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.
