The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

IRAQ WAR VETERAN: “I wouldn’t do that in a war. There are no rules of engagement I’ve ever had that would justify shooting someone in that situation… and he shot an American citizen. This should scare the shit out of everyone.”
