I’m waiting 72 hours, maybe 96 since 72 lands on Sunday.

A ridiculous way to handle a stupid blowhard threat on social media.

Why not just arrest the guy in broad daylight?

Curious - anyone protesting and shouting “defund the police!” for this?

The guy was in his house, wasn’t on the street, it wasn’t dark or a case of mistaken identity, wasn’t on drugs, wasn’t running, didn’t have hostages, wasn’t trying to pass counterfeit money, hadn’t punched a cop.

But he DID make some angry posts online.

Better to shoot it out with them as it may rally others to do the same as you surrender you are dead meat anyway.

In fact, there are no reports from the FBI that Robertson started shooting at them. Not one.

Yet.

What about being a fat, old cripple would keep him from pulling a trigger?

The sheriff in Waco said David Koresh stopped at the market to buy three gallons of milk every day on his way home to the ranch. They were on a first name cordial basis. The sheriff volunteered to take him into custody. The FBI refused and wanted their murderous raid. The sheriff was disgusted in their mindset.

I post this regularly, in the hopes some national politician finally says it publicly:

In January 2025, on his first day of office, Trump should issue an executive order disarming the FBI - they shall not hold, possess or train on any firearms or weapons of any kind.

The will continue to do their investigative and counter-espionage work as normal

If in the rare case they expect violence or need to make a raid, they can coordinate with local police and/or US Marshalls.

It is a first step until the nation decides what the true role of the FBI should be. Armed wing of America’s KGB? Or investigative arm assisting states in solving crime?

Question: How many people have Federal LEO killed over threatening Presidents Reagan, GHW Bush, GW Bush, or Donald Trump?

Answer: Its a trick question. Federal LEO never kill anyone for threatening Republican Presidents.

A fat old cripple makes for optics at arraignment that speaks for itself.

huh, they could have surveilled the guy and arrested him when he went to get groceries. but instead they decided to off him.

strange.

and wow, it is AMAZING how his social media history was SUDDENLY completely available to the media...so unlike the leftist perps arrested (or not) during the riots of 2020, or the Nashville girl who killed the kids at the school.

Stunningly the feds can find and release all sorts of info on a supposedly “MAGA” white guy. In Utah. Where Biden just happened to be going, you know Utah—a state Biden has no chance of winning (the Democrat fraud machine isn’t oiled enough for that state...yet....)!

The guy killed by the FBI yesterday for “threatening Biden” was 75 years old, 5’4” tall and weighed 300 pounds, and walked with a cane. I don’t care if he posted crazy threats on the internet and owned guns, anyone who would think that he posed a real threat should have their head examined.

James Thomas Hodgkinson was 5’6”, 202lbs, and 66 years old when he shot up a bunch of people at the Republican congressional baseball practice.

Do you think pulling a trigger is some kind of physical feat?

Several neighbors said his body remained on the concrete for two hours as blood soaked through a white sheet paramedics placed over him.


Will there be riots in Provo over this? I ask because the supposed cause of the outrage after the ‘Gentle Giant’s’ demise in Ferguson was ‘disrespect’ shown towards his body by letting it stay on the ground for hours.

- Why not just arrest the guy in broad daylight? -

Because it's much more fun to bust into the guy's house and blast away. That way they get to show us how tough they are. /s

When you need to walk with a cane and often need help getting out of your chair, yes tracking down someone and getting into position to fire is a physical feat.
