But pre-dawn raids with full SWAT is designed to send a message to the rest of the MAGAs out there..

Yep, just reinforces the practice of "sneaky is not an option, it's mandatory". Put yourself under a gubbmint magnifying glass then you can end up as the fried ant.

this should come as NO surprise. Remember how much of a threat they perceived Cuban born 5yo Elian Gonzalez to be? They had their weapons drawn and in his face.

I think he was caring for a disabled son, too.

President Joe Biden’s life has superb security in the form of horrible ‘Horizontal’ Harris, Vice President.

And left it there for about two hours.

“It starts with you. Instead of being a skeptic, buy into and invest in the shuttering of the FBI and many other parts of government. Then spread the word and be an advocate for it. Turn other skeptics into advocates. Don’t just keep paying your taxes so the FBI continues to murder and abuse people’s rights.”

Oh, I’m all for it. But I’m also a realist. I have no influence and everyone in my small circle already is on board with the “defund big government” ideology (Conservative). So I’d be preaching to the choir.

Are you advocating that people stop paying their taxes in the vain and lame hope that it would somehow harm or hurt the FBI? Uh...that’s not logical. Not paying taxes has nothing to do with defunding the FBI since it would have to go through Congress... LEGALLY.

The man was 75 years old ,300 lbs and needed a cane to Walk.

Yet, we're supposed to believe he posed a credible threat to Biden's life but that thousands of George Floyd protesters that tried to storm the White House in May of 2020 weren't a credible threat to Trump's life.

It's outrageous anyone would defend this.

Well, we finally heard from Huber:

“No doubt other extremists will look to him as a martyr,” said former Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber, who served in both the Obama and Trump administrations. “These people are very dangerous.”

The old guy was the ward finance clerk. Guaranteed he would be accessible on a Sunday morning at the local ward building meeting with the bishop and and church elders. Every Sunday. Pounding on his home front door with a battering ram at 6 AM was totally unnecessary. It is the kind of thuggery typical of the FBI when Democrats are in control. Waco was a similar S**t show.

The baloney about "access to guns" is ridiculous. That silly 2nd Amendment protects our right to keep and bear arms...including guns. The whole incident reflects the thoroughly corrupt operation of DOJ and FBI in the era of the thoroughly bribed and compromised Joe Biden.

If one looks at what’s been going on with the Feds since the Obama Administration (large arms and ammo purchases for Agencies that seldom if ever require them) it’s pretty plain the Feds have been setting the stage for something we won’t like. All these FBI SWAT raids appear to me to be staged in the hope of causing some type of violent reaction to justify the Fed. Gov’t. doing extreme things to our Constitution/Freedoms.

Beware of false flag operations designed to elicit violence. Hint: BLM and ANTIFA get a free pass on their violence because they are doing the Fed’s work. Jan. 6th smells bad also.

Remember, LEOs serve arrest warrants. FBI SWAT Teams in Full Tactical Gear early in the morning EXECUTE warrants.

That 75yr old 300lb man WAS EXECUTED. There was no way in hell he was coming out of that situation alive. FBI INTENTIONALLY MURDERED him. FBI SWAT Team is an EXECUTION SQUAD plain and simple.

LEOs Murder Dogs. The FBI MURDERS AMERICAN CITIZENS!!!!

It sure seemed like speech was protected if you were threatening President Trump.

My point about taxes was I’ll formed. I just meant your taxes go to pay for it and that alone should be a motivator to shutter vast portions of government.

There’s a hint of suicide by cop in air on this one. I’m wrong more than I’m right but... you just never know.

That the FBI didn’t really handle this all that well is not really in question. They bungled a whole operation - but the motivator behind this individual could be health/fitness, along with a lifestyle motivated death wish. Blaze of glory and all of that....

Just sayin’
