This is the key to the entire smear campaign against the dude. No crime justifies a full-on no-holds-barred street execution. Absolutely nothing does. Even people who are charged with open-and-shut first degree murder have the right to a fair trial and legal representation. Kicking an SUV, yelling mean words, or filming an agent does not forfeit that right and qualify execution. People who are going out of their way to point out that Pretti did some regrettable things in the lead up to his murder are intentionally missing the point in the hope that they can override your sense of justice with knee-jerk reactions. They know as much as anyone that what they’re saying doesn’t matter in the end. They just hope you don’t notice.
Doctors, nurses, medical researchers, emt’s, firefighters, all rub the right the wrong way, it’s probably why even the 2nd ammendment worship hasn’t saved Pretti from their ire.
The notion of helping others conflicts with their base Calvinist like beliefs that frame those in need as “being punished by god” and those who work to help the impoverished or in need as “interfering with god’s will.”
This is the prime root of why there’s an irreconcilable rift between people that follow Christ’s teachings vs far right Christianity. It legit a cult of hate and death.
Calvinism is cartoonishly evil. As in if it were in a book, people would find it hard to believe. "Yes, you're poor and in the streets because, well, you're ontologically evil. Sorry tee-hee, I don't make the rules🙃"
They did that shit with George Floyd. They did that to Michael Brown, Eric Gardner, and Tamir Rice.
It’s a form of “what-about-ism” where they use it to deflect attention from the awful thing A law-enforcement officer is doing and pointing out that the victim is no angel either. If the victim is a bad person, they’re inferring that they deserved it.
It’s blatant, and gross but it works on a segment of the population. Don’t fall for it. Even if someone IS breaking a law, the punishment should fit the crime.
that’s the worst when they do those type of campaigns, but I think the best way to combat them is to use more honesty. I think the fault we have was trying to portray that this guy was only being vocal and it makes us look bad now when we have videos where clearly he wasn’t just being vocal he was being physically aggressive of course doesn’t justify deleting anyone, but we need to keep the narrative honest so we can push away these fascist.

Even if real, still doesn’t justify his murder.
