I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

[Macanudo]

No one has ever voted for “antifa”. There is no party, no candidates, and no organization.

This guy exists. He has been arrested. There is zero proof anywhere that he is a “ member” of any group.

Also, this Andy Ngo guy is as far from a credible source as you can get.He is an “ influencer” who makes his living posting unprovable assertions, mostly about “ antifa” on his phone. Like Trump, he engages in high publicity lawsuits which he consistently loses. He is, basically, an entertainer.

To prove his point, Macanudo might as well have posted a video of Elmer Fudd. I can't believe how credulous some people are who can't or won't do basic 3rd grade research. No wonder there's so many Trump supporters.

The unfathomable Minnesota transcript​

There are still good lawyers working for the current Administration - the same kind of people who saw us through the first time.

'My name is Kyle. I'm Antifa'

Antifa (/ænˈtiːfə, ˈæntifə/) is a left-wing anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement. It is a highly decentralized array of autonomousgroups in the United States.[1][2] Antifa political activism includes nonviolent methods of direct action such as poster and flyer campaigns, mutual aid, speeches, protest marches, and community organizing.[3][4][5]Some also use tactics involving digital activism, doxing, harassment, violence, and property damage. Supporters of the movement aim to combat far-right extremists, including neo-Nazis and white supremacists.[6]

And that, in a nutshell, is the difference that MAGA doesn't get. There are many people that care enough about others that they are willing to stand up for them, even if it is "absolutely worthless" to themselves. Conservatives lack the ability to empathize unless they are directly impacted or there is a perceived benefit to themselves.

Each nation got the similar immigration law! You can’t just come to a country illegally and go on with your life! This is illegal and the Trump administration cracking down on it. You can’t just take the streets and riot against immigration controls. These woke people think they’re above the law. For example; I don’t get why this nurse guy was kicking and damaging the federal property or why was he carrying a gun if he was a peaceful protester! If they ask you for your id, just show it and off you go!

On January 24, 2026, during an immigration-related operation, Pretti carried a legally permitted 9mm handgun (with a concealed carry permit). Video analysis shows an agent removing the gun from him shortly before agents fired (around 10 shots), killing him. He did not draw or fire the weapon.

U.S. law does not require carrying ID at all times (except when driving), and you aren't always obligated to show it during casual encounters with police. However, in certain situations—like traffic stops, arrests, or immigration checks—non-compliance can escalate things. No major reports on this incident specify Pretti refusing to show ID as a factor (one unverified X post claims he had none on him that day).


In summary, your description of the nurse damaging federal property and carrying a gun during protests is supported by evidence, though the context is debated: a few view his actions as aggressive/provoked escalation, while most see his actions as protected protest met with lethal force.

I am reluctant to admit that given my effete, woke sensibilities, I dismissed this post as much on style (or lack thereof), as on content.
"If they ask you for your id, just show it and off you go!" makes little sense to me, despite my 7th grade reading comprehension level.
