When Alex Pretti was shot there were a lot of debates about to what extent it was his own fault. Again and again MAGA republicans would bring up things like “Well, his family said he was starting to act weird” or “Well, he kicked a tail light out of a ICE vehicle a week before…”. Anything to make him seem like a worse person than he way, as if it should negate any sympathy felt for him.
Well, here’s someone saying the ICE officer in this case was not a good person; that he was unstable, and had violent tendencies. What will MAGA say about him I wonder? Will they remain consistent and say: “Yes, it makes perfect sense that an unstable person with a gun cannot be trusted in these high intesnity situations. He is not a hero”?
I don’t know how many ways I can say it. The right doesn’t care about truth and they haven’t for a very, very long time. They are so far beyond hypocrisy. Every breath is disingenuousness and deception.
Precedent, civility, fairness, morality, law… these are literal tools to them. At the drop of a hat they will start shrieking from the rooftops like it’s the goddamn fucking Apocalypse… and then turn around and do whatever thing they were shrieking about and proudly laugh about it like a Disney villain.
Alex Pretti could have been sporting a brilliant halo carrying tablets written by God himself declaring Pretti a literal saint… and the right would have said it was obviously a trick of the devil.
The ICE agent could have brutally murdered minorities in times square on five separate occasions and each time escaped punishment on the most trivial of technicalities, and been wearing a 10 foot banner mounted on his back proclaiming himself a proud racist for the entire time and the right would just mumble “fake news” and “AI” and call it a deep state false flag.
Ya know, it’s funny…

I’m not counting on it, personally.
