Woman In Pink Jacket Who Filmed Alex Pretti's Murder Speaks Out In Emotional Interview

Powerful testimony.

Trump said today that he’ll move to close Washington’s Kennedy Center for two years starting in July “for construction.” Trump’s announcement follows a wave of cancellations by leading performers, musicians and groups since he ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the building.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Thank you! You are the boss!

I’m very happy to see this. Not a penny more for DHS if that means more funding for ICE.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

He was holding his phone, not a gun, when ICE attacked him. ICE criminals shot him...in the back while he was on the ground...10 times!!!!!
