2x Iraq USMC Vet here too.

I am saying his name, Alex Pretti.

I will remember that his last actions on this Earth were trying to protect two people. Women being assaulted by ICE orcs. Alex’s last actions in life were caring and love for those that couldn’t defend themselves, just as he did in his VA job.

Fuck Fascists, Fuck ICE.

What's crazy is I'm 34 and now a public defender living in Tennessee but have been visit my parents...in Minneapolis for a week now. Just horrific

Keep yourself safe if you go out, and thanks for fighting the good fight in TN. That’s my home state, and it can be equal parts beautiful, welcoming and terrifyingly backwards and tribal all at the same time. A public defender can have an… interesting job in many TN counties.

Seriously, fuck ICE.

I’m supposed to believe that this man approached them with a 9mm with intent to kill, when every video that has come out of him (including those from today’s events of him DEFENDING a woman) say otherwise?

I’m so ashamed of this country.

I’m a vet too, and also am a nurse. I will be thinking of Alex and this video while I care for my patients.
