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.
“But why did the FBI shoot down this antifa Soros plant?”
They just want to take 'er guns!
You forgot to call them 'jackbooted thugs'
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.
The plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan.
the guy that showed up at obama's place with weapons, too. and there's a lot of right-wing hate causing disturbances not directly at leaders that are written off as just more violent crime rather than hate crimes or politically motivated crimes.
That time a Republican mailed bombs to a bunch of Democrats and Jews.
Was mostly FedBois, the 4 goons who got arrested had a supporting cast of 20+ members of Federal Law Enforcement. They paid for travel, put together meetings with other people and groups, and helped them plan it.
News is constantly reporting on people being arrested for threatening officials. I disagree that this is being treated any differently than those reports.

Now check the coverage on daytime crazy righty talk radio. Check their outrage influencers.
I don't want to jinx it because it may still happen, but it's an outright miracle a straight up war didn't break out at any of these events like Charlottesville
This is why I don't think anything happens at that organized a level without a huge financial backing behind it. The common person wants a war. The rich don't but they want to utilize the anger the common man has. Everything that happens at a high level of organization is due to a handful of people investing time and lots of money into it. Regular folk can't organize themselves enough to get things to a sustainable level. It takes tons of social media manipulation and rubbing elbows with influencers to do podcast circuits and link up with media outlets and blogs to create the stories that keep the flames hot enough to spread.
Arrests do make the news. It is the people who get a visit and a stern talking to that you don't hear about. I'm sure there were more than a few left-wingers who got visits during the trump admin.
✅ 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,”
And nothing of value was lost.
No. Something of value was lost, because this guy didn't need to die. He was brainwashed and fed fear throughout his life which compounded with a lack of clear thinking or education, into a need to project a mask of what he thought was bravery.
Our anger should be directed at the remorseless pieces of shit that build this machine that injects fear into the gullible, and engineers the deaths of people who didn't need to die.
If you find it difficult to empathise with this man, try to imagine that one of your family members went off the deep end and made the stupid ass decisions this guy did. Will you still feel that his death was justified? Will you feel like this was the preferable end to this guy's life?
What a fucking stupid way to die.
Idiot found out, I guess.
FBI:
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.
Womp womp
They overreacted! No one has ever killed a president with a rifle.
/s
I was trying to decide why I thought he was funny looking. I think it's partly the nostrils. What a cretin. I suppose I'd be mad, too.
utah just doesnt spring to mind when I think of extremism, but I guess there's idiots everywhere.
As someone who lives 10 minutes or so from this guy… this place is insane. I’ve gotta get outta here.
Yeah so freedom of speech in America doesn't pay to threating the president. Like they don't fuck around. They will go after musicians who allude to it in music for example. I believe Eminem has had Secret Service turn up at his house multiple times.
I'm pretty sure they'll even track down people who make threats on pseudo anonymous websites like reddit.
It's very common to have limitations to freedom of speech. The most common ones I can think of right now are
- Threats of violence
- Other serious threats
- Inciting rebellion
- Inciting terrorism
- "Hate speech" (usually via one of the above)
- Sharing classified information
