Did Alex Pretti deserve to die? Probably not, based on what I’ve seen. It may turn out to be a case of “lawful but awful” here, but he wasn’t actually trying to shoot anyone.
But the Left keeps trying to compare the response to Pretti with Rittenhouse, and the two are vastly different.
See, Kyle Rittenhouse was attacked by a mob and defended himself. Alex Pretti was part of a mob that was, as a group, trying to interfere with federal agents and put his hand on one of those agents. Then he opted not to cooperate during his arrest, which just set the stage for what followed.
But for at least one op-ed writer, the differences might as well be non-existent:

| What a sht brained article. The killing of Pretti was NOT lawful at all. They took his gun then executed him. Plain as day right there on video. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
