Gun rights activist Kyle Rittenhouse condemned the comparison of his story to that of the latest fatal Minneapolis shooting to 'stoke the flames.'
On Saturday, a Border Patrol agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, 37, after Pretti allegedly got involved during a federal operation. Pretti was present at the scene of what the Department of Homeland Security called a “Trump skipping Super Bowl over Bad Bunny and Green Day performances: 'I'm anti-them' At the time, Pretti was carrying a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun on his person, according to DHS, but not in his hand.
Open carry of a handgun isSome compared Pretti’s final moments to the story of how Rittenhouse rose to fame. In 2020, 17-year-old Rittenhouse attended a rally in Kenosha, Wisconsin, while openly carrying a rifle. During a confrontation, Rittenhouse fatally shot two people but was ultimately acquitted of homicide after he said he acted in self-defense. “Armed vigilante kills two civilians in Wisconsin and is called a hero by Trump and Far-Right extremists. Law-abiding VA nurse is killed by masked thugs in Minnesota and they label him a domestic terrorist,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries “Hakeem Jeffries is a gay communist. It was his supporters — pedophiles and woman beaters — who ATTACKED me in the streets of Kenosha,” he wrote. “Now he wants to continue defending these degenerates and use my situation for rage bait and stoke the flames. NOPE.” During Saturday’s incident, Pretti was helping another protester who was shoved to the ground when an agent began pepper-spraying him from behind and wrestled him to the ground with the help of several other agents. During the struggle, an agent was seen carrying what appeared to be Pretti’s gun away, with the fatal shots fired seconds later. Others online noted FBI Director Kash Patel’s change in tone regarding armed protesters. In 2021, when Rittenhouse was on trial for homicide, and long before Patel became director, he promised to “help Kyle Rittenhouse.”, Patel condemned Pretti, saying, “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want.” Kash Patel today:"You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want."when asked about the shooting on Sunday. “But I don’t like it when somebody goes into a protest, and he’s got a very powerful, fully-loaded gun with two magazines loaded up with bullets also. That doesn’t play good either.” that said, “Man, it’s really cool to be called both a ‘bootlicker’ and ‘anti-cop’ at the same time for saying I want to wait to learn more details before I have an informed opinion.”
