Yeah, umm… what did he think would happen when he threatened the life of a sitting president?

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.
That won't stop the far right from turning him into a martyr
They sure are big on traitors and hostile to the rule of law lately.
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.

They still are.
"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 turned a dumb cunt that jumped over a barricade to rush a bunch of men with guns into a martyr.
They'll turn this guy into The Jesus to Trumps God.
Or from producing more of them.

"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.
You know you goofed when Truth Social turns you in to the feds
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...

At least he went out doing what he loved....... being an idiot.
Another member of Ya'l-Qaeda dusted, and nothing much of value was lost.

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.

Oh no….anyways.
And the world got a little less shitty today. I love seeing Darwinism in real time. I feel bad for the FBI agent that might have guilt from taking a life.
Well if it isn't the consequences of your own actions. Good riddance.
Bury that miserable thing and set a porta-potty on the grave.
He fucked around.
He found out.
Well well well.
if it isnt the consequences of his actions.
Fuck Around
