   It's Alex Pretti. You deliberately misspelled the name out of   
   disrespect.   
      
   You are now lying about having lied. "Demanded to be dealt with"? What   
   an asshole. Pretti started recording video which agents noticed, who   
   then tackled him. That he was carrying a gun was discovered in a search   
   after he was tackled and subdued. He was shot and killed by agents after   
   he had been disarmed.   
      
   That he was armed because he intended to threaten or shoot federal   
   agents is bullshit made up by Trump apologists, not based on evidence.   
   You believe this.   
      
   Why shouldn't he be armed? He has rights under the Second Amendment the   
   same as a Trump supporter would. I had no idea Second Amendment rights   
   were limited to political belief.   
      
   Not to mention, the federal government keeps calling every single   
   protestor a domestic terrorist which means everyone who isn't   
   protesting, like Pretti, needed to be armed for self defense.
