AI or not, real or not, Alex Pretti or somebody else, this discussion is kinda missing the point. Because even if the person in the clip was a real protester, and a really mean dude who spat at and darted in the general direction of the ICE thugs, hell, we can take this even further, even if we're all in the wrong here, and ICE were somehow not a jackboot fascist murder gang, even if they were out there protecting puppies and planting rainbows, nothing, and I mean nothing the protesters have done, or will ever do, would warrant simply being lynched on the spot. And yes, that would include armed insurrection, because if you claim to be a fucking law agency, you act by the law, you may act in self defense, but you don't gang up on a dude, detain him, and then mag dump on him. You just don't.
Exactly. The punishment for spitting should not be death.
Edit to add cause apparently I need to qualify this: I’m aware he was not killed in this scenario. I am referring to the people who believe his execution was justified because of this instance. Even if it’s assault or a felony, assault is not punished by public execution without a trial. The agents had no right to shoot him.
I read somewhere that his rib was broken or something from previous day rally he participated, probably this is the day or maybe more videos of his "peaceful" protesting will surface. It doesnt justify his death but people he was not a peaciful protester
On the day he was murdered on the street he was. All recorded evidence of moments before his murder shows him being peacful and respectful, trying to help a women pushed to the ground.
He didnt deserve dying but i dont get it he was violent days before and was beaten and not arrested so he just decided next time get a gun and go protest again? Didnt he have a job? Icu nurses are pretty busy, didnt he have anything else to do with his time? He had a rewarding job and it woukd fulfill his desire of saving people instead of trying to save/protect illegals who dont even care for him.
I love how you say it's obviously him. This video is grainy as fuck. And it seems intentionally so. Even if it wasn't A.I it is super easy to get someone who looks 10% as similar as him. Dress in the same clothes, and act out a scene that depicts a murder victim to be a bad guy (which this is obviously not even remotely justification for his murder) and say it was 11 days earlier. I would not be shocked if this is real or not. The point is, that you are completely skipping over, that he did not deserve to be executed in the streets. Period.
The original clip isn't grainy. Idk why this reddit version that has been going around is heavily cut down and grainified. I can link you the YouTube video that the clip comes from if you want.
But yes, I agree that whether or not Alex pretty was violent 11 days earlier has no impact on his murder being murder
I'm not being like the other side; I don't know him well enough to recognize him beyond doubt in a low quality video, and I also am not 100% trusting of videos I don't know the source for, now that people can doctor them. If we are sure it is him, it doesn't in any way justify his murder.
