One reason why the thuggish murder of Alex Pretti by border control agents really gets to me is that could have been me. What he did is exactly the type of thing I would do.
I would totally just stand there with my camera phone and record ICE abuse. So, I can totally imagine a situation where I might find myself facing the same fate as Pretti.
(I wouldn’t have been armed though.)
It really makes you wonder if there’s anything ICE et al could do and it be recorded that might be too much even for MAGA to handle. I’m beginning to think there isn’t.
I think once we gave MAGA a pass for the January 6th Insurrection that that was the moment when we would no longer agree on the facts going forward. So, even if ICE et al shot up a few dozen people who were just standing around observing, THAT would STILL not be enough for MAGA.
They have a narrative — Trump good — and they’re sticking to it, no matter what going forward.
