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."

What the fuck is it with Mormons and Facebook, anyways? I swear they're the only people I know who still use it regularly. You'd think being on Facebook four hours a day sharing potato salad recipes or whatever was one of old Joe Smith's revelations, up there with polygamy and doing the 10% of your income to the Church thing

We have a lot of old people and a lot of family. And the local ward usually puts their announcements on Facebook. Mix that together, and many of us use it.

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

you mad bro?

That's what I get out of it. He heckled them enough that they killed him. Didn't deserve a soviet execution.

I'm thinking that the Salt Lake City FBI glowsty was simply bored and wanted some shooting practice. Second tier FBI offices largely don't have much to do unless it's a university town and they're screening applicants for FBI/CIA or Foreign Service jobs. As I noted, low hanging fruit, an easy way to get good publicity from the lugenpresse. The fat old Mormon fires a few shots in the glowz general direction and gets ventilated. This is what happens when you fedpost too fucking much on a data aggregator like Facebook.

I was kind of wondering why Facebook didn't remove the fedposting, especially the stuff with threats of violence in it. Or just straight up ban his account. Somehow I thought they came down hard on that kind of thing, especially pictures holding guns, etc.

All of that shit is stored in gornormous data centers run by the US military. They comb through it regularly looking for fucktards/internetz tough guys they can make an example of for lugenpresse asspats.

IIRC, the NSA has a yuge datacenter in Utah, and the Feds employ a good chunk of Mormons.

 

[SIGSEGV]

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

I'm the one who shot him.

 

[The handsome tard]

They've been straight=up assassinating people since Kennedy. This shouldn't come as any surprise.

At least they bothered making a bullshit narrative that people would be called crazy for poking holes into for the decades to come.
This? Didnt even bother with that shit. Either they got lazy/prideful or they know they cant be stopped at this point.

Pretty sure there were/are a shit ton of lefties posting on social media saying they are going to kill [Insert Republican/Conservative/Anti-Globohomo here] with various lethal weapon as a residence of the state. I know for sure Trump got a boat load of death threat whenever he visited a place during his presidency. Currently DeSantis is getting the same level of "im gonna kill u w/ my own bear hand bigot!!1!" and yet he never sent the state police to beat the living shit out of them.

I recall even Chris Chan was in on that trend back then. People had to remind him that threatening the president isnt covered by the first amendment and he could get investigated.
He simply wasnt for the same reason Nintendo and Sega never bothered to sue him, he really isnt worth the time and effort.

I've been thinking this over, and I wonder if the point was to scare the living fuck out of all the Mormons in the Corridor who are fedposting about Biden and Harris and the random grab bag of libtards. Run your fucking mouth long enough and we'll fuck you up, and we won't give a flying fuck how highly your bishop thinks of you. (In the Mormon hierarchy, a "bishop" is the rough equivalent of a parish priest to Catholics.) Yeah, the local glowiez are Mormons too, but we have literal targets to meet. After all, the first media the glowz alerted was the Fox affiliate in Salt Lake City. For some reason, the libtard lugenpresse got a hold of it-either NBC or ABC-and it flew. I don't think the glowiez in SLC expected it to break out of the Corridor.

 

[Falcos_Commisar]

This boomer nigger made even your biggest fedposter look sensible. This chad was posting "I'm going to *REDACTED* the president of *REDACTED* with a *REDACTED* model rifle next week" on top of a laughing emoji background. At least use "in minecraft" Grandpa.

I'm going to try to grab the posts and will edit them in later.

Edit:
The only way these would have been funnier was if he had a minion one.

Sad as it is, this guy was a fucking retard who fucked around and found out. Posed his arsenal on Facebook (stupid) and kept making pretty direct threats.

Aka dude was a complete fucking retard who basically killed himself.

Simpler and more likely answer, fat old retard can't shut the fuck up and the local Feds have a pretty reasonable concern that if they show up he'll start shooting.

They show up and..... He starts shooting and then gets wasted.

Sorry but direct threats against a President are a crime and yeah if they seem credible you're going to get a visit from the feds.

Some people are just really stupid and can't think straight when they're mad about some stupid bullshit. This guy was probably one of those.

Why not just pick him up and church? Why drive into his house with flashbangs and such? I'll tell you why, cause it was a flex and it's stupid dangerous shit like this that's going to be what causes problems.

This is similar level fuck-up as Waco, just a lot smaller scale.

They had been tailing him for months. They KNEW he was a barely-mobile old fat fuck. They could have had local cops take him quietly.

Glowies 100% wanted to make an example of him.

Jesus, is this some boring American suburbia or Marines ready to stage raid in Fallujah?

 

[Power Appreciator]

Okay but can we all agree that "In my dream I see Joe Biden's body in a dark corner of a DC parking garage with his head severed and lying in a huge puddle of blood. Hoorah!!!" is a great random_txt.txt

 

[Glock 19 Gen 5]

They're just randomly throwing flashbangs at the house at 6am sitting behind their armored transport? Incredible work FBI. Brave. Inspiring.

 

[The Nothingness]

This Waco remake is not the same as the original.

 

[Anne Hyroe]

this motherfucker needs to worry less about right-wingers and more about the millions of dollars his about pounds he needs to lose.

FTFY

I'm the one who shot him.

Fedposter to glowie, tale as old as time.

It’s to die for.

I know, I just couldn’t help myself.
