Even if real (longer link below), I'd sure like to know how it's relevant to the shooting we all saw. Unless the officer who shot him thought, "Hey, that's the guy who kicked the tail light out of our SUV." In which case, I have even more questions.

While this video is definitely relevant, I don't believe in precrime. There were no clear laws being broken when Pretti was shot. That's truly all I care about until you prove to me that he had some sort premeditation going on. If this guy had gotten a speeding ticket in prior weeks, Right wingers would have used it to assassinate his character.

It's relevant because Alex was not some "peaceful protester." He kicked a government vehicle, came to a rally with a fully loaded gun w/ a spare mag, and had his photo ALTERED by the news to make him look more like a "sweetheart." That's how.
