Gun Influencer Brandon Herrera Blames Killed Activist for His Own Death
Brandon Herrera,a gun influencer with over 4 million YouTube followers,stated in a video posted on January 26,2024,that while the death of activist Wilmer Pretti was unfortunate,Pretti was ultimately responsible. Herrera made thes comments in a video posted on YouTube.
“Pretti didn’t deserve to die, but it also wasn’t just a baseless execution,” Herrera said. he further claimed, without providing evidence, that Pretti intended to disrupt U.S.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. “If you’re interfering with arrests and things like that, thatS 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.” Herrera characterized the situation as “lawful but awful.”
Former police officer and fellow gun influencer Cody Garrett,known online as Donut Operator,joined Herrera in the video. Both influencers used the chance to criticize immigrants. Herrera stated,”every news outlet is going to jump onto this as it’s current thing and they’re going to ignore the 12 drunk drivers who killed you know,American citizens yesterday that were all illegals or H-1Bs or whatever.”
