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?
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.
Yeah, umm… what did he think would happen when he threatened the life of a sitting president?
"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.
The messages continued as late as Tuesday, when he posted: "Perhaps Utah will become famous this week as the place a sniper took out Biden the Marxist."
The world is lesser now that we have lost this great mind
Guy just wanted Biden to live up to the legacy of the first Catholic president
inb4 he's turned into a martyr.
This is just the first step of Biden's ethnic cleansing of white cishet Christians.
Virgin Putin
Vs.
Chad Biden
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.
Reminds me of the guy who tried to break into a secure building with a gun , became frustrated by the bullet proof glass, and then hid in a field in the middle of his shoot-out with the cops to post some updates about his shoot-out.
This kind of guy is just going to become a thing in American culture now, I guess.
Honestly if there wasn't going to be innocent people caught in the crossfire, I'd be all for right-wing nutters starting shootouts with cops to be a thing. Hearing about a dead 
or an 
on the news wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
Not even a gun. It was a fucking nail gun. Half-assed approach to domestic terrorism these days.
hog on hog violence, you love to see it! 
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.
"Next up on Fox News... The libs have weaponized the FBI and are executing innocent conservatives for exercising their freedumb of speech!"
In bad country you can be punished or even jailed for talking about government officials. Not here in America though.
Oh no….anyways.
Well if it isn't the consequences of your own actions. Good riddance.
Well well well.
if it isnt the consequences of his actions.
