Known Offender

Seems the Minnesota attacker had a habit of interfering with Law Enforcement:

• Democrats want you to believe that Alex Pretti, the man who died during a violent clash with Border Patrol in Minneapolis, was an innocent legal observer with a heart of gold. It turns out that Pretti’s armed assault that resulted in his death was not his first illegal interference with federal immigration officers.

  The underlying issue here is that Democrats have encouraged their activists to believe that they can commit any amount of violence and dangerous illegal behavior without any real consequences. The leftist activists deliberately endangering the lives of federal immigration officers on the streets, and fueling an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,347% increase in assaults, see themselves as heroes for their violence. Yet they also melt down anytime that violence backfires on them. Alex Pretti committed a felony and threatened officers with deadly violence one too many times. He fell for Democrat lies and it cost him his life.

The felony he was committing?

• 18 U.S. Code § 111 -  (a) In General.—Whoever—
  (1) forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any person designated in section 1114 of this title while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties; or
  (2) forcibly assaults or intimidates any person who formerly served as a person designated in section 1114 on account of the performance of official duties during such person’s term of service,
  shall, where the acts in violation of this section constitute only simple assault, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both, and where such acts involve physical contact with the victim of that assault or the intent to commit another felony, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

Committing a crime while armed pretty much negates the "he was allowed to carry a weapon" argument, because the minute you cross that line, the "allowed" falls by the wayside. Not to mention he wasn't carrying ID, which is a required component of Minnesota Law.

We could argue and counter-argue forever on this one. Was it unfortunate that someone chose to break the law? Yep, but he was an adult making bad decisions. Two-thirds of all assaults on Federal Officers care coming from nine cities - all blue state, blue city shitholes:

How about turning over all ILLEGAL ALIENS currently in state custody to the feds for immigration and deportation hearings and the feds wouldn't have to be in neighborhoods hunting for criminal ILLEGAL ALIENS. Texas has turned over more ILLEGAL ALIENS than all of these cities combined and the only assault was couple leftists attempting assassinate federal officers, accidentally killing a couple ILLEGAL ALIENS in the process.

In the meantime:
