Fox News: Brave patriot shot down by Biden's secret police
I can't even find that they are covering it at all, there is nothing on their front page about it.
We often hear reports about right-wing terrorism in the USA. But how many other incidents like this happen, where the person is caught beforehand? This wouldn’t be a top headline if he hadn’t died, it would be just another story relegated to the bottom of a news site.
I would bet given how many crazy MAGA assholes are out there, and with Trump instigating shit, this is probably happening very regularly right now.
News is constantly reporting on people being arrested for threatening officials. I disagree that this is being treated any differently than those reports.

✅ Found out
Here's the document from the arrest warrant with what he was writing. Dude was a fucking moron.
Also - Truth.social actually tipped off the FBI. Very interesting. I love that it's a honeypot.
This guy actually posted "Merrick Garland u demented weasel send your FBI swat, you won't because I'm a MAGA trumper and I'll fight back" ??? Phew boy, major case of finding out.
Oh wow, that's amazing that it came from truth.social.
LOL, just finished reading the whole document. Its wild, and there's really nothing we can do about stupid. Guy is a perfect caricature of crazy.
Guess they pried it from his cold dead hands.
he was still fairly warm
This is republicans and Trump's fault. They lie to people and get them angry about democrats eating babies or letting men rape children in restrooms. They know that there are mentally unstable people out there and that they will believe them. Trump KNOWS this. And now these brainwashed and programmed people are going out and attacking Trump's enemies. Remember when Trump got Ashli Babbitt killed?
OR maybe this guy was a fascist. Guess we'll find out.
Anyone who hasn't learned about Stochastic Terrorism should expect to hear it more and more going forward.
75 year old nutjob got gunned down on his doorstep.. went out in a HAIL OF BULLETS YEEEHAAAWWW
this is what our corpse actually posted:
“I hear Biden is coming to Utah. Digging out my old ghillie suit and cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle,”
FBI:
What a fucking stupid way to die.
Idiot found out, I guess.
This is why I have to laugh when my firearms enthusiast friends tell me they need assault weapons in case they need to overthrow the government. This guy had a lot of assault weapons. Like tons of them. This is how it turned out. This is how it will always turn out.
