Am I correct? Has everyone on SS, besides pb, figured out exactly what happened with the shooting? And, who's culpable?

    So, he carried a phone plus two magazines of ammo? C'mon. You're our Winston Smith. Splain.

    Seriously, no source, no link? Btw, it was legal for Pretti to carry a gun and/or magazines.

    From what we can see with our eyes it certainly is a questionable killing by ICE. Certainly an impartial investigation is warranted so a grand jury can vote on indictment.

    Fox is already creating the fairy tale for Brown Shorts and OD to spew.

    The only information I used was y'alls jaded view. I haven't read anything else about it. So fuck you and your TikTok subscription.

    curt- Btw, it was legal for Pretti to carry a gun and/or magazines.
    So first you say that right after you said there was no evidence of pritty having the mags.

    The answer is; no it's not illegal to have the mags. He was shooting a 9mm. No big deal, as that's the biggest seller on the market. Without specific ammo, I'm not a big fan. Depending on the make and model of pistol, the mags can have 9-16 rounds in them. I'm "assuming" that it's a compact which is a lot of the glocks, etc. I'm "assuming" because no one has said) what make/model it is.

    I'm also "assuming" It's not a "pocket" gun. Those are sub compacts and carry between 7-9? rounds in each mag. My guess is that if it's holstered, it's a compact. If I saw the gun, my guess is that we could say. Either way, it doesn't matter much.

    The magazines. I'm thinking this guy's a "novice" to someone that has a single gun, and may shoot once a month to once a year. Just a thought. I don't have evidence to support that either way.

    Lets say he has one full mag (max 16 rounds) and the two mags on his person (48 rounds).
    When I travel though states with reciprocity, I may carry two extra mags. If I'm carrying within the state, I "may" have one extra mag. And that's just me.

    The number of mags is not something to argue about. It "could" be that's the number of mags he carries when he is carrying his gun. Which is not out of line with a lot of concealed carry folks.

    The flip side is that he wanted to kill a bunch of agents. Both are "Possibilities" I'm sure all the sides will have their views on this. I don't know and the guy got dead. He's not telling us, and I'm not going to entertain any argument about it.
    I AM NOT WILLING TO SAY EITHER WAY UNTIL INFORMATION CONFIRMS EITHER ONE! My guess is that we'll never know. So be it.

    OD,
    We only have HtS's word for it that Big Brother said Pretti was carrying two magazines. Maybe he was or maybe he wasn't. It doesn't matter because it is legal to carry a loaded handgun and extra magazines in Minnesota with a valid Permit to Carry, which covers both concealed and unconcealed, or "open," carry.

    Again. Either way, it doesn't matter to me, and it's coming out in the news. And I'm not going to get into this discussion.


  11. by Indy! on January 24, 2026 7:37 pm

    If I were you, I wouldnt get into it either, Odio. Your team is looking pretty nazi here (there and everywhere), 🥴


  12. by oldedude on January 24, 2026 9:25 pm
    Had you actually read the posts (which you never do), then you all of a sudden become a fucking expert on what you don't know anything about...

    The magazines are immaterial. simple as that. I actually see both sides of the argument. Which is something you don't have the ability to do.


  13. by HatetheSwamp on January 25, 2026 3:20 am

    OD,
    We only have HtS's word for it that Big Brother said Pretti was carrying two magazines."


    OyfreakinfrigginEFFINvey, Curt!

    pb didn't make that up. That's the word from the regime, man.


  14. by Curt_Anderson on January 25, 2026 8:19 pm
    Re: comment #13. The Trump regime also said that Pretti was a "domestic terrorist" who was intent on a "massacre" and was "brandishing" a gun. So no, I do not consider that a reliable source.


  15. by oldedude on January 26, 2026 4:26 am
    Maybe not according to one of those that supports domestic terrorism. Someone that still believes that it's good to have socialized rape of sex slaves as a "norm." And you've never argued that point. Someone who isn't any better than pol pot. And you won't produce any defence. Ergo, clarise, you are what you seem to be.

    So let's see........
    a "person" that brings a pistol to a "peaceful demonstration" and when agents attempt to save others from being shot and murdered, you whine like a little bitch about it's "rights" never thinking about other's right not to be murdered. I find that to be a little strange, that you prefer murder over someone's "right." It's much like yelling fire in a theater. You don't give a shit about human life. You believe the "rights" you believe in for less than 20% of the population, override the rights of the rest of the 80%. Unfortunately, that's sociopathic behavior. Question. Is your "wife" actually alive and not in the upstairs "bedroom" where you keep the corpse of your "son" that doesn't exist? Perhaps she's just a figment of your thought also. Maybe she's been dead for a decade or two, and she still satisfies your "desires" on those cold nights when she's colder?

    Apparently, pedophile's bitch and olde dude seem to think that anyone who open carries a weapon all the time is doing so because they intend to commit a mass murder whenever they go out for the day.

    When Alex Pretti left his home that morning, armed as he may well have been as he may have been every day that he left his home, he may have not even known he would find himself in the midst of an ICE terror event.

    You brainless assholes absolutely wallow in mendacious hypocrisy. You will never be forgiven for your anti-American, religious subservience to this fascist regime, olde dude and pedophile's bitch.




    You stupid, lemming-like, gullible, anti-American MAGA cult members are all of a sudden having a major cow about people's Second Amendment rights to bring a registered, legal firearm to a protest...?


    ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?????
