    Alex Pretti was denied his first and Second amendment rights. No court can correct that.

    I do appreciate that you’re trying to stay positive.

      Don’t get me wrong…I’m not saying the situation is good. It’s far from even being “acceptable”. But, from a legal standpoint, they also aren’t just “getting away with it” either…at least not in the long run. I have no doubt the officers involved in Pretti’s death will eventually be held accountable. And I’m positive that the Trump administration stooges in charge will also face criminal charges as soon as Trump is out of office.

      Trump himself might be able to claim some degree of protection from certain charges, due to presidential immunity…but the people who work for him, don’t have the same options. And while many of the people in his previous administration managed to sneak out under the radar, without too much damage…this time it isn’t going to be so easy. They’re all doubling down on their crimes, which is making what was “legally grey”, now fully “in-the-red”. The legal violations are so blatantly obvious, that it would be a crime not to prosecute them all.

        I have all doubt there will ever be justice dished out to any PedoNazi.

        We can’t keep pretending America is what we imagined it. If after all the examples they’ve given, you think these people are leaving office, brother, wake up.
