Do normal people go to "vigils" for people they've never met? I really don't understand that phenomenon. Must be a leftist thing.

This is Jessia Hauser. These are her words about Alex Pretti - the man killed by I.C.E. yesterday..
"I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.
Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.
It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.
Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.
I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.
Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.
Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal."

Rooke: Sob story for mother who got tear gassed with kids at protest starts to unravel
The media spun a narrative that Destiny Jackson, a 32-year-old mother of six from Minneapolis, and her family were innocent bystanders when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deployed tear gas under their car.
<<<SNIP>>>
She said her family pulled over because a road was blocked. They were supposedly trapped by escalating chaos and couldn’t drive away before the tear gas hit. She admitted that her husband left the vehicle, but said only to assess the situation. She also said she left to find her mother, who was attending the protest. (Sign up for Mary Rooke’s weekly newsletter here!)
New video footage, first reported by Crime Watch Mpls, shows Jackson and her husband, without their children, lingering at or near the protest site for at least 45 minutes. Jackson is heard engaging with protesters from the same livestream, saying, “We’re going to kill these motherf**kers,” reportedly saying this about ICE agents in response to a question about whether protesters had weapons or guns. Jackson later claimed that her comments were sarcastic and that she believes that “shooting and killing people is unacceptable.”
