DHS "justification" for murdering Pretti: "He had a gun at a protest." ---cough, cough, "RITTENHOUSE"---oh, excuse me.

That's not an original thought of mine...a number of people are saying ICE is "justifying" the murder using the same circumstances that allowed Rittenhouse to cross state lines and play Pudgy CosPlay Teen Rambo.

1. That was 2020. This is 2026 so the rules are different.

Whatever it takes to justify their actions sadly.

2. Plus Pretti was at a protest

in the city he lived. He didn’t travel to another state with an assault rifle.

3. It wasn't just Rittenhouse. . .

I think some of the Jan. 6 rioters were armed too, as well as these MAGAs who protested at the State Capitol in Olympia WA:

4. Please don't compare the two.

They are nothing alike.

6. I'm not comparing them.

The current justification for murdering Pretti was that he attended a protest with a gun.

So did Rittenhouse.

I'm comparing the situations, and the criteria stated by ICE for murdering a U.S. citizen on a city street, but I am not comparing the two individuals at all.

5. The concept of stare decisis applies. What law worked for Rittenhouse affirmed the right for

Pretti. And Pretti didn't even touch his weapon. So hmm...
