"As with Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, and Renee Good, to name but a few of the left’s honored dead, all is not as it seems."
. . . " And then there’s Alex Pretti. He was, we were told, a nurse, for God’s sake! (Did I mention that before?) He was at this particular ICE protest as a legally armed good Samaritan, trying to save innocent criminals from being rounded up by evil ICE agents. He died only because his childlike goodness led him to aid a woman whom ICE agents were brutally beating. This is the stuff of good martyrdom narratives.
"Except it’s not really true. Instead, he seems to have been a troubled man who became obsessed with opposing ICE. Thus, his father stated, “We had this discussion with him two weeks ago or so, you know, that go ahead and protest, but do not engage, do not do anything stupid, basically.”
"Could it be that his parents knew that Pretti had a propensity to do stupid things? Well, probably.
It turns out that a week after that conversation with his dad and a week before his final tangle with ICE, Pretti got physical with ICE agents, resulting in a broken rib:" . . .
. . . Good and Pretti are distinct from other Democrat martyrs in that neither had a history as a gangbanger or a felon. However, they were hardcore activists who embraced confrontation. Like other Democrat martyrs, both were engaged in manifestly criminal activity when they died: Interfering with government law enforcement agents in the performance of their duties, refusing lawful orders, and either attempting to kill or, in the heat of the moment, seemingly attempting to kill those officers.
The only way to elevate them to martyr status, of course, is to continue the leftist pretense that America is a fatally racist, morally corrupt hellhole (to which the whole Third World wishes to immigrate), run by Gestapo-like troops who dare to enforce longstanding federal law.
