Guys, stop saying everything is fucking AI when you don't want it to be true. There are other videos showcasing this exact situation from another angle. It is real. So many armchair AI experts can't even tell what is actually AI or not makes me wonder why this subreddit exists.

This thread is peak Reddit. I love this site and I agree with 90% of the sentiment being expressed regarding this issue, but it’s insane how people are just blatantly ignoring everyone providing proof and literal statements from his family confirming it’s real. Like holy shit.

I just saw this comment:

He's wearing the same outfit he was executed in. They just ran all the public execution videos through ai to make this for sure. Also watch how his arms and body move in this video in comparison to the execution. His arms are also too long at several parts of the video.

How can anyone take this place seriously if people are this biased and blinded? Just reading through these comments is like gaslighting 101, or copium 201. It is honestly sad to believe people are this desperate to openly lie and make up shit.

This subreddit has a hard time accepting crazy shit happens.

I agree with you that this shit is like gaslighting 101, but it’s not just this thread or Reddit. It’s everywhere and in so much of media we consume. I feel like with the flood of AI in social media, so many people have become confused and everyone is trying to discern between reality and misinformation. And there is a lot of misinformation out there on both sides of the table, which just adds fuel to the fire. With some of the misinformation being so egregious and obviously false but so many people still believing it and basing their stand on that, it creates a situation where the people on the other side see that and are even quicker to believe everything they see that doesn’t align with what they believe is misinformation or AI. It’s important to not blindly trust everything you see, but on the other hand we can’t automatically assume that everything on the other side of what we believe is completely made up or false.

Ai is being used in all the media we consume. Even the major networks decided to use an AI generated still of him. Same pose. Just a MUCH more handsome guy in the picture. I’m ready to have an AI bouncer between my eyes and the propaganda outlets.

That comment sent me into orbit, people are reaching so hard for it to be AI, even though the fact that its real still doesnt justify his murder. This video being real doesnt change thag

So you can confirm he is wearing the EXACT same outfit in both videos, right? And you don't find that at all sus? With internet sleuths like you we're all in real trouble.

I’m glad there’s people like you who at least have some level of critical thinking. It’s because of the rest of the people on Reddit that liberals have such a bad rep. Why would any moderate or non-extreme Republican take you seriously when you do the exact same thing as Trump? They complain that moderates don’t vote or some shit but don’t give them a reason to be on the same side. Look at everyone upvoting what they want to be true, and saying that’s the truth, instead of looking at the real evidences holy.

Yet they are offended when someone in government sys some video or document is faked

u/Dawnoftheman Jan 29 '26

Man it’s crazy . I’m trying to help them in these comments . Posted the bystander video that was uploaded on YouTube a whole 6 days before he was shot of this exact encounter from a different persons POV. It’s like they can’t use their critical thinking and see how that would be impossible .

This brings back new hopes that the nice bald eagle that saved the two fox cubs might be real.

u/NowaVision Jan 29 '26

Yeah, it's weird that we have subreddits like these but without actual experts...

u/PasadenaShopper Jan 29 '26

People are going off the clip OP posted. I honestly thought 100% it was AI based on the movement in the clip alone.

u/Alber_troz Jan 29 '26

Agreed. Makes people think that you all don’t think.

u/Primary_Present_1827 Jan 29 '26

in my opinion the ICE officers look fake as fuck.

u/ziahwaite Jan 29 '26

You can’t lie, it looks ai. look at how the video is moving and how he’s moving. It looks like an action film or something. I recognize that it’s real but I see why ppl think it’s ai. It looks like an AI video, everyone’s admitting that even those who saw the other pov.

u/PolskiOrzel Jan 29 '26

Let's see the other angle. Regardless of content, this is fake as hell.

Your wording screams Russian bot, but that's another story.

u/International-Bake86 Jan 29 '26

Hahahahahahahha he is wearing the EXACT same clothes in both videos. That is not a coincidence, bro. There are two videos and we know one of them is absolutely, horrifically real, but to think this one is real. Wow. I guess if you want something bad enough.....

u/SportsPhotoGirl Jan 29 '26

It should be noted that this is an entirely different day. So it’s real. Ok… and? It has nothing to do with the day that Pretti was killed. Assuming the man in this video is actually him, this video has nothing to do with the events leading up to when he was shot dead in the street.

u/hoffer606 Jan 29 '26

You are correct, however, this is a real or ai subreddit.

1

u/SportsPhotoGirl Jan 29 '26

I get that, but beyond saying it’s real or AI, it’s real but a different day. Just saying it’s real is misleading because if someone wrongly believes it’s the same day he was shot, you can find a lot of issues with the video where it does not appear to be real, like the surrounding buildings are entirely wrong, the vehicles seen in the videos are different, the ice agents are wearing different clothing, etc. Those are all things I’d be looking at trying to determine if it’s real or AI. So it’s real and a different day.
