Video of Alex Pretti honoring dead Veteran goes viral

this whole thing feels like it's been cherry-picked by Mac Randolph to make Alex Pretti out to be some kinda martyr... is there more to the story than we're being told? i mean, why didn't ICE provide their own account of what happened? and what's with the timeline? alex pretti died 2 weeks after his dad passed away, but only now are people talking about this incident? smells like a setup to me... i need more info before i start hailing pretti as some kinda hero

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this tragic event. It's heartbreaking that Alex Pretti had to lose his life in such a senseless way. The video of him delivering his eulogy is just devastating - it shows how much love and care he had for his father, and now his legacy lives on through us.

I'm not surprised by the outrage and admiration that's pouring out on social media, though. We've seen far too many instances of ICE officers using excessive force against innocent people in this country. It's unacceptable and needs to stop ASAP!

As a nurse myself, I can attest to the selflessness and compassion that goes into this profession every single day. Alex Pretti was an inspiration to us all, and we need more like him - not just in nursing, but everywhere!

omg this is so messed up ... I mean, can you believe that ICE officers would do this to someone just trying to protect their fellow human being? it's like they're not even human themselves Alex Pretti was literally doing what any of us would do in that situation and yet he gets killed. his words are just so powerful, it's heartbreaking to see how he saw through the lies and knew what was wrong with this system .

I'm also kinda glad we have people like Mac Randolph sharing their dad's story because it's not just about Alex Pretti, it's about all the others who've been silenced or killed by these so-called "law enforcement" types . the fact that Governor Tim Walz is calling out Kristi Noem and Chuck Schumer for blocking funding for DHS is a good start, but we need to keep pushing for real change here .

anyway, I just wanna say thank you to nurses like Alex Pretti who put their lives on the line every day to help others. your sacrifice won't be forgotten

ICE officers go too far Alex was an amazing nurse who just wanted to help others But what happened to him was totally unacceptable . We need to hold people in power accountable for their actions . I'm so sad about his dad's passing, may he rest in peace . The nurses and doctors at the VA hospital are doing an incredible job , let's support them more . This whole situation is heartbreaking , but it's also making people come together to fight for what's right . We need to make sure that our government is working for us, not against us .
