Last Saturday, federal border patrol agents shot and killed progressive protestor Alex Pretti in Minnesota. After his death, a video surfaced from a week earlier where Pretti had spat on border patrol agents and violently kicked an agent's car. Some on the left suggest agents killed Pretti on Saturday as an act of revenge for the prior encounter. We know that Pretti died after being disarmed by border patrol agents. Pretti was active in the operations to disrupt the border patrol and immigration agents and was not merely observing.
