Andrew Mauder, a resident of Provo, Utah, said his neighbor Craig Robertson, 75, was a nice guy, a bit weird, who sometimes treated people the wrong way.
“He had his views, which he displayed on Facebook, but he came across as a harmless old curmudgeon,” he told The Salt Lake Tribune.
Robertson died this Wednesday at the door of his house from the shots of the FBI. Special agents came with a search and arrest warrant, after that man issued repeated threats to kill President Joe Biden, who was precisely arriving in Utah that day. They knew he had a sniper rifle.
“I have heard that Biden is coming to Utah. I've dug up my old camouflage suit and dusted off my M24. Welcome, chief jester,” she threatened.
This radical of Trumpism and "democrat annihilator", as he defined himself, listened to his leader and, like him, poured out his anger against the FBI. "Idiots, I know you read my post, you don't know how close your agents are to the bang, I'll wait for you," he once assured. According to the official version, that's what happened. He was waiting for them, armed and opened fire.
His comments on the network had been known since March. Facebook communicated his hate messages in which he threatened to go to New York to end the life of prosecutor Alvin Bragg, who in April indicted Trump for falsehood to cover up the bribery of a porn actress.
Biden was informed of the case. “This is not just about rhetoric, this is about the actions that can sometimes come with that rhetoric,” said John Kirby, a White House spokesman.
