Pair testify that Pretti did not hold weapon and was trying to help woman federal agents had shoved to the ground
...
She said: The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didnt see him touch any of them he wasnt even turned toward them. It didnt look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didnt see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times I dont know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him
She continued: I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.
I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me, and I dont feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I dont know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that theyre not telling the truth about what happened.
The second witness, a 29-year-old physician, said in their testimony that they saw the shooting from their apartment window near the scene. Before the shooting, the witness said, they could see Pretti yelling at agents, but did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind.

The biggest threat to Americans is far right domestic terrorism, controlled by Trump, Miller, Noem and Bovino.

(19,374 posts)they're going to want her dead.
But, to be fair, they seem to want all of us dead.
The fact that none of them showed any reaction to killing a man says a lot about who they hired. Not one of those guys seemed even a little bit upset or disturbed by having murdered someone.
No conscience, no humanity in any of them.

(19,374 posts)they weren't looking for the best and brightest. They were looking for people with no regard for human life or humans in general.
They were selecting for militia/proud boy types. Explicitly. There was an article recently about how many of them are not even literate.
