Heroes Among Us


I'm thinking of Alex Pretti, who was murdered  while bearing witness to the brutal tactics of ICE, while trying to assist a woman they had knocked to the ground.

And I'm thinking of all the brave folks out in freezing weather with their cameras--still bearing witness despite the federal government's attempts to intimidate them.

Getting rid of Bovino is just a start. He and Noem and Steven Miller need to be held accountable for this brutal gang of thugs. As does the president, at whose desk the buck famously stops. 

ICE should be removed from MN. They should be unmasked, fitted with ID and body cameras, and demilitarized. Most importantly, they should NOT enjoy immunity, as this regime has suggested.

May we all be as brave as Pretti and those hardy Minnesotans!

Oops! This was meant to post on the 28th. These snow days make it hard for me to keep track of the date.

I agree with all, but my editorial self wants to remind you to check spelling of Alex Jeffrey Pretti's name. Weather is such a conundrum!

The inhuman thugs who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti must be charged, tried, convicted, and imprisoned, just like the goon who murdered George Floyd on a public street before witnesses. In all these cases, we owe our gratitude to citizen observers who recorded it all on their phones.
