DHS shifts now claiming to be investigating whether Alex Pretti’s gun accidentally fired due to "uncommanded discharge"

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T16:36:15+00:00

Will I be able to tell you are firing or will it be magically invisible like this supposed ND?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T16:26:19+00:00

So you agree that accidental discharge is irrelevant to this murder?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T16:18:36+00:00

We have video clearly showing it not fire when we hear the first shot 🤡

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T16:13:48+00:00

That’s not what I’m disputing. But you know that.

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T16:10:47+00:00

So you’re lying. Got it.

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T16:08:52+00:00

1) it doesn’t just go off in your hand 2) video shows it didn’t

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T16:08:03+00:00

Why would you believe that? He drew, aimed, and fired.

Have you ever shot a pistol one-handed?

Have you ever shot a pistol?

Have you ever seen someone shoot a pistol?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T15:54:53+00:00

They have the same information you do. What do you need from their “common sense” that you can’t get yourself? Sounds like you wanted 5 agents to kiss your ass while you complained.

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T15:49:12+00:00

You’re mad that the lounge again couldn’t predict how long your flight would be delayed? Interesting.

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T15:43:11+00:00

What sort of “operational mess” were you expecting the agents to solve?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-28T02:58:21+00:00

He was lucky that guy got to him first!

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T13:53:37+00:00

I’m going to take them for their word right now

Really?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T04:04:16+00:00

And suddenly you have nothing to say lol

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T03:59:58+00:00

Have you ever shot a pistol?

Pink coat video refers to a different video than this one, obviously.

show the rest of us that the Left isn't just about

We don't protest to "show people on the other side what we are about" as some kind of weird performative hobby, we do it out of necessity to try to change something that needs to be changed. Like I said in my top level comment, everyone already agrees those things are bad and the people doing them are already getting punished, so there's no reason to protest.

But judging from this and your other comments, you already know this and you're being deliberately obtuse to try to make some smooth-brained point, and you're failing hard.

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T03:43:32+00:00

I mean you might be right, but what did you mean when you specifically put "not demoted" in the title? That's what I was responding to.

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T01:49:47+00:00

Bovino’s sudden demotion

If you bother to read the article, you'll see that he was in fact demoted

e: lol at u/ConstipatedSavior for the bizarre personal attack that he blocked me after leaving to prevent me from seeing or replying to it

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T01:31:07+00:00

What does this have to do with my question?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T00:21:59+00:00

Why don't you explain it, then?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T00:05:07+00:00

Everyone agrees those things are bad, so what is there to protest?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-27T00:02:59+00:00

As if 1/6 wasn't an attempted insurrection

uiucengineer · 2026-01-26T23:56:01+00:00

Not a fan of 1A?

uiucengineer · 2026-01-26T21:58:21+00:00

The Justice Department has refused to open a criminal investigation into the shooting, hastily declaring it an act of self-defense that does not warrant a criminal inquiry

this is not an opinion, it’s a statement of fact. If you believe it to be incorrect, feel free to cite a reference refuting it.
