The Brother Bruce… is at it (again) — in the fine tradition of Woody Guthrie — and Pete Seeger.
More than 2.8 million people have heard/downloaded it, in just under the first 24 elapsed hours.
Updated: Overnight, the malign liar Hinderaker would ask us to believe that Mr. Pretti’s confrontation with ICE agents, eleven days earlier… justified his killing. What a disgusting piece of crap John Hinderaker is. At law, that is…irrelevant. And all it really suggests… (if we are to credit the idea that the ICE thugs knew about the prior encounter) is that the ICE agents probably “targeted him” — if they recognized his face. That is, they chose to execute him, for having the temerity to oppose them, ten days earlier. Jesus, John. Get your sh!t together. End, updated portion.
And so, back to the main point: this man — Springsteen — is an American gem:
…Came Trump’s private army, from the DHS. . . through smoke and rubber bullets, in dawn’s early light… citizens stood for justice — their voices ringing through the night….
Trump’s thugs beat on all, in the frigid air… then we heard the gunshots, and Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead….
We will remember the names of those who died, on the Streets of Minneapolis….
Indeed. Onward, resolutely.
