A recap of events leading to the killing of Alex Pretti
By Michael Wood
PEACHTREE CORNERS, Ga. | In moments like this, clarity matters more than rhetoric. What follows is not speculation, but a summary of what is known—because the minimum obligation in the face of state violence is to bear witness.
On Saturday morning (Jan. 25, 2026), Alex Jeffrey Pretti was standing on a public street observing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents. Like many legal observers, he was recording their actions with his phone.
At some point, a DHS agent approached Pretti and began pushing him backward. Moments later, multiple agents converged on him.
Video footage shows Pretti on the ground while a group of agents assaulted him. One agent appears to strike him in the head with a firearm. Then, at point-blank range, an agent shot Pretti. Additional agents fired as well. Within seconds, Pretti lay motionless on the pavement while at least one agent continued firing. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
That alone would constitute a grave incident. What followed deepened its severity. Some of the DHS agents involved attempted to leave the scene. When local law enforcement arrived to investigate, DHS agents reportedly tried to prevent them from accessing the area and urged them to leave. Soon after, information was leaked to Fox News claiming Pretti had a gun.
DHS issued a public statement asserting that Pretti approached agents with a 9mm hand gun, violently resisted disarmament, and posed a mass-casualty threat. Border Patrol official Greg Bovino repeated these claims, framing the killing as self-defense.
Available evidence contradicts that account. Local law enforcement confirmed that Pretti held a valid concealed-carry permit and was legally allowed to possess a firearm. No video shows him brandishing or touching a weapon. Instead, footage shows him holding his phone in his right hand, with his left hand empty, moments before he was pepper-sprayed while attempting to assist another observer.
Despite this, Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller publicly labeled Pretti a “domestic terrorist” and an “assassin.” In reality, Pretti was a registered nurse working in an intensive care unit at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
The government did not merely kill a citizen in public, in daylight, before witnesses. It then sought to justify the killing through falsehoods and character assassination.
This incident does not stand alone. Less than three weeks earlier, DHS agents killed another Minneapolis resident, Renee Good. Rather than pause, investigate, or reform, the agency surged hundreds more agents into the city and escalated its use of force.
The killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti was not a misunderstanding or an isolated tragedy. It was the foreseeable result of a policy choice—one made after prior deaths and reinforced through denial and propaganda.
The Trump Administration has removed Greg Bovino from Minnesota and sent the so-called border czar, Tom Homan, to head up DHS operations in the state.
Maybe, just maybe, those changes will halt the most heinous actions of these out-of-control federal agents. That would help the situation, but it is far from enough to stop the un-American behavior of Donald Trump’s masked agents in our country.

Trying this may just lower your blood pressure
By Elliott Brack
Publisher, GwinnettForum
JAN. 30, 2026 | Have you noticed what type of movies are coming out of Hollywood these days? For sure, the new Hollywood loves action, often with numerous explosions and mayhem. Also, horror, zombie, terror and fantasy movies are always around, as are chases of all kinds. For sure, murder mysteries continue to thrive. But what happened to cowboy movies, or courtroom dramas, all the rage a few decades back?
Other types are the sci-fi efforts, animation, thrillers, documentary and experimental films. Still being filmed are crime, sports, superhero and martial arts genres. Romance movies come along every so often, though not as many as before.
What’s generally missing from Hollywood today?
Happy movies.
You want an example? How about Oh God? John Denver and George Burns are great, and though somewhat a sensitive subject, they pulled it off well. (And how about that vintage Ford Pinto station wagon?)
Of course, some would say that the way the world is these days, there’s very little “funny” going on. But perhaps some solid movies that made us laugh out loud more would be good for all of us in these days.
Take a look at some classic happy movies. We’re talking of sensations like Mel Brooks’s The Producers. What a laugh! The blowout scene of “Springtime for Hitler in Germany” stole that show.
Of course, there are not many people who come along with the talents of Mel Brooks, and his sidekick, Carl Reiner. These two gave us lots of wonderful funny movies, like Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles, High Anxiety and others.
How many of you saw that Irish classic, “Waking Ned Devine?” What a show, and cast, of real people! Can’t you see the naked guy on the motorcycle speeding down the road, and that classic funeral scene?
Then there was Forrest Gump, starring Tom Hanks, based on the novel by Winston Groom, some of it shot in Savannah. What a whirlwind of a story that was that kept you happy. Surely, we need more like that.
