what he was doing, was purposefully bringing a gun to a dangerous fed op repeatedly, and provoking and inviting harm onto himself, because he felt a sense of martyrdom. he rehearsed violating laws and putting the public in danger, until he finally got what he wanted.
I believe that the rule for psychiatrists is to never offer comments about psychiatric condition unless one has examined the client themselves? Do we even have any knowledge that Mr. Pretti had psychiatric diagnosis? Where does the assumption come from?
Do we have any information coming from Mr. Pretti’s behavior that even hints at his suicidality?
He was divorced, had a family, had many friends, a new car. He lost his dog a year ago but usually people mourn and with time, adopt a new one. Not when ICE is attacking one’s city.
To me, Mr. Pretti’s behavior is the normal one for a person whose city has become the unwilling host to masked border patrol agents.
I, on the other hand, have my questions about Mr. Bovino based on the articles from good sources but I doubt that any psychiatrist has met him in person.
The commander of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis is leaving the city after federal agents fatally shot two people in less than three weeks.

And these raids on LA? This is on video. Bovino’s words.
“Legal is no moral”
“You are on camera…otherwise that’s what we do”
“It is our f@@@ing city” - about LA.
Now, all I can suspect that for a Californian Mr. Bovino, LA was “his” city. While Minneapolis in winter was nothing but!
Using his love to WWII history, as evidenced by his famed attire - Minneapolis became his Stalingrad.
But I won't stand down when it comes to victim blaming and someone clearly attempting to distort the truth. jmo
