Perhaps the most infamous moment of the 2024 campaign - an open effort by Vance to demagogue Haitians - was lifted directly from a specific Nazi source, which he openly reads. Zero curiosity from our leaders about any of it. Nothing to see here, I guess.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?”
“Yes, that’s accurate.”

NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. But even if he didn’t he wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.
Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it
