Tue Jan 27, 2026, 01:03 PM

Times Square in NYCity has a billboard sized screen with a color picture of him displayed for ALL to see….………..They should leave it up, and rotate the pictures of all the 8-10 people that ICE/BORDER PATROL HAVE MURDERED RECENTLY……..Especially him and the female shown more often.
If that billboard were for rent, where we could make that happen, I would gladly donate money to pay the billboard company that owns it.
I would guess that TONS of money would pour in from all over the country, so that maybe they could do more of them, including one in Minneapolis, LA, Denver, Seattle, Portland, and Washington DC. And Governors could post their State National Guard, 24/7, to protect them……..

Why do we Dems come up with ideas like this, and the majority of U.S. Dem Senators and House Members, and Dem State Governors and Dem City Mayors continuously sit quietly on the side lines???????????????

Have their pictures stay up there indefinitely, and feel free in the future to add to them any that fall......
Keep them up there until our Democracy returns, and all that is evil in our government is eradicated.....

"Alex Pretti was murdered for exercising his Constitutional right of free speech and the right to ”bear arms”. The Trump Regime does not think we have those rights anymore".

The REPUBLICAN CABAL, does not think that the DEMOCRATS have those rights anymore, only their Republican MAGAots....

Do you recall years ago, whenthe countless children being held in chain link cages in different compounds, and even a congressional delegation was refused admittance by ARMED Quasi Military guards.......

AND no one said anything?........just one of many things that resulted in us being here, where we are today.....

This Republican chipping away at everything, has been going on for over 46+ years, and "The band just played on" so to speak

At the Whipple Detention Camp. They release the prisoners in the freezing cold without adequate clothing. They are cruel and sadistic.

Two young and caring people, just murdered in cold blood. FOR WHAT?? Some egos and power trippers.

This has to be the turning point. It looks to be getting some traction.

Readers added context
While the shooting of Alex Pretti is a real event covered by major news outlets, the image showing his face on a Times Square billboard is digitally altered and not real. No news reports confirm such a display, and live views do not show it.

This calm under pressure man is an icon just from the persona he exuded in life, I gather this from comments posted here and there from acquaintances.
Sad his life was stolen from him by those rent-a-thugs that dump deputized. Sad we have come to this moment in time...
