Chip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"

...and then they were still spooked enough to empty their clips into his corpse. ICE/BP agents have 0 self control and a less than zero ability to competently do that job. But hey, they're making their quotas.

So once again there are no standards or expectations upon the "professionals" to handle a situation professionally. It is all on civilians to act in a manner deemed appropriate by ICE, or they should expect to die.

I don't think anyone should have guns and yet it turns out that I'm still a stronger supporter of the second amendment than most Republicans

The victim having a weapon isn't what got him killed. Video shows an ICE agent taking Alex Pretti's weapon out of its holster and throwing it in the street, prior to the gunfire. Chip is quick to blame the victim, but I wonder if he can see anything improper that ICE agents are doing in the video.

Was he supposed to tell them he had a permit to carry in between the chemical agent to the face and the pistol whipping to the head? Or was he supposed to yell, "I have a gun! and a permit to carry" as he approached the street? Chip Roy talks about what could have happened if due process mattered

Chip knows, but is being disingenuous about it, that ICE are not following rules. They are arresting citizens, arresting and abusing minors and not giving them access to lawyers. Totally abusing their power. The timid journalists from American MSM are not going to press this point.

As he’s being beaten, pepper sprayed and tackled to the ground, he’s supposed to say “wait I have a gun”….and that would STOP them??

What's the proper procedure if the nice law enforcement officer shoves you to the ground, peppersprays you, and unloads his firearm into your body at close range before you can offer him your documentation? What then, Chip?

Please someone tell me that Chip Roy is rightfully being roasted by his own gun-totin’ constituents over this ridiculous statement, which is belied by 2A pronouncements on his *own website.* I refuse to give his socials any traffic.

Alex didn't get stopped. He didn't get questioned. He got jumped because he was carrying a phone and helping a woman. GFY Chip.... Alex was executed by fascist twats who will face retribution on day

Bullshit. As someone with a license to carry a concealed firearm let me just say this is bullshit. You don’t mention your concealed gun. So long as the cop doesn’t know it isn’t an issue. The minute you mention the gun it becomes an issue.

If Chip Roy had been in that exact same position, he’d start saying he’s got a permit and reaching for his ID and ICE would swarm him, wrestle him to the ground, disarm him, and shoot him dead. They don’t care what you’re supposed to do.

Reckon Chip mcdickface could do any of that after being pepper sprayed & tackled? Can we test that while also giving him the same head cracking treated that the victim had? Fuck Chip.

He wasn’t stopped in a vehicle. This is just the second version of the justification for murder. They shot him 10 times after his gun was removed.

He wasn't given the chance to show them anything, and we don't know what he might have said and never will because they don't wear bodycams.

Tell chip roy to sit down and shut the fuck up , the innocent man murdered by ice was not given the chance to say or do anything, they attacked him while he was trying to help someone else, he had his phone in one hand and was holding up his other to stop a thug

No you didn't see that because he was trying to help someone and the Gestapo sprayed him right in the face twice he didn't see anything or knew what was happening to him they jumped him he couldn't say anything asshole if you were a hero you'd stop this, you would do what you were sent to do. WORD!!

I'm so tired of Republican legislators, Fox News, etc and their bullshit. ICE needs to go, DHS needs to go as both serve no purpose other than to put their authoritarian thumb on America.

So now it’s the guys fault for not yelling “I have a gun!” as MULTIPLE armed men are attacking him? Because that would have helped the situation? That many men shouldn’t have even needed any weapons to protect them from one small man.

Ya no shit. At what point in time did the officer give him an opportunity to have a conversation about why he was putting his hands on him? If anything that guy was trying to protect himself from the Trumpstapo.

Please tell me which part of what happened to him is an official stop. He tried to stop a thug hitting or pushing a woman again, got in the way, was tackled and beaten, and then shot. Where in that sequence should he show his ID, Chip? You idiot

"I have a gun!" is not the smartest thing to say when the cops are pepper-spraying and tackling you. But let's have Chip Roy try that shit out.

Ultimate privilege to watch how quickly things escalated in that video and even think “Well if you just calmly explained the situation to the officer…”

It only works if you’re white no wait Okay white male no shit Oh only if you’re a white male Senator. You’re a lawyer. Based on evidence I’m not sure the Constitution allows white male Senators to physically stand up to an enforcement officer right. Sure I read that somewhere in the 28th amd..

he was literally helping a woman up off the ground... what weapons disclosure should have been required.... the left needs to reclaim the 2nd amendment after this. the flag is ours and so is a well regulated militia.

Propaganda station. Subvert, lie , ignore, spin. Should have had any broadcast license revoked due to fraud decades ago. Absolutely pansy regulation from FTC and previous administrations. In no small part responsible for the US of today.

DHS claimed he was brandishing a weapon. Video shows Alex was NOT doing that. Pretty sure if Chipper gets stopped he makes sure LE knows ‘who’ he is first. An average US citizen w/legal conceal carry, no criminal Hx who is already on the ground w/ICE goons beating the shit out of you? Get real!

Chip Roy is gaslighting people into believing that you can have a dialog with ICE agents at this point, whom apparently are enforcing laws in an unclear way.

Philando Castile did exactly that, Chip, and he's dead now. A basic qualification for police service is that an officer can behave calmly when they hear "I am legally armed" from someone whose behavior is not threatening.

Rachel had an archbishop on her show defending the immigrants. Not one word did he utter about "Kavanaugh stops" or about the other Catholics on the SCOTUS who are undermining our democracy by turning a blind eye to this administration's policies.

Same for an Episcopal bishop on Amanpour who said he has spent many hours in prayer and in silence. NOW is not the time for silence. I think they showed that he had a vigil to Charlie Kirk. He said Renee Good might also be a martyr. And, what is he DOING ABOUT IT?

He isn't responsible for all Catholics. Catholics are no different than everyone else. Some are bad and some are good. The church is officially against what Trump and ICE are doing.

These guys are Kyle Rittenhouse. Go somewhere, pick a fight, shoot someone, blame them for getting in the way of their bullet. Like Rittenhouse, even if that guy did something (which he didn’t), it’s still ICE’s fault because they stayed a fight

Fuck you Chip Roy,the man they executed didn’t have a chance to say anything. They disarmed him and shot him 9 times as he laid on the ground. Take your trump loving bullshit and shove it up your fucking texas ass!!

He should know that open carry laws vary from state to state. In some states you are not required to tell law enforcement you have a firearm.

Chip Roy is an idiot you are not required, by law, to notify law enforcement you have a weapon on you, but required to disclose if asked if asked if you have a permit to carry. As for Texas you are required to tell law enforcement you have a weapon on.

What you think you saw? C’mon now, Chip. We all saw the same thing. Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, fatally shot by ICE. Also, I know a good ophthalmologist if you want a referral.

Now do that while pinned to the ground by 6 thugs shouting conflicting orders in your face with guns drawn. Your being purposely obtuse and you know it.

Oh he didn’t recite the correct Second Amendment magic password so is fair game for execution? The NRA forgot to send out the script I guess?
