“On Saturday, federal agents in Minneapolis killed protester Alex Pretti, shooting him in the back 10 times after they had taken away the pistol he legally carried. White House Deputy Chief Stephen Miller quickly settled the issue: ‘A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.’ A few hours after Pretti was killed, I commented on Twitter/X: ‘How many of the Trump supporters cheering the killing of the Minneapolis demonstrator today would also cheer for the FBI sniper killing Vicki Weaver in her cabin door at Ruby Ridge in 1992?’ This outraged plenty of Trump supporters but the parallels between the federal killings in 1992 and on Saturday are striking.” (01/26/26)
