   Hmm... imho if I were attending a peaceful politcal demonstration I would not carry a handgun. That's the kind of thing a sane person leaves at home.
   
   If he wasn't carrying a handgun and ICE shot him dead I think the protesters would then have reason to file suit, etc. That he was carrying puts the potential for cause of error on the dead guy.
   
   Seems like a case of death due to poor judgment on Pretti's part, no?

     Yesterday the hot take was that the guy got shot by his own gun while scuffling with 6 officers. What is the latest most-plausible explanation?

     This is effectively a warzone at the moment and he did a retarded thing no matter what. Maybe if he was wearing scrubs and unarmed it would be a completely different story than tacticooled with a fucking 1911 like his is some black rifle drinking boomer with a god complex.

     @Dudebro@nicecrew.digital Yes. But Pretti shouldn't have been in there trying to "help" a collapsed woman... knowing he was carrying a handgun. A normal person carrying would back off and be thinking "duhhh, I wish I hadn't brought this stupid thing with me. Otherwise I could try to help that old woman!"
     
     Bad decision. ICE agent action was correct I think in this case based on what he knew.
     
     I'm not a big fan of ICE agents just seems like the guy was asking for trouble.

     @capt_whitebeard@nicecrew.digital Seems like yes. But what I'm saying is even if the guy was a super-duper-wont-hurt-a-fly-nice-guy-normie whatever carrying a gun, the responsibility for what happened was still his.
     
     He should have backed away knowing he was packing- so imho there shouldn't even be a trial.
     
     So best case - it was Pretti's fault.
     Worst case - it was Pretti's fault.

     he had his gun, two mags and carried no id. It was obvious that the dude was on edge and when they tried to disarm him he probably went for it. These guys are so strung up from the media and online bullshit that they have lost complete sense. This dude was there trying to get his up likes and be praised, while fighting The Fash lol it wasn't even ice agents that he was dicking with, it was border patrol
