        It’s an odd game of limbo to play.

        You can’t upset the fascists because they own all the money, but you can’t stop the flow of money that comes from the majority.

        So you basically have to out yourself by “remaining neutral” although anyone that has eyes and can piece together the most basic thoughts can see right through it.

    Until these people fear for their own lives, nothing will change. This means peaceful protest is not the answer. We are unfortunately at that point.

        As far as I’ve heard, they are not saying he was “holding” a gun, just that he had a gun. MN is an open carry state. He may have just had a gun on his belt or something and they decided to protect themselves by killing him.

      There is. Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37.
      No criminal history. A lawful gun owner with a valid conceal carry permit.

      Six agents were on top of him; one pistol-whipping him in the head. Another retrieves Prettis gun from his waistband at the small of his back and exits before a third agent fires the first shot. The others jump up and back off while drawing their guns. Several agents then fire at least five more rounds into Pretti while he’s unmoving, unrestrained, and unarmed.

      All shots were fired by agents, at a now unarmed man, who was previously lawfully carrying and had made no attempt to draw his weapon.

      Something like 5 different angles show that the shooting of Renee Good was a murder. They lied about it anyway. They aren’t trying to convince people they’re in the right - they’re sending a message to their other agents that even if you get caught on 5 different cameras murdering someone, they get your back.
