"Brandon Herrera, a prominent gun influencer with over 4 million followers on YouTube, said in a video posted this week that while it was unfortunate that Pretti died, ultimately the fault was his own. "Pretti didn't deserve to die, but it also wasn't just a baseless execution," Herrera said, adding without evidence that Pretti's purpose was to disrupt ICE operations."
""If you're interfering with arrests and things like that, that's a crime. If you get in the fucking officer's way, that will probably be escalated to physical force, whether it's arresting you or just getting you the fuck out of the way, which then can lead to a tussle, which, if you're armed, can lead to a fatal shooting." He described the situation as "lawful but awful.""
Brandon Herrera, a gun influencer with over 4 million YouTube followers, said Pretti's death was unfortunate but ultimately Pretti's fault. He alleged without evidence that Pretti sought to disrupt ICE operations. Herrera argued that interfering with arrests can provoke officers to use physical force, which can escalate to a tussle and, if someone is armed, a fatal shooting, calling the outcome 'lawful but awful.' He appeared with former officer Cody Garrett, known as Donut Operator, and both men derided immigrants. Herrera invoked Kyle Rittenhouse, and critics pointed to perceived hypocrisy in defending Rittenhouse while condemning Pretti, who had a legal carry permit.
