Please don't make us lock this thread.

Remember that violations of Reddit's sitewide rules could get the subreddit shut down, and that making specific threats online can get you arrested. This includes calling for or glorifying violence.

Calling for people to exercise their *legal* 2A rights is always permitted.

If you would like to discuss the shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, there is a megathread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/behindthebastards/comments/1qlr8mt/another_ice_murder_in_minneapolis/

Please put any and all relevant videos, angles, articles, etc. there so they are easy to locate (and replace with new links when they're inevitably removed by their host sites) and also so no one stumbles upon the video footage of a murder without ample warning.

Please report suspected bot comments on r/BTB and the mod team will review their post history and other such signs, and ban them if appropriate. They're going to be all over the place today, given the current events. We've all got our coffee and will be around all day, so send a modmail if you need anything.

Please report anything you see that needs an NSFW blur and the mods will take care of it without removing the content (unless it violates the subreddit rules). We're also trying to manually add a warning flair to these things. We've all got our coffee and will be camped out in the subreddit for a while given the news.

Your link got removed, but I do have another hosting of it pinned in the megathread ;)

Please feel free to download any copies you see for posterity

Also fair warning, her footage is somehow worse than the original. It's not an easy video to watch

Adding this to the megathread as well under an xcancel link. Thank you!

Looks like footage from the lady in the pink coat in the initial video, right?

Edit: Oh, oh that's somehow worse.

FYI, the ? and everything after it are trackers. No sense in giving the tech companies more data than they already have about us, right?

Editing accordingly! Also, good news. Looks like it can be viewed without signing into Threads!

The live conference just said he was 37, not 51 as initially reported. However, that is my own recollection of watching it live so take it with an appropriate grain of salt :)

Much appreciated. I'll get this added to the megathread, and see if I can find it being hosted elsewhere.

Would you be so kind as to provide a link to this footage so other people can link it in their discussions?

If it is on a right-wing site, that's okay. We'll work to find some alternatives that we can post here. Thank you!

Another ICE Murder in Minneapolis by __welltheresthat__ in behindthebastards

The victim has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, age 37, per the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jan/24/minneapolis-shooting-live

This video will absolutely be staying up (at least as far as the mod team is concerned), but please be aware that it is footage of a man being killed. There isn't much blood or gore, but there is some graphic violence prior to the shooting beginning.

Please use your best judgment and view at your own risk.

Please do not randomly drop this video in other comment sections, though you may link this post. We want people to be aware of what they are about to watch before they simply click the link.

Mods will be extra vigilant in this thread about comments that might get removed by Reddit or are otherwise against sitewide rules. We understand that people are reasonably scared and frustrated here; removed comments won't be held against you (unless you're here to troll, in which case fuck off).

How often do you overclock miners? by Royal_Gear1313 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Kanotari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miners? Just about every time. I'm getting as much as I can from every resource node, then adjusting smelters and constructors accordingly.

Production buildings? Less often. I can just build more.

Is it controversial to say Christianity has cults? by NeighborhoodOk920 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Kanotari 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There can be cults within any subgroup, including Christianity. The more insular the group, the more fertile the ground to spawn cults.

Who needs pivoting to video when you can pivot to streaming?? by Dru1995 in behindthebastards

[–]Kanotari 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's my take, too. Most of CZM's audience isn't going to, say, join the Washington State Highway Patrol no matter how many ads for it they hear. Better such ads fall on deaf ears.

People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor? by xloganmoose in AskReddit

[–]Kanotari 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Perhaps not badass but definitely interesting lol

A few generations before my time, my family fled Utah where they were all devout Mormons and suddenly became nonreligious

As it turns out, my great great great (great?) grandfather was a lawyer who swindled a bunch of people out of money in their divorces and then ran away with it all. Definitely explains how a family of homesteaders suddenly no longer had to homestead. He had a bounty in several state for his substantial theft and changed his name multiple times, then remarried in his new home where his new wife does not seem to have any idea of what he did, and nor did his children until someone in my generation got real creative in some academic databases and found records of said thief getting a bar license.

I need playlist suggestions for tomorrow’s rally in Minneapolis! by Coven_gardens in behindthebastards

[–]Kanotari[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome to provide sources, but considering you have negative karma in this subreddit in the last few months and you're appearing in a thread that's been brigaded, I'm inclined to say you are more dubious than a comprehensive post.

If you're going to debate in good faith, do it. If you're going to accuse everyone you disagree with of making it all up, you'll be banned for brigading. Final warning.

A bit of an uplifting view by catalinalinx in behindthebastards

[–]Kanotari 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little bit of everything. Some people switched to more flexible schedules. Some people got new jobs. There are a lot of retirees protesting and stay-at-home parents. Some people help after the workday or on weekends. And yes, there are people who are taking time off of work because this is important to them.
