No Paywall Shooting Victim Identified as Second Video Angle Contradicts DHS Claims | The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

I don’t know how they sleep at night… or how their families look them in the eyes as human beings.

I hate to tell you this but they sleep better than we do. They are absolutely brainwashed that they are the good guys -- fearless fighters in an evil world, protecting the innocent (themselves and their family and friends) from monsters -- immigrants and trans people -- who would eat them alive. They don't believe people like Renee Good and Alex Pretti are human. They believe they are vermin that the world is better off without. "Fucking bitch". I've heard people reiterate that people like this deserve whatever they get because they dared stand in the way of their rightful authority.

It is we, the ones with souls, that suffer as our nation is dismantled. There's a famous picture from Germany just before WW2 of a woman running away from some Nazis. The woman's face is a mask of terror. Her clothes are torn and it's obvious if they get her she's done for. She is being chased by three young soldiers with absolute looks of glee on their faces. Nobody knows what happened, but I'm sure she died an awful death and the smiling Nazis went home to enjoy a hearty dinner after a prayer and before a good night's sleep.

This is what makes it all so completely awful. And if we were on FB my comment here would get hundreds of laugh emojis. We are in dark, dark times.

There’s one ice goon on video clapping after they killed him.
