On Saturday morning, a Reddit user who has posted about living in Minneapolis for years shared a video on the city’s subreddit, r/Minneapolis, with the title “Another ICE murder in front of Glam Doll Donuts.”
The 40-second clip showed a group of federal agents tackling 37-year-old Alex Pretti to the ground and beating him. About 20 seconds in, one of them begins shooting Pretti. At least 10 gunshots go off, from multiple agents, and a person can be heard yelling “Did they fucking kill that guy? Are you fucking kidding me dude? Not again.” (The agents who fired on Pretti have not been charged, nor has ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good on January 7. They have been moved to “other locations,” according to CBP official Greg Bovino.)
The video was upvoted more than 60,000 times, reaching the top of Reddit’s homepage.
That’s an oft parroted line yes. Back in the day (pre-2015 for clarification) subreddit mods could add you as a mod without your consent. That’s what happened.
Not that this excuses reddit for hosting child porn to begin with.
He did also award violentacrez with a unique “Pimp Daddy” award, however.
If you’re giving spez the benefit of the doubt, that’s what happened.
spez is shit enough without fabricating more shit. Being accurate is worse anyways: He was admin of jailbait. Still had admin access rights before his official return too.
Spez is bad enough that he doesn’t need people defending him. It was his site at the time and it was set up as he liked it.
Don’t act like it was reluctant or against his will. It was neither.
