The aftermath of a murder

This is how Stella Carlson described the actions of the CBP agents, after they had dragged Alex Pretti into the street and shot him 10 times as he lay there, unarmed, outnumbered, and defenseless:

“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Like what? What? And I knew he was gone because I watched it. And then they come over to try and perform some kind of medical aid, by ripping his clothes open with scissors.

And then maneuvering his body around like a rag doll. Only to discover that it could be that they wanted to count the bullet wounds to see how many they got. Like he’s a deer?


I watched that. And that is what it felt like they were doing. And that was why I was like: “What are you guys doing? Why would you jostle his body around like that? You aren’t even doing anything to help him. But I knew he was gone.”

Before the government agents went there, there was law and order. They were the ones who caused the chaos. And yet he makes it sound like it was citizens did it

bad getting the fuck out of MN isn't an option. THAT would calm the waters.

his hand caught in a bag of illicit cash. And he kept bringing up the yam which certainly did nothing to endear me to him.

That’s such a fucking lie. We had thousands of agents on the border.
