There is no specific Constitutional prohibition of shooting a man after pinning him down, pepper spraying him, and taking his gun. So while the radical left may choose to bring charges against the men who shot Alex Pretti, those charges would not be rooted in the Constitution.

the people who want you to believe that generative AI can paint like Picasso tend to gloss over the fact that Picasso didn’t have hundreds of Picassos to learn from. He had to make something new, which a model trained on old art is definitionally incapable of doing.