Another film, Moonstruck, kept us laughing. With actors from Cher, Olympia Dukakis, Nicolas Cage and Vincent Gardenia! With these, great fun was guaranteed.
Other movies giving us laughs include Groundhog Day, My Cousin Vinny, The Big Lebowski, A Fish Called Wanda, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (and other Python issues).
A few more: Death at a Funeral, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, A Night at the Opera (slapstick), The Odd Couple, Tootsie, When Harry Met Sally, M*A*S*H, and Support Your Local Sheriff.
What we liked about It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World was its great cast in this zany adventure. Our favorite loud voice, Ethel Merman, was on key again. Wow, can she belt it out, dialogue or song.
Some may have laughed at Caddyshack. We thought that really was a seriously dumb, useless and not funny movie. But it is still around. Nor did we feel entertained by Borat. Not my cup of tea.
What is good today is that with streaming television, many of these can be watched on your television without costing you a penny more. It’s a way to enjoy streaming services, so take advantage of it.
Tonight or some day, pull up an older comedy movie, and escape the everyday morass. About any of those above will do, and lower your blood pressure with your laughing.
What’s your favorite comedy movie? Let us know.

New cities drive up cost of government
Editor, the Forum:
On Jan. 1, 1952, the City of Atlanta tripled in size by annexing areas including Buckhead, Adams Park, Southwest Atlanta, Lakewood, and parts of Northwest Atlanta all the way to the Chattahoochee River. This provided Atlanta with a stronger tax base to fund city services, infrastructure, and growth while giving annexed areas access to city services (water, sewer, police, fire) without having to form their own governments.
This was viewed at the time as a model for future development. As surrounding rural areas suburbanized, Atlanta would annex and use the increased tax base to fund/provide city services.
Fast forward to 2026. Matters didn’t work out that way.
When the Democrats controlled the Georgia General Assembly, any attempts for cityhood were stymied by placing restrictions on new cities located near existing ones. This was in response to efforts to incorporate what is now the city of Sandy Springs.
When Republicans took over the General Assembly at the turn of the century, attitudes changed and Sandy Springs was incorporated on December 1, 2005. It was a landmark event, sparking a wave of other incorporations throughout Metro Atlanta. Since then, ten new municipalities have been added with more on the way. Today, north Fulton County is entirely made up of six cities.
What is the impact of all these incorporations? Using my hometown of Norcross as an example, one major impact is the increased cost of city personnel. Competition from all these new municipalities has made it difficult for Norcross to hire and retain employees. The Department of Community Development has seen at least five directors come and go over the last couple of years. In response, the city has revamped (upward) salary and benefit packages. This is a worrisome trend for a six square mile city with less than 20K inhabitants. Note: we now have a Community Development Director and city finances are currently sound.
Local self-governance, the promise of better services with an emphasis on fiscal conservatism were big selling points for city incorporation. Can the “Sandy Springs model” of efficient, low-tax governance prevail over the long term? With the continual incorporation of new municipalities, the answer is doubtful.
– Jeff Hopper, Norcross

Historical Society presents awards, honor First Families
By Amelia Porter-Lewis,
Gwinnett County Historian
The Gwinnett Historical Society presented their annual awards to honor dedicated volunteers, groups, and individuals who contribute to the preservation of Gwinnett history. The awards ceremony also included the induction of new members into the First Families Program. This Program has three tiers to acknowledge how far back into the 1800’s an individual’s family lived in Gwinnett. The gold tier families lived in Gwinnett to the 1820; census; silver tier goes back to 1830-1850; and bronze tier goes back to 1860-1880.
This year six new members were inducted into the First Families Program. Two members received the Gold tier and four received the Silver tier. These new members are descendants of the Loughridge, Brogdon, Clower, Bennett, Bradford, and Young families. To find out more about the First Families Program, visit the Gwinnett Historical Society’s website at https://www.gwinnetths.org/
The Gwinnett Historical Society presents four awards annually, beginning with the Whitworth-Flanigan Award. Named after two of the previous County Historians, this award recognizes recently published books focusing on Gwinnett History. This year the award was given to Dr. Catherine Lewis for her book, Above and Beyond: The Mason Family and the Transformation of Gwinnett County. Her book focuses on the many contributions and public service of brothers Jimmy and Wayne Mason and how they shaped the County. Former Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairman, Wayne Mason, and his family accompanied Dr. Lewis to receive the award.
