It would take an inverted universe to say Pretti, who walked towards ICE armed with a hidden 9mm Semi-Automatic pistol tucked in his waistband. If he had just stayed home instead of going out of his way to confront ICE he would be alive. t’s better to whittle down the state through normal political means of legislation, advocacy, and education than outright resistance.
It would be wrong to call this arrangement a “social contract.” But it is a social truce between individuals and the state. Most people do not want illegals on their streets. And remember: Laws are enforced by guns. After all, if you are not willing to accept federal agents’ guns going off in the context of immigration enforcement, you should question the many other state mandates that could ultimately be enforced with deadly violence.
