SALT LAKE CITY
A Utah man accused of making threats against President Joe Biden was shot and killed by FBI agents hours before the president was expected to land in the state Wednesday, authorities said.

Special agents were trying to serve a warrant on the home of Craig Deleeuw Robertson in Provo, south of Salt Lake City, when the shooting happened at 6:15 a.m., the FBI said in a statement.

Robertson posted online Monday that he had heard Biden was coming to Utah and he was planning to dig out a camouflage suit and "clean the dust off the m24 sniper rifle."

The posts indicated he did appear to own a long-range sniper rifle and numerous other weapons, as well as camouflage gear known as a "ghillie suit," investigators said in court records.

Robertson also referenced a "presidential assassination" and made other threats against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and New York Attorney General Letitia James, court documents state.

"The time is right for a presidential assassination or two. First Joe then Kamala!!!" authorities say Robertson wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post included in the filings. No attorney was immediately listed for Robertson in court documents.

No further details were immediately released about the shooting, which is under review by the FBI.

Biden is in the middle of a trip to the Western United States. He spent Wednesday in New Mexico, where he spoke at a factory that will produce wind towers, and is scheduled to fly to Utah later in the day.

On Thursday, he's expected to visit a Veterans Affairs hospital to talk about the PACT Act, which expanded veterans benefits, and hold a reelection fundraiser.

Given the general mindset of these people and the consistent fear of "they are coming for us" that their propaganda entails, it is reasonably likely he did pull or otherwise made to attack/prepare to attack. But yeah, we should wait to get the details.

Of course, if he does turn out to have tried to shoot them, and they even have body cam and everything, it will still just be a "conspiracy by the deepstate" to those sorts of people.

This is crazier than the last guy who tried to shoot a president.

And the last guy who tried to shoot a president did it because he thought Jodie Foster would go out with him if he did.

Or at the least there would be a lot more stories of them killing right-wing extremists when the vast majority involve successful arrests.

If I'm not mistaken the one previous to this with a shooting was the guy who tried to literally attack the FBI office.

Right-wingers feel like they should never be held accountable for anything they say so they're always amazed by the consequences of their actions negatively affecting them.

I realized upon rereading my topic title it is a bit confusing.

The man was killed during an warranted arrest in regards to threatening Biden, he did not threaten to kill Biden during the arrest, leading to them killing him.

Everybody so far seems to have understood that, just wanted to inb4 the jokesters.

Heh, I figure that was probably quite a few people. I barely realized it after reading the most recent post, seeing my title, and thinking "wait, wtf?"

My bad, fortunately people have taken the initiative to actually read the article.

The rabbit hole goes deep. Putting aside my personal thoughts on their intelligence, they may also simply believe that there are powerful people out there fighting the deep state in powerful ways.

And well, the fact that Trump is STILL not in prison kinda gives a conspiracy-addled mind an actual, real leg it can desperately stand on, no matter the necessary logical fallacies and things to ignore that are required.
