I get what you’re saying but he was shot from behind while on his knees. It was “execution style.”

Nah. We call "execution" the act itself when somebody doesn't give a chance to the victim to fight back but they use their weapon, against an unarmed person in an inhumane, unlawful, purposeful manner with the goal of ending their lives! Words don't only mean one thing one way. You didn't know that?

True

Certainly murder, but also . . . Summary executions have been practiced by governments and paramilitary organizations during both peacetime and war, and is usually associated with war crimes and political persecution. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summary...

True, but right now a ton of ICE are out there living their personal Judge Dredd fantasies and they will need to be held accountable for their actions.

Thank you for clarifying these terms.

Let’s be clear, if a state has ‘execution’ as a penalty on statutes, it already feels that you are alive at their discretion & they can take your life with impunity & without any consequences-evidenced by fact that death penalty is applied arbitrarily & especially likely if you claim innocence

Alex's parents should know who the cowards are that murdered him. That is the least they are owed. These murderous thugs need to be prosecuted.

Technically, it’s a summary execution…but, murder works too…

Executed

Really? Is that on video?

Not murdered. Executed gangland style in front of many witnesses with phones recording the act. Alex Pretti was pepper-sprayed, brutally beaten and ultimately executed because he was up close recording the actions of Trump's thugs. A cellphone camera was the "weapon" which triggered the murderers.

Executed! Assassinated! He was shot in the back like 6 times.

Our BBC has gone right wing I'm sorry to say. They have been excessively platforming far right Nigel Farage and Reform for years. No surprise they won't call a murder a murder.

I'm going with executed.

He was EXECUTED.

Thank you

When the feds are pulling the trigger

I’m being semantic, but both are passive. If you really want the sentence to be active, it should be, “Border Patrol Agent Murders/Shoots Man (Dead)” It is “riskier” for sites to do this though, as “Agent Murdered” gets into potential libel territory. “Shoots dead” is accurate though.

Executed.

State sanctioned MURDER. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Congress where the fuck are you, shut this all down!

He was executed.

Alex Pretti was a true Patriot who served his country unlike the Cosplaytriot State sponsored terrorists who took his life and their draft-dodging despot cult leader.

They tried to say he had a gun. He had a permit too, but now it looks like the leaders have taken that right away.

WTF 🤬😡

If my late Mum was here she would have said…he’s got a kind face. ☺️ He did and his last act was kindness, helping the woman who’d been pushed over by those evil, heartless men. 😢

My America is gone. RIP Alex Peretti

Say it like it is. I'm over the trump washing and propaganda. ICE, DHS.. MURDERERS. MURDEROUS THUGS. TRUMP PARDONED GANGBANGERS FOR HIRE GESTAPO.

It's not just Trump, Noem, & the Goon Squad with blood on their hands. Thune and Johnson have blood on their hands too.

He isn't an illegal alien. They had no business even looking at him. They are supposed to pick up known illegals the lawful way. If ice would act responsibly, none of this would be happening. Where are the people in charge. Do they really know how to run this? NO.

Murdered.

Executed

BBC should know better than anyone www.history.com/articles/ss

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller and Gregory Bovino, are minions carrying out the orders of these people hiding behind the curtain. Don’t let them hide. Let them know, we know who they are. No rest for the wicked.

Executed.

First a man of color. Next a LGBTq white woman. Then a white man. What’s next? Little Children ?? Is that when ‘we’ all wake up ???

Nazi execution is fitting!

The US govt’s policy just became that it’s lawful for law enforcement to murder Americans for legally carrying a gun with a concealed carry permit. 2A advocates, that tyrannical govt you kept 😭ing that you needed your guns to protect yourselves from is now murdering you for exercising that right.

Thank goodness social media can correct the reporting of a highly credible foreign news organization like BBC. Frankly, without reading the accompanying article, I would have had no idea. /s

And big bad Trump wants to protect the protestors in Iran, the entire world is watching this on BBC and beyond

Gibbs must go, BBC News needs to grow some balls!

Erm, how's about 'executed'? Too strong?

Agreed..and executed suggests a degree of legality…..he was murdered

Executed

Fuck tRump and his murderers

#itcouldhavebeemMe

Murder.

Executed.

Murdered by unidentified masked men presumed to be federal agents. No law enforcement agent should be masked without proper visible identification

How many more? #ICEoutNOW #DmpTrump

It is time to march on DC

"Murder" is a legal judgment. "Shot dead" is accurate reporting, until such time as a court rules on the shooting - if it ever goes to court.

"Executed" is also accurate.

@icegov.bsky.social @usarmy.bsky.social

Attn: ICE If you have nothing to hide, release Petti's phone and the video he was taking when he died.

We've known for ages whose side BBC News is on.

EXECUTED !!!! THIS WAS AN EXECUTION

Agree, and it’s frustrating, but publications should not issue a verdict without due process.

