"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Midwest politics is this guy driving a Subaru Outback with veteran plates and a thin blue line sticker, with the windows down in 40° weather, blasting "Fuck Donald Trump", in a Menards parking lot.
