Finneas tells conservatives to ‘Shut the f— up!’ after Alex Pretti killing

Finneas O’Connell, Grammy Award-winning producer and brother of Billie Eilish, slammed conservatives on social media for what he called a hypocritical response to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent.

O’Connell tells conservatives to ‘shut up’ three times in one go Instagram reel She shared it with her nearly 5 million followers on Sunday.

His remarks came after Pretti, 37, was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis on Saturday. The incident was the second fatal shooting involving a federal officer this month.

In a fiery video, O’Connell criticized conservatives who routinely accept school shootings as a toll on Second Amendment rights but now point to Pretti’s legal firearm to justify his murder.

“The conservative argument for allowing school shootings to continue has always boiled down to: ‘We should protect the Second Amendment, we should let people carry guns,'” O’Connell said.

“Oh, some little kids die, that’s okay with them. It’s an incredibly convincing argument,” he continued. “Every argument I saw yesterday for why Alex Pretti’s death was justified was like, ‘Well, he had a gun.’ Shut up—shut up! You told us for 30 years that children had to die before we were legally allowed to carry guns.”

“This man was being beaten until he was crushed on the ground,” the producer said. “He didn’t draw his gun. He legally had a gun on him and they shot and killed him. So shut up!“

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating whether Border Patrol agents thought they were being fired on.

New York Post It reported that the accidental discharge of the Sig Sauer P320 pistol Pretti was holding after being taken from an agent may have led authorities to believe their lives were in danger.

O’Connell argued that conservatives have long argued that such deaths are an inevitable cost of protecting Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

“You told us this had to happen. It needs to continue. Children continue to die for us to carry guns. So shut up!”