The next award for Distinguished Service was given each year to a Gwinnett Historical Society volunteer who went above and beyond in service to the Society. This year, the award was bestowed posthumously to Francis “Frank” Steurer, who served the Society for many years, lovingly preserving and caring for the Elisha Winn House property in Dacula. Frank also served his country in Vietnam in the Marine Corps. Betty Warbington, chair of the Elisha Winn House Fair, presented the award to Frank’s wife of 55 years, Loretta.
The Phyllis and Marvin Hughes Preservation Award is named after the couple who painstakingly preserved the Isaac Adair House. This year’s recipient was the Haynes Creek Cemetery Committee. Haynes Creek Primitive Baptist Church was founded in 1826, and the Cemetery Committee was established in 1947 to care for and preserve this historic burial ground.
The Society’s President’s Award is given to an individual selected by the Gwinnett Historical Society president. Current president, Jason West, bestowed two President’s Awards this year to Cammie Mansfield and Brian Boggs. They have contributed to the preservation of Gwinnett history and assisted the Society on numerous occasions related to their jobs with Gwinnett County government, specifically the Society’s recent office renovation.
Exhibit at Norcross Gallery continues until Feb. 7
The current exhibit at Norcross Gallery and Studios, Driven to Abstraction, continues through February 7. It is an eclectic, colorful showing of members’ works in a variety of media, some straightforward and some requiring closer thought and consideration to discover their meaning.
A reception will be held on February 1 from 3 to 5 pm. Outstanding works in this exhibit are noted abstract artist Terry Stone’s Community in which he experimented with geometric shapes, a blend of blues and greens inviting viewers into a tranquil city. Kathryn Heller shows her versatility and imagination in a departure from her usual media of detailed pencil drawings, displaying an intriguing photograph, It’s Here … Somewhere which appears as an abstract work of art, until closer observation reveals the tracks of an unknown being. Quiet Arc by Traci Kruger is a colorful, calm but fascinating portrayal of a cat. She says, “In painting this piece, I kept the form of the feline as a foundation and allowed the image to dissolve into abstraction. Soft edges and gentle curves reflect the relaxed looseness of a cat at rest.” City Turning Radiant is artist Barbara Fraher’s large, bold abstract showing a big city as lights come on, brightening the scene.
The Greatest Sentence Ever Written, by Walter Isaacson
From John Titus, Peachtree Corners: The author has written several biographies, been the editor of Time magazine, the CEO of CNN and the Aspen Institute. In 2023 he was awarded the National Humanities Medal. Just published, this small book examines the famous second sentence of the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Isaacson analyzes the sentence word by word, how it was crafted, what other documents were its sources, what it means, and how we can honor its values in our time.

Michael Fred Adams
Michael Fred Adams, a distinguished American political staffer, educator, and academic administrator, passed away on Jan. 25, 2026, at the age of 77. Known for his transformative leadership as the 21st president of the University of Georgia (UGA), Adams left an indelible mark on the institution and higher education in the United States. His tenure at UGA, from 1997 to 2013, was characterized by significant growth in enrollment, faculty, fundraising, and campus facilities, elevating the university to national prominence.
Born in Montgomery, Ala., Adams began his career in public service as a staffer for Senate minority leader Howard Baker and later as a senior advisor to Tennessee Governor Lamar Alexander. His transition into academia saw him serve as a professor and vice president at Pepperdine University before taking the helm at Centre College, where he successfully completed a major fundraising campaign and expanded academic programs. His leadership at Centre College laid the groundwork for his impactful presidency at UGA.
During his 16-year presidency at the University of Georgia, Adams oversaw a period of unprecedented expansion and academic advancement. Enrollment grew substantially, federal research expenditures nearly tripled, and the university’s endowment saw significant growth. Under his guidance, several new colleges and academic units were established, including the School of Public and International Affairs, the College of Environment and Design, the College of Public Health, the Odum School of Ecology, and the College of Engineering. His vision also led to the creation of a medical partnership with Augusta University, forming the foundation for UGA’s School of Medicine.
Adams’ presidency was marked by an ambitious vision for higher education, focusing on the transformational power of education to improve individual lives and communities. Despite facing some controversies, his leadership is widely credited with elevating UGA’s national reputation and solidifying its position as a leading public research institution.
He received numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, including over 50 awards in higher education, recognizing his significant contributions to the field. Michael F. Adams is survived by his wife, Mary Lynn Ethridge Adams, their sons David and Taylor, and three granddaughters.

