The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

      Time to prepare was month ago.

      but you must do what you can now.

      Getting armed is stupid, that’s just atomising prepper ideology. what’s really important is to organize with your community. chances are there are already local groups resisting with community bonds. FIND THEM. Join local mutual aids, local DSA, local action groups.

        Getting armed is not stupid, depending on how it’s done. But you’re correct that in the absence of the steps you outlined it’s prepper nonsense.

          my bad, being organized and armed in useful.

          it’s scary that in this crisis, there’s so much prepper nonsense. organizing will likely keep you safe much more than a gun. and organizing+gun is a good combo.

          gun by itself is just bs
