Alex Pretti's First and Second Amendment Rights

January 25, 202601:27
00:00:00
Typically, you'd have some you'd want to
00:00:02
deescalate and say, "Let's wait till
00:00:04
there's a full investigation." But
00:00:06
unfortunately, the institutions
00:00:07
conducting these investigations now are
00:00:09
no longer trusted. And with good reason,
00:00:11
the American public doesn't believe that
00:00:12
these investigations will be be fair
00:00:15
investigations. So, you have to turn to
00:00:16
the, you know, kind of the frame
00:00:18
adjudication.
00:00:20
And what the frame shows is that one,
00:00:22
this individual was clearly exercising
00:00:24
just free speech. All free speech is not
00:00:26
exempt. If you incite violence, you
00:00:29
that's not free speech. But it's
00:00:31
difficult to see how in any way this
00:00:33
individual was inciting violence. He was
00:00:36
just filming what was happening. He
00:00:37
moved to help protect somebody. So his
00:00:39
first amendment rights were clearly
00:00:40
violated. Two, the Second Amendment is
00:00:42
the right to bear arms. He was carrying
00:00:44
a weapon which he had a legal license um
00:00:49
for carry. So his first and second
00:00:50
amendment rights were violated in about
00:00:52
15 seconds. Everyone is now ignoring the
00:00:55
constitution. The other word that comes
00:00:58
to my mind is cowardice and that is
00:01:00
Trump and Secretary Gnome are
00:01:03
perpetrating violence under the oposis
00:01:05
that it has something to do with
00:01:06
immigration. They want a third party
00:01:10
that will take the blame or the be the
00:01:12
shock absorber for this depravity and
00:01:14
that is an agency full of masked secret
00:01:17
police. I mean they're not even taking
00:01:19
responsibility for this violence.
00:01:20
They're trying to keep it at arms
00:01:22
length.