Lane was prominent banker, civic leader
In the 1950s and 1960s, Mills B. Lane Jr. played an important role in Atlanta’s political development and economic expansion. As president of Atlanta-based Citizens and National Bank (C&S), Lane pioneered innovative lending practices and earned national prominence for the bank, while financing much of the city’s physical redevelopment. It was in Atlanta’s political arena, however, that his impact was perhaps most keenly felt.
Working behind the scenes as a political insider, Lane leveraged his influence to promote good government and progressive candidates, and helped to build an institutional framework capable of resolving municipal disputes.
Mills Bee Lane Jr. was born in Savannah on January 29, 1912, to Mary Comer and Mills B. Lane Sr. After graduating from Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1934, he accepted a position in Valdosta as a clerk with C&S bank, which was founded by his father in 1906. Lane married Anne Waring, and the couple had two children, Mills B. Lane IV and Anita. (Mills B. Lane III was Lane’s nephew, his brother’s son.) Lane IV would go on to found the Beehive Press in Savannah.
It was style as much as substance, however, that distinguished Lane’s leadership at C&S. Ever the showman, he amused and sometimes confounded observers with attention-grabbing stunts that might have seemed more appropriate at a carnival than at a bank. In order to promote Georgia’s wool industry, for example, Lane once herded a flock of sheep into the bank’s main lobby. To promote teamwork, he arrived at official bank meetings wearing baseball and football uniforms.
After teaming with Ivan Allen Jr. to broker a desegregation compromise between members of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and student demonstrators in 1960, Lane managed Allen’s successful campaign for mayor the following year, and did so again in 1965.
During his first term as mayor, Allen sought to lure major league baseball to Atlanta. A handful of owners expressed interest in relocating their teams to the city, but without a suitable stadium, negotiations reached an impasse. With few other options, Allen turned to his old friend Lane, who extended the city a full line of credit to finance construction of a stadium. In April 1965 the Atlanta Stadium (later Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium ) was completed, in less than a year. The Braves agreed to move their franchise from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the following season, making Atlanta the first southern city to have a major league ball club.
During his heyday at C&S, Lane enjoyed a reputation throughout Atlanta for boundless optimism and a relentlessly positive approach to banking and boosterism. However, a series of personal crises toward the end of his life undermined Lane’s pleasant disposition, leaving the banker despondent and bitter in old age.
Lane left C&S in 1973 after suffering two heart attacks and diminishing eyesight. Economic conditions in the city worsened thereafter, and the bank underwent a period of severe financial distress. Richard Kattel, Lane’s handpicked successor, was ousted by federal regulators in 1977, but many observers linked the bank’s travails to decisions made during Lane’s tenure.
Upon retirement, Lane returned to Savannah, where he devoted his time and wealth to a handful of philanthropic concerns, including Savannah’s historic district, Armstrong State University, and the Georgia Council on Economic Education, which he helped found in 1972. Lane died on May 7, 1989.

Can you spot the location of this traditional building?
Today’s mystery is of a traditional building, and your job is to place exactly where it is. Send your thoughts to ebrack2@gmail.com and include your hometown.
The recent mystery was solved by several people, including George Graf of Palmyra, Va., who said: “This image shows the ornate, restored cast-iron fence of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria. Through the railings, you can see the tower of the Vienna Rathaus (City Hall) in the background.” The photo came from Chuck Miller of Southeast Railway Museum in Duluth.
Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, added: “This is part of the ornate, wrought-iron fence that surrounds the Volksgarten Park, in the historic city center of Vienna, Austria. The neo-Gothic tower that is visible through the fence is called the Rathausmann Tower, and is the central tower of the Vienna City Hall (Rathaus).
“The Volksgarten Park (“People’s Garden”) was the first public garden created by Emperor Franz I of Austria (1768–1835) after Napoleon’s troops destroyed a portion of the old city fortifications in 1809. Prior to Volksgarten, all gardens were created for the exclusive use and enjoyment of the imperial royal families. Designed by architect Louis (Ludwig) de Remy (1783–1861), Volksgarten officially opened to the public on May 1, 1823. However, the intricate wrought-iron fence, which is painted with a deep red color and gilded, gold-leafed, decorative elements, was added during the later half of the 19th century, around the time of the Ringstraße boulevard’s creation and the final major expansions of the Hofburg Palace.”
Also recognizing this photo were Susan McBrayer, Sugar Hill and Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.
