The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

    You are basically dismissing a pretty low bar because some other bars that are following suit are not that low. The “People from the South” are not the problem, rather, it is the stranglehold in information warfare that prevents Americans from living in a shared reality that has now been cultivated and ingrained into culture for several generations.

      So where is the connection to neoconfederates?

      Neo-Confederates are groups and individuals who portray the Confederate States of America and its actions during the American Civil War in a positive light.

          I believe that there is a stranglehold in information warfare. But without any supporting reasoning I don’t understand why the motivation for that warfare should come from Neo-Confederates. I would rather believe that that explanation is a distraction and part of the warfare.