It is highly illegal for the Trump administration to make speculation about #ReneeGood and #AlexJeffreyPretti murders by #ICE! That is for lawyers and taints an investigation! But we saw the murders of an innocent mom and nurse with our own eyes! We will not fund mercenaries

Exactly what I’ve been saying. They weren’t executed. That makes it sound judicial. They were MURDERED

Reminds me when people say trump had sex with kids. That implies consent. I always correct them and say he raped children.

💯 Christopher. “Execution-style killing” equally as apt.

We must not forget the innocent murdered victims by this Trump #DHS or the totally incompetent people #Republicans nominated to run this country and be our designated leaders...watch for #Republicans to nominate an #SurgeonGeneral who is not a medical #Doctor too! & a few stupid #Democrats

he was executed

I'll accept "shot dead" as it is accurate and not passive. "Killed" also works. It's the "has died in a shooting" crap that is absolutely unacceptable.

*executed.

Framed and crucified.

In coming months, as facts come to light and fascist thugs face justice, I would expect sources like BBC News to report the murder convictions and call the crime what it was. Meanwhile, they will probably use broader language that reflects the limited scope of what they know with absolute certainty.

👍

You can go so far as to say he was executed just like Renee good.

Hungover and angry

🤬🤬🤬

Apparently the First, Second, Fourth and Fifth Amendments of our Constitution don’t matter if you don’t worship the King.

Exactly

ICE agents sprayed chemical agents in Alex Pretti's face, knocked him to the ground, took his gun away, held him down and shot him several times. INTENTIONAL PREMEDITATED MURDER. JD Vance, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem are accessories after the fact and must be charged with conspiracy to commit murder

... Three words FOX News failed to say. "License to Carry" ...

Yes we have to get on ABC. Call them out. Every head misleading.

Murdered in cold blood. So many nuances to that phrase.

Executed is the term we are looking for.

Executed is the word

5calls.org Gives phone numbers and scripts for relevant Congress members. Resistbot Text a message and it gets sent to your reps. good as a follow-up to a call. Action Alerts (e.g., ACLU) These come when votes are imminent ChatGPT: How stop funding ICE Call officials wth power to stop this

NATIONAL GENERAL STRIKE ACROSS America. This is the ONLY way to stop the fascist authoritarian MAGgAt fox news administration.

💯

"Government" and "administration" are also feelgood euphemisms for this regime. And 47 days of training don't turn out "law enforcement officers". There's a lot of headroom for reporters to paint the real picture.

Let's try to honor Alex Pretti (who was clearly murdered by Trump's walking violations of the Constitution) all across America. Looking for a way to do so this week in Central Virginia? Here's one . . . bsky.app/profile/vafo...

Scratch that. EXECUTED.

Just a reminder to those who are supporting this: On Sunday you worship an innocent person that was killed by the state. Monday through Saturday you worship the state for killing innocent people.

Like others here point out he was executed. He was restrained, unarmed and shot in the back by a coward insane clown enforcer. It’s not like Alex pulled his gun in a western style draw. They had him restrained and could’ve just arrested him. Instead they executed him.

There's a reason why I call the Mainstream media “ShillNN.”

Former sniper reveals what actually happened.. Gestapo!! www.instagram.com/reel/DT7y2KT...

Executed!

True. Flooding the zone still works, even when trying to stay within the facts. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I mean the fact that we have to check sometimes because we know this is the type of crap Grump would tweet just shows that after trump we are going to need some intense healing

Phone in one hand. The other hand raised above his head. Essentially unarmed and murdered by ICE

Executed unjustly

Again, I agree with you! And that "Unalived" term is ridiculous. That is irritating!

They are killing heroes bsky.app/profile/badi...

murdered in cold blood while being held down by other nazi officiers. that is exactly what happened here.

Gotta disagree (for once) but on technicalities. Murdered is also passive, and is a judgment that is the purview of a real judge. Let's not do what the other side does

They shot another innocent person in Minneapolis. This is terrible. They are the ones causing the uproar not the citizens of Minneapolis. Trump is doing this to take our attention away from the Epstein files.

How about brutally and wantonly murdered?

UK media will tell you that a car hit a wall, or a child, seemingly without the aid of a driver.

Alex Pretti & Renee Good were murdered!!!

Dear MAGA: youtu.be/emBeG526UYA

Need the names of all those involved! Need their faces shown.

I'd go as far to also use the word "purposely." He was "purposely murdered" in order to facilitate the State to hand over their voter roles. This is coordinated mayhem in order to subvert the midterm elections. The Great Experiment is on life support. It has come down to We the People to save it.

He wasn’t murdered, HE WAS EXECUTED.

That was 💯% MURDER

ALEX AND RENEE WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL ICE TRUMP ARE ARRESTED

Executed
