Attorney, Self-Defense Expert: Alex Pretti
Shooting Was Legally Justified

Ashley Babbitt was murdered in cold blood by a Capitol cop. I don't remember any outrage from the left or their mouthpieces on the left. Remember her name.

An excellent article and video. Should be a Must Read.

As usual, a LIE Goes Around the World while the Truth is Putting On it's Shoes. The Truth on the Minneapolis shootings can be allowed to start seeping out (not to be mentioned by the Lamestreams, but through alternative outlets that do not have nearly the reach to the Great Unwashed) now, as the Left and the Lamestreams have milked this dry over several news cycles. Time to 'Move On' to a new Lie to further stir up the Useful Idiots. Just like all the other 'news' lies that the Left uses to further The Cause... When the Truth finally comes out, it is Radio Silence, and On to the Next Outrage (also a Lie.) It is a never-ending treadmill. It is Standard Operating Procedure for the Leftist Lamestream Liars.

I think Ill wait for the facts to come out before drawing and conclusions in this case. I have questions.

Excellent analysis by a lawyer who is particularly schooled in self defense law. He makes the excellent point that most lawyers don't know anything much about self defense law, since " it is not covered in any significant dept in law school.", to quote Branca. This matches what many commenters here have said. Pretti came armed, with the intent to attack ICE agents. THAT attack is a federal felony, so they tried to arrest him. He violently resisted arrest, and in the melee that Pretti caused, it was discovered that he had a gun, which ups the ante massively in any fight with LEOs, and then 'a shot was fired'....and the ICE agents responded by shooting him. It isn't absolutely clear how the "shot was fired". Some report that an ICE agent caused an accidental discharge of Pretti's gun while removing it in the melee. The gun model is well known for having a light, short trigger pull and NO THUMB SAFETY, so accidental discharges are distressingly common with this particular model. Multiple police agencies have selected the P320 SIG pistol, and then switched after excessive numbers of accidental discharge by officers. The US Army uses this model.....BUT, the Army version has a thumb safety. Very few civilian versions have the manual "thumb" safety.

Be sure to click the link for the second video containing a solo presentation by Mr. Branco. The regime media are silent re the cost of Pretti's gun-gunsight combo ($2,000) and the 20-bullet capacity of its magazine. Several law enforcement officers could have been lost in this incident.

As far as I am concerned, Alex Pretti was not going to a protest. He was going to a federal legal proceeding and trying to intervene. I am tired of seeing statements that he was going to a protest. He absolutely does not have a right to bring a firearm to a federal legal proceeding.

Of course, it was legally justified. Interfering with a LEO and aiming a gun at him is generally a very bad idea. I'll bet Pretti won't do that again.

He had the right to carry a weapon. He had the right to carry an extra magazine. He can’t be condemned for that alone. You can’t presume violent intent, because it’s his right. And the officers did not presume it either, until he appeared to reach for it while resisting arrest. As one whose 2A rights are unconstitutionally restricted here in NY, I hate to see the Trump administration making statements that imply he did not have that right. Their language is fuzzy:’carry a gun to a protest and expect to be killed’. No, that should not be the point made here. He interfered and he resisted, and THEN he appeared to be a threat with a weapon. That’s the point.

we're glad ICE were able to get an expert in self-defence; it could well be the saving of them going forward --in such a hostile over-heated stretch of the minnisnowta mayhem. may they all fall down, on their airses. i'm stuck on --the intent--before the 'so-calledprotestor' left home w/ such an unsafe gun as this. yes, the irrelevant gossip was- this man was kinky, and as mad as a bag of bees. some goofballs re-did his photo to glam him up--the face, hair, added biceps--h'wood style-- but there's more to this. the sorazz psycho-commies want to paint feds as knuckle-dragging imbeciles w/ guns. nevertheless, it is the shooter who demonstrated the real, willingly dangerous, extremism: the patent lack of due care, the sound reason, and proper training it takes to go out in public -- loaded for bear-- to public riots /protests/ general lunacy on a maoist scale/ hunting for ... federal targets, knowingly it would seem, carrying a spikey sort of gun without a safety catch. if blame belongs anywhere, it is on the uber-rich psychopaths who pay the criminally unstable dirtbags they import --to set loose on america for kink and kicks, and 80B in fraud thus far, in mn. the blame is on the evil politicians taking bribes to protect these 'mad emperors' from prison, and the death penalty. lock them up. all up. in a death penalty state. nuremberg isn't good enough for these shoitez. bring us the faucinstein crime gang; we'll talk. oi, gaslighting gop goebbelist gasbags in the uniparty of crime: we want you too, for starters: in angola, rikers, sing sing, alcatraz, II , alligator hilton, gitmo, the dc gulag, el salvador, fulton county-listening to big fanny and raffensberger complaining, and kemp after he returns the ill-gotten gains ...commies to devils island, the bastille. you'll be charmed w/ all the ...local colour... au revoir gophairs.
