Which America to choose: Alex Pretti's or Greg Bovino's?
By Nicholas Kristof / The New York Times
This is the story of two men who embodied opposing visions for America.
Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse gunned down by federal agents, represents one set of values. Gregory Bovino, who until a few days ago commanded federal agents in Minneapolis, represents a different set.
A nation cannot be reduced to two men, of course, but perhaps their choices can clarify our own. Do we want to live in Alex Pretti’s America? Or Gregory Bovino’s?
Pretti loved mountain biking and the outdoors and had a deep concern for social justice. Colleagues describe him as having been warm and empathetic.
