"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…
Why do you say that? Do you think an obvious grift like truth social isn’t going to be play nice with the government? Why would any action they do hold more weight then something like facebook, reddit or lemmy?
I imagine they put him down like a dog after he said that. I also imagine they just killed him first and made up that statement afterwards. Who’s going to contradict the crazed armed murderers, not the dead guy I can tell you that, just ask Fred Hampton.
it’s a really bizarre story, I can’t find a single article explaining what actually happened. usually the cops lie and say he drew a weapon on them, or shot at them first, or they feared for their lives or something. there’s nothing with this, they’re just saying he’s dead.
It all boils down to, there used to be subbed crazy idiot mouthing off to his phone. Then the cops came and now there’s a dead body.
This is what’s on the table with cop interaction, they’re going to kill you. They know the game better than you, they’ll always find a way to justify it and you’ll be too much of a rotting course to care.
They’re taking away his right to free dreams.
One less fascist symp voting in 2024.
Anybody who downvoted your comment can go suck an eeeeeeeeeeeeegg
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 mindGuy just wanted Biden to live up to the legacy of the first Catholic president
ok this is epic
Bury that miserable thing and set a porta-potty on the grave.
Good for them!
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.

Vs.
Chad Biden
- Has guy who wrote dumb threats against him online killed
- Strikes fear in the hearts of his enemies
Yeah, umm… what did he think would happen when he threatened the life of a sitting president?
a death sqaud in a banana republic … psychic evaluation in a civilisation ?
Right? The US government kills people for no reason all the time and this guy thinks he’ll be safe after giving them a reason
It’s worth pointing out that the victim probably isn’t in social circles where the government killing people for no reason all the time gets much attention. Hyperreality is a serious thing, the guy’s worldview probably makes it seem like free speech exists, unless it’s a bad slur on facebook dot commie.
I mean what was supposed to happen? Are we meant to be scared of the FBI? They can’t even take down an overweight elderly man with a combover…

The guy openly posted that the FBI wouldn’t dare raid him because they’d get a 45 ACP in the face. I’m no law enforcement apologist but that kind of boast can put people on edge. Specific threats of violence should never be acceptable.
I also prefer my threats of violence to be vague and unactionable.
I’ll see you soon.
Not if I see you first.
My god you are such a troublesome priest…
I’m not a priest, buddy.
I’m not your buddy, pal
hog on hog violence, you love to see it!
“Next up on Fox News… The libs have weaponized the FBI and are executing innocent conservatives for exercising their freedumb of speech!”
That was already aired months ago, this will just be a follow up story that they use as “proof”
Yes, the parties of Capital use the state-monopoly on violence to enforce the status quo. How old are you that you don’t realize this?
lol dumbass didn’t even add “in Minecraft” to his posts
Completely forgot this was a thing lol
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.
“Opening” is quite an interesting word in this context
No video, no proof that he threatened them. Innocent until proven guilty should be clear that this ought to be read as an extra-judicial killing
He must’ve forgotten to add “…in Minecraft.”.
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 were never into law and order.
They were just into law beating and brutalizing black and poor people.
He never said they were. He said they pretended to.
They’ve always backed conservative cops enforcing conservative laws against “other people” but letting conservatives off with a warning.
They still are.
“Law and order” is a racist dog whistle.
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?
And yet here were are in a thread about the state murdering someone over words and liberals are falling over themselves to “back the blue” hardest.
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.
What you mean that won’t STOP them? That actually STARTs them again!
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.
What word did you try and use there?
it was cu nt, it’s only censored on hexbear
Or from producing more of them.
He was posting over and over on how he’d kill the prez, the veep, and Alvin Bragg for months. The one that finally did him in was talking about sniping Diamond Joe. They paid him a visit, and he got squirrelly on 'em.
Thats just the official story. What actually happened was that dark biden’s Cyber-Brain picked up the threat, so he used his lazer vision while at a rally in New Mexico to vaporize him.
The media is totally censoring the thousand mile long lazer beam the president shot out of his eyes. They have the footage, but they are too afraid to tell the truth, because then the Clinton Mutant Teenage Turtles will kill them.
Read all about it on that guys truth social page.
Dark brandon strikes again!
