I don’t have enough maths to be able to follow Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s last theorem. But I do have enough Latin to know that “this margin” is a mistranslation - a schoolboy error.

It's crucial to know these ICE officers knew Pretti. They broke his rib when they arrested him a week earlier. So they knew he carried a gun & had a concealed carry permit. They knew if they shot him he'd probably have a gun. And it appears they track folks—and hold grudges.

You all may know this, but I'm just now reading that Alex Pretti had his rib broken by ICE agents one week before they shot him. They knew who he was. And must have known he was a licensed gun owner.

Alex Pretti lies on the sidewalk motionless, after being shot. Agents step back and continue to fire at his prostrate body, with one agent clapping as they do. Who are these savages?

But watch ICE eliminate the right to bear arms by executing anyone they find with a gun and to hell with the 2nd Amendment.
ICE will soon be killing citizens in their own homes because they're scared there might be a gun inside.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years.
These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
