  1. "For MAGA, authoritarianism is clearly the highest value, and even earlier commitments to gun rights can fall by the wayside. Mixed in with the authoritarianism is tribalism. The right believes in gun rights, but only for the right sort of people."

  2. "The coordinated messages indicate that the administration believes that attacking Pretti’s gun carry is its best chance of justifying his killing to the public, but those talking points have already sparked backlash from some of Trump’s closest allies: gun-rights activists."

  3. "In social media posts and interviews, officials including FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and even Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett have falsely argued that Pretti’s mere possession of a gun or an extra magazine was illegal or evidence of his nefarious intent."

    ~ Stephen Gutowski

  5. For all the social media armchair warriors and gun fanatics now blaming Alex Pretti for his murder because he was legally carrying a gun to a protest that he never touched, Zeteo has a salient list of times these very same little fellows were praising folks openly displaying guns at protests:

  6. "Minnesota has a concealed carry law that gun owners do not lose when they attend a rally. (Perhaps Trump should not have pardoned the armed, violent Jan. 6 protestors; perhaps they should not have lionized Rittenhouse.)"

  7. "Well, that only applies to their own supporters, it seems. FBI director Kash Patel falsely stated on Sunday, “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” That is a lie."

  8. "Republicans have long-extolled the inviolability of 2nd Amendment, pushed for concealed carry laws, and subverted attempts to impose even minimal restrictions on gun owners. They turned Kyle Rittenhouse, an armed protestor who killed two unarmed people in Wisconsin, into a national hero."

    ~ Jennifer Rubin

  9. “You remember #KyleRittenhouse & how he was made a hero on the right,” Trey Gowdy, a Republican fmr congressman & attorney for #Trump during one of his first-term #impeachments. “#AlexPretti’s #firearm was being lawfully carried.…He never brandished it.”

  10. #Republicans were critical in 2020 when Mark & Patricia #McCloskey had to pay fines after pointing guns at protesters who marched through their St. Louis neighborhood after the police killing of #GeorgeFloyd in Minneapolis. And then there’s #KyleRittenhouse, a “counter-protester” acquitted after fatally #shooting 2 men & injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during the post-Floyd protests.

  11. When we are to push back at politicians barking it "happened because he brought a gun", why aren't our news reporters bringing up #KyleRittenhouse ?????

  12. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, #AOC exposes the characteristic #hypocrisy of the #MAGA cult after #KristiNoem called #AlexPretti a “domestic terrorist” because he was carrying a licensed gun at a protest: “How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person’s death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and the same administration that praises #KyleRittenhouse ?”

    "to shield the abuser from natural understanding of their abuse and the natural consequences of that understanding."

  14. "Again, this was said by somebody who is shocked and horrified by the state execution of Alex Pretti, and thinks of it as such. So we can see how instinctively any of us might turn to the abuser's mindset, even as we move to oppose it; to tell the abuser's story rather than the victim's, to ignore who is in power and who is not, who is being abused and who is doing the abusing;" (continued in /6)

  15. (continued from /3)

    "rather than acting in support of the U.S. civilians those authorities brutalized in his own community, as Pretti was; and Rittenhouse, unlike Pretti, had his gun out and ready to go, not tucked and never drawn; and Rittenhouse, unlike Pretti, used his gun to murder people at that demonstration; & Rittenhouse, unlike Pretti, is today alive and well and exonerated & celebrated by Republican Nazis."

  16. "If only Pretti had been brought up better, it seems, he'd be alive now. It was an important thing for this fellow to say to me, it seems.

    This same fellow compared Pretti to famous teen killer Kyle Rittenhouse, who, like Pretti, carried a gun in public. This analogy is astonishing to me, since Rittenhouse, unlike Pretti, came to somebody else's community to offer his support to fascist authority," (continued in /4)

  17. "This person told me with a certain amount of pride his own family had taught him better than to do something so stupid as that. I can only conclude that, in this person's mind, this is the reason Alex Pretti is dead, or at least a significant factor: Not the death squad but the fact that his family didn't teach him right."

  18. A.R. Moxon speaks truth to those who want to say, "Well, it's awful that they executed Alex Pretti, but he should have known better than to have that gun with him":

    "A person I know who is outraged by the state execution and realizes that is exactly what it shared with me his opinion that it was stupid for Pretti to bring the gun."

    "It was self-defense!"

    "The first rule of self-defense is to avoid a fight if it can [be] safely avoided. "
    ~~Thomas Gallagher, Minneapolis Criminal Defense Attorney

    So don't go there! (Looking at u, Kyle.) Or run/jump out the way! (Looking at u, Jonathan.)

  20. The administration is now saying that it was wrong to bring a loaded gun into this situation. Yet I recall how they turned #KyleRittenhouse into a hero.

  21. When Renee said, "I'm not mad at you", that was the excuse Ross was looking for to shoot her: "The nerve of her thinking I care if she was mad or not!"

    Like Kyle Rittenhouse; these thugs are just looking for an excuse to shoot & kill.

    #ICE #ReneeGood #KyleRittenhouse

  22. If Alex Pretti was a terrorist & an assassin, what's that make Kyle Rittenhouse? (A good 'lil Nazi, I guess.)

    #resist #ICE #AlexPretti #KyleRittenhouse

  23. "Remember dont bring a gun to a protest, unless its an illegal fire arm and you cross state lines and your name is Kyle. Then totally bring a gun, so we can call you a hero. 😒"

  26. "It is clear that US citizens' ignorance of federal laws and law enforcement duties, procedures, and limits of authority is getting to the point where it is deadly."

  27. "Culture of life is gone. We've replaced it [with] a culture of death. Well this is the same culture that thought that January 6 was okay."

    "Right. I mean, it isn't just state violence. It's okay with violence. Violence against your your enemies. And that is fascism."

  28. Jonathan:

    "Is it that they they just take a really expansive view of use of deadly force by agents of the state, or is it that they take an expansive view on use of deadly force against people they don't like? … You know, they're looking for ways to excuse Kyle Rittenhouse. They're looking for ways to excuse cops who shoot people. They did not like Ashli Babbitt getting shot though, right?"

  29. (con't):

    No mention of Minnesota Speaker Melissa #Hortman & her husband who were murdered (Trump: "Who?") Where were the half-staff flags for them? They joked about Nancy Pelosi's husband getting his head bashed in with a hammer by a guy who went to kill her, and tried to claim his attacker was his "gay lover".

    And as if to "prove" their point, they point to Luigi Mangione (whom I also condemned) who murdered the UHC CEO claiming he was a "hero" to Liberals.

    Two words: "#KyleRittenhouse". 🤬

  30. #Manslaughtering #MAGA grifter #KyleRittenhouse was paid by #TurningPointUSA to deliver uninvited #fascist propaganda at the University of #Memphis. 👀 👉 tiktok.com/t/ZPRTkdhft/

    The students there let it be known that #WhiteSupremacist #propaganda was not welcome on their campus. 👏

    And since the #TNleg passed their ban on #DivisiveConcepts on campus, it seems the #BananaRepublicans shot themselves in the foot - again!
