Why didn’t they arrest this guy outside his house, from what his neighbors said he attended church every week.

Name anyone else out of the thousands of people who have threatened presidents over the last 50 years, who were gunned down by an FBI SWAT team.

Guys like LaVoy Finicum and Craig Robertson aren't going to backshoot themselves....

I well remember the Waco Sheriff story. What has always baffled me is why he didn’t stop them or at least slow them down. Local elected sheriffs have huge authority but it seems most don’t realize it. Federal law enforcement can’t operate in a county without first clearing it with local elected law enforcement. Way too much wink wink nod nod goes on.

“Moments later, authorities carried the overweight, elderly man out of his house, placed him on the sidewalk and tried, unsuccessfully, to render first aid, according to the witness. “

If he was bleeding out, why not render first aid where he fell; inside the home.

Well, at least neighbors saw the FBI’s valorous attempts at first aide. And that story can be told over and over.

In the old days, two clean cut men in suits would knock on the door at a sane hour. Now 30 pussies dressed like the 82nd Airborne show up with a tank, grenades, and assault rifles to go after a a man they KNEW was just a frustrated 76 year old, 300 pound disabled man who cannot walk without a cane.

Also, in the old days, they would have simply assigned a couple of men to watch him until Biden left town. He would have never known.

Clowns.

A political execution and we’ll never know exactly what provoked it. But the purpose is to terrorize.

“Meanwhile Antifa can burn cities to the ground and they get rewarded with keys to the city:”

“Vulnerable House Dem brags about plan to transform moderate Blue Dog Coalition into rural Antifa group!”

Rep Marie Gluesenkamp Perez co-chairs the Blue Dog Coalition alongside Reps Jared Golden and Mary Peltola

DEMOCRATS Published August 10, 2023 9:00am EDT

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vulnerable-house-dem-brags-plan-transform-moderate-blue-dog-coalition-rural-antifa-group#&_intcmp=fnhpbt8,hp1bt

A House Democrat who faces a tough re-election bid to maintain her post in Congress has boasted about efforts from her and her colleagues to turn the centrist Blue Dog Coalition into an “antifascist rural” group.

Speaking during a “Postcarding and Conversation” late last month, Washington Democrat Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez – who co-chairs the Blue Dog Coalition with Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, and Rep. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska – said that she and other leadership within the coalition are working to “rebuild” the group after it lost some of its membership over disagreements earlier this year.

“So Jared, Mary, and I actually just took over the Blue Dogs,” Gluesenkamp Perez said during the July 31 event, which was hosted by the Downtown Nasty Women Social Group, a group of so-called progressive activists in New York City, and Markers for Democracy. “They basically lost some of their membership before we came in, and we are sort of rebuilding it into – Mary, Jared, and I – are rebuilding it into this sort of antifascist rural [group].”

Do you know anything at all about rifle shooting?

Look who turned him in:

The FBI investigation began with a tip about the Bragg threat from Trump’s own social media platform Truth Social in March, after Robertson posted about “waiting in the courthouse parking garage” with a suppressed weapon and wanting to “put a nice hole in his forehead.” His account has since been suspended from the platform.

I'm sure someone will explain how the fat old man couldn't shoot from his car, because you know, he had a cane.

So your anti gun? You don’t want people to have automatic guns even for work? This guy was pointing a gun. I’d like the second amendment to take care of that.

Yep - an assassination with a message for MAGA and Trump.

“The local police couldn’t have knocked on his door and taken him into custody, to face the FBI at the local police station? This is how Waco began.”

Funny you mention Waco. A few years before F-Troop launched their great cattle trailer raid, the local McClennan County Sheriff had to arrest Koresh on a murder warrant that arose out of a shootout with the former leader.
Two men in blazers and cowboy hats went out and showed him a warrant, and he surrendered. No muss, no fuss.

But ATF was facing serious funding threats and wanted a big splashy show. So they lied about it being a big dope operation so they could access Fort Hood training and Army hardware. F-Troop always makes it a production.

My 7 year old is a solid shot. Looking for tips?

Cops do this every time they discharged firearms as well. This does not mean the old man was shooting at them.

Even if he did, they made it happen. Two clean cut professional looking men dressed in blazers knocking on your door at 0930 gets one reaction.
A platoon outfitted for Fallujah at 0615, in the dark, wearing masks and Army helmets provokes another reaction.

Time to completely disband the FBI.

There were some that thought Lon Horiuchi was a man's man.

I was not one of them.
