US FBI agents fatally shoot Provo man accused of threatening President Biden's life, among others - It wasn't clear how long the FBI had been monitoring his activity, but he'd apparently been contacted before.

Law enforcement, including FBI agents, are seen Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2023, outside the residence of a suspect who was shot and killed during an attempted arrest early that morning. According to federal court documents, suspect Craig Robertson posted multiple threats on Facebook against the life of President Joe Biden in the days leading up to Biden's arrival in the state.

PROVO, Utah (KUTV) — Federal agents on Wednesday fatally shot a suspect who made multiple threats on Facebook against President Joe Biden's life, as well as the lives of at least two others others listed in federal court documents.

The shooting happened as agents while trying to serve arrest and search warrants at a Provo residence early in the day, according to the FBI.

An FBI spokesperson stated the incident happened at approximately 6:15 a.m. on Aug. 9, when special agents attempted to take Craig Deleeuw Robertson into custody near 400 North and 1200 West.

According to a redacted felony complaint filed in U.S. District Court, an arrest warrant was issued for Robertson after he threatened to kill an undisclosed number of FBI agents, made online remarks about his plans to kill the New York County District Attorney, and posted he would be using his sniper rifle when the president arrived in Utah.

In fact, Robertson made multiple threatening posts about the president on his public Facebook profile - still active as of 1 p.m. Wednesday, less than four hours before Air Force One was scheduled to land at an Air National Guard base in Salt Lake City.

Nearly all his recent posts were dedicated to his thoughts on Biden, save for a select few that attacked Hunter Biden, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, actor Whoopi Goldberg, and Democrats in general.

In his most recent post, Robertson stated he had a dream about seeing "Joe Biden's body in a dark corner of DC parking garage with his head severed and lying in a huge puddle of blood."

He adds: "Hoorah!!!"

He referenced shooting the president multiple times, including a Facebook post he crafted Tuesday and then reshared shortly afterward - something he did for many of his more egregious threatening posts.

"Perhaps Utah will become famous this week as the place a sniper took out Biden the Marxist," he wrote just after 6:30 p.m. Aug. 8., which he then reshared 10 minutes later.

It followed a post on Monday, also referencing being a sniper:

"I hear Biden is coming to Utah. Digging out my old ghillie suit and cleaning the dust off the M24 Sniper Rifle. Welcome, Buffoon-in-Chief!"

It wasn't clear how long the FBI had been monitoring his activity, but he'd apparently been contacted before.

On July 27, Robertson posted a message to his Facebook feed, directed at the FBI:

"Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again."

The circumstances leading up to the shooting on Wednesday were not immediately disclosed.

"The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously," according to the spokesperson. "In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide."

I only hope that somebody hacked this geezer's FB account, and that the REAL sniper is still out there, waiting to ventilate some government niggers.

This is horrible, terrible, I'm definitely not laughing my ass off at his EXTREMELY DEFINITELY NOT FUNNY posts which are VERY NOT GOOD, thank god the brave FBI agents trained by Lon Horiuchi stopped this legitimate threat to OUR DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!

I remember when W was president, there was an actual Hollywood movie about a fictional assassination of him, literal murder fan fiction of a sitting President, and nothing happened to the directors, producers, or actors. The Utah guy was clearly a retarded schizo boomer, but the double standards the feds take is pretty obvious.

Plot twist: he was a disgruntled FBI agent.

Robertson had been under FBI surveillance for a number of months, according to a federal criminal complaint filed Tuesday. He was charged with making interstate threats, making threats against federal law enforcement and making threats against the president.

Neighbors who spoke with the Deseret News described Robertson as a markedly different person than what he portrayed online. One person called him a “teddy bear” known for his woodworking who would sit in the same seat at church every Sunday; another said he was barely mobile, weighed nearly 300 pounds and was unable to walk without a cane. He would drive to church, despite it only being about 200 yards from his home, because he had so much trouble moving around.

Neighbors also described a harrowing scene, with dozens of agents converging on the Provo house, rifles drawn and hiding behind bulletproof shields, as flash bangs exploded.

“I just can’t believe that this man warranted that kind of response,” said Travis Clark, who lived up the street from Robertson.

The neighbor who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said they were shocked by the police presence, and disturbed by what they saw after the shooting.

“I understand they have procedures that have to be followed. But having his body out there for so long when there’s kids in the cul-de-sac ... they could have done more. Because he was bleeding through the sheet,” said the neighbor who asked to remain anonymous.

Authorities have not confirmed whether Robertson had a weapon or whether he fired any shots. The New York Times, quoting a federal law enforcement official speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Robertson was armed at the time.

Seems to me they wanted to make an example of a MAGAt.

Good going, jackasses, you just made the next Vicki Weaver.

Old man posts online and the FBI executes him, meanwhile niggers burn down entire cities and the media calls it the summer of love. Clown world is some dumb shit.

The FBI shot an old man while he slept. That's my story until I see otherwise. And if a video proves me wrong, Jewish Holl tricks.

So, do you think he had an account here? Ah who am I fooling, it was @SIGSEGV.

Garth Ennis ("The Boys" guy) made a whole comic about a Russian soldier assassinating W with some boomer tier rifle from the first world war. All because the US military in the comic was bombing civies in Afghanistan (why a former Soviet soldier would care, no idea).

I'm really torn between "Based! What a legend" and "what a fucking idiot".

EDIT: kind of seems like the fedpost version of suicide by cop based on his posting history. That or he really wanted the opportunity to kill a glownigger.

the only thing was missing him taking some of them with him. Look old geezers when you are doing suffering and want to get suicided by cop at least take one or two with you . Even a dmv drone would do.

The circumstances leading up to the shooting on Wednesday were not immediately disclosed.

this is the most important part of the story, and no information is given. and how convenient that there are no witnesses. where are the bystanders with their phones out.

if cops are required to wear body cams, so too should the feds.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

feds trying to groom a bommer into shooter but instead, got shitposted to the point they just straight up killed him

you mad bro?

 

[Positron]

Tough guys chime in.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

Both rage pigs should be held to the same standard. Both Bob and Fatrick have done way more threats over the years.
