Yeah, cool, great, whatever.

Still needs to be prosecuted for being in command and his role of in murdering American citizens. Fuck this monster, but let's not forget him either.

This doesn’t excuse you, Bovino. If justice is restored, you’re about number seven on the trial docket.

[–] awesomesauce309@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Do we really need a trial? He’s probably got a gun on his hip and should therefore be executed on sight. He’s certainly more of a terrorist than an ICU nurse

Let's not celebrate. The next scapegoat is going to arrive soon, and they may be more Nazi cosplaying.

It's a win, and worth celebrating. We just need to recognize that it's a first step along the path, not the destination

Bovino’s fall comes two days after Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis fatally shot Pretti, an intensive-care nurse who worked with veterans. Hours after the shooting, Bovino appeared at a press conference and echoed statements by the Department of Homeland Security alleging Pretti sought to “massacre” the federal agents. Bovino repeatedly claimed that Border Patrol agents, not Pretti, were the victims.

Videos of the encounter showed no evidence for his claims. Pretti, who was licensed to carry a concealed weapon, did not draw a firearm or attack the agents. The videos show one agent disarming Pretti in the moments just before another agent shot him in the back.

They say he’s expected to retire soon. Put his feet up. Go on cruises, see the sights. Y’know. Like murderers should do. After so many years murdering.
