Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse who was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent this weekend, suffered a broken rib during a previous encounter with federal officers, according to a report.

A week before his death, Pretti, 37, had a rib broken when a group of federal officers tackled him as he was protesting their detention of other people, sources told CNN.

      The point is that this indicates it may have been premeditated and he was targeted when they recognized him.

      THAT is much worse than the shit show we already have.

      I don’t think fascist book licker is a strong enough term to convey what these individuals are. Something like “Nazi pedophile” might be better, even if it’s just by association to their owners. They need to know who they truely are.
