    Sounds like (purely speculation, since the details aren’t available) he pulled a gun on or otherwise threatened the agents coming to arrest him, based on his other behavior. Told them to come back with a warrant, they did so, and he took issue?

    Either way, posting on the internet about assassinating government officials, regardless of whether it’s serious or not, was probably not the smartest opening move.

        They sure are big on traitors and hostile to the rule of law lately.

            The right used to at least pretend to be into law and order.

              They still pretend, they just also pretend that the rule of law is different than what it is.

              You know how many far-righters have “back the blue” and thin blue line bumper stickers?

                Yes the same guys who rant about government tyranny yet defend police (government employees/enforcers) at every opportunity love to also rant about the rule of law unless those rules are applied to them or their current flavor of the week messiah.

              “Law and order” is a racist dog whistle.

              They’ve always backed conservative cops enforcing conservative laws against “other people” but letting conservatives off with a warning.

              They were never into law and order.

              They were just into law beating and brutalizing black and poor people.

      He was posting over and over on how he’d kill the prez, the veep, and Alvin Bragg for months. The one that finally did him in was talking about sniping Diamond Joe. They paid him a visit, and he got squirrelly on 'em.

        Thats just the official story. What actually happened was that dark biden’s Cyber-Brain picked up the threat, so he used his lazer vision while at a rally in New Mexico to vaporize him.

        The media is totally censoring the thousand mile long lazer beam the president shot out of his eyes. They have the footage, but they are too afraid to tell the truth, because then the Clinton Mutant Teenage Turtles will kill them.

        Read all about it on that guys truth social page.

    "The complaint said Robertson came to the attention of federal agents in March after he posted a threat against Mr Bragg on Truth Social, the social network owned by Mr Trump. The company alerted the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.

    FBI agents then visited the suspect, who told them that the post was a “dream” and ended the conversation by saying: “We’re done here! Don’t return without a warrant!”"

    Not only does Truth Social narc on him, but the “dreams” defense was a true sign of just how far gone that asshole was.

        Truth social is in it for the grift, not for the heat. They aren’t really the revolutionary counterculture fortress they make themselves out to be. They just figured out that stupid people are easy to monetize. Which is rapidly becoming MBA canon for all social media.

          Honestly monetizing stupidity if you don’t have any personal morals is exceptionally easy. I often get jealous at the revenues even some of the simplest of these gifts are, and monkeypaw wish I was a shittier person.

            It’s why every scammer goes after old people. They usually aren’t as sharp as they once were unfortunately…

            My coworker just told me a story about his grandmother being robbed of 300k because some asshat came to her house and said she absolutely had to have the roof redone asap or it would collapse on her… She drove him to the bank and emptied her account… I was infuriated hearing about that and that he got away…

        Why do you say that? Do you think an obvious grift like truth social isn’t going to be play nice with the government? Why would any action they do hold more weight then something like facebook, reddit or lemmy?

      I imagine they put him down like a dog after he said that. I also imagine they just killed him first and made up that statement afterwards. Who’s going to contradict the crazed armed murderers, not the dead guy I can tell you that, just ask Fred Hampton.

    Ok so either he drew a gun on them or they executed him. Well it should be cleared up quickly with body cam footage.

    What’s that? No body cam footage?

    Right, then I’m going to have to assume they executed him while he was surrendering peacefully.

    (I voted for biden, but I also don’t trust the fbi to miss a chance to shoot someone)

      I think it’s hilarious that anyone trusts the FBI right now. They have been actively involved in sabotaging progressive groups and socialist demonstrations basically since their inception. And now Republicans have a massice gripe because we have like a dozen agents that say they have been silenced after whistleblowing related to Jan 6th.

      This guy literally directly threatened to kill FBI agentssfyer they came to talkvto him.

          I’m really sorry your feeling that way, no one deserves to feel like the best decision is death. I’ve been there and I wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone. I know you don’t want to hear anyone tell you “Oh just stick it out life gets better!” because if you’re like I was that’s just a fantasy that never comes. But if you’ll take any advice I’d suggest finding something you love to do and just making that your life’s work, don’t worry about anything else. That’s what I did, gave up on everything else and just focused on that for a few years, eventually things ended up turning out alright for me.

              Really? I made a sarcastic comment and then when I realized another human being going through a serious struggle I’ve gone through before I try to show compassion. This is why I said you need to stop caring about all this crap that makes life no
