civil liberties.

The hypocrisy of the right is absolutely sickening. They argue in favour of people carrying guns - then blame someone doing just that for getting shot. They argue for free speech and try to silence their opponents (by attempting to prevent lawful protest). They argue against lockdown and then tell others to stay home. They defend their out of control murderous thugs and accuse their victims of violence. It's deeply pathetic, desperate and patently obvious to everyone watching in horror.

Be proactive not reactive.

If you have never researched the history of Iran you might fid it eye opening. Women there used to drive, work, study, have their head uncovered. Freedoms are lost one at a time, its the metaphorical lobster boiling in a pot. Keep ignoring it if you want to but don't underestimate the extent to which the freedoms you enjoy could be lost if you are never prepared to stand up for anything.

I wish Mumsnet would ban US-based Trump supporters. Might as well have ISIS posting on here.

ISIS murdered hundreds of thousands of people in the most grotesque ways.

I’m appalled by this grotesque summary execution but this stinks of ‘1 white life is worth many brown lives, hence we can compare a lesser killer of white people with the bigger mass slaughter of brown people’

So it’s stay at home or be shot? Land of the free indeed..

Kidsgotothatschool · 25/01/2026 10:45

I have just watched the footage. I am speechless. I’m also entirely speechless that anyone can even attempt to justify the cold blooded ruthless murder of this man.

To all the trump supporters on here would you be so bold with your statements if it was your son, your brother, your husband? Or would you just shake your head and say it was his fault?

You should all hang your heads in shame.

Watching the footage, it’s not good. Unlike Renee Good (who did literally hit an ICE agent) it doesn’t seem like he was doing anything particularly dangerous.

ICE shouldn’t have to be concerned about protestors, they have a job to do. If the local police cannot ensure safety, then we may need to call in the National Guard. Not joking.

They're literally NOT

your posts are disgustingly lacking in an ounce of empathy

posts like yours show how far the USA has fallen.

Are you dense or jist in denial?

Have you seen the footage?

Literally neither of those things occurred and if youve seen them you'd know that's the case.

So what are your motives in lying?

Oh that's interesting, you're prepared to accept the lie about the previous murder victim but not this one - I know you've seen the footage

I really want to know if the nra is going to make any noise about this - the guy was basically executed for legally carrying a weapon without drawing it
Surely- SURELY - no matter how much you love trump, at some point you have to say, no I'm actually not ok with this.

I see your last line too - backing up the rumours that the govt is quite happy with ice murdering US citizens, as it will give them an excuse to send in troops to cities they see as too liberal

Tadpolesinponds · 25/01/2026 12:27

Why are you pretending that the ICE agents are in danger? You've just watched a video of the beating up and execution with 10 bullets of an American citizen who posed no danger and was literally lying on his face in the street, with 7 armed ICE men on him, and you're drawing from that that ICE agents are in danger and the National Guard need to be called in? Trump clearly wants to provoke civil unrest as a pretext for calling in the National Guard / military. ICE agents have apparently been expressly instructed to get rough, and have been assured that there will be no repercussions when they do so. That's what's happened here. You're moving towards Trump's dream scenario - a dictatorship.

Your Constitution states that they should be free to come out and express their views, but that doesn’t fit your Nazi narrative does it?

Literally pulling guns?

Why are you lying?

Pretti did not pull his (legally) concealed firearm at any point. It remained in his waste band until an ICE agent removed it - and that was before the other agent executed him.

All for attempting to help up a woman who had been shoved to the ground.

Have you not seen the videos that are widely circulating.

You know.whar you are saying is lies. It just doesn't suit your narrative to admit that.
