Craig Robertson, who the Salt Lake City FBI killed in an early morning raid today, is already becoming a conservative rallying cry after reports revealed him to be
“about 80 years old with limited mobility.”Deseret News spoke with local resident Cooper Robinson, who told the newspaper that he was walking his dog early in the morning. He saw “several unmarked vehicles, including an armored truck” blocking the street. According to the complaint, the FBI was executing search and arrest warrants over death threats Robertson made to public officials, including President Joe Biden.
In one, he wrote, ““I HEAR BIDEN IS COMING TO UTAH. DIGGING OUT MY OLD GHILLE [camoflauge] SUIT AND CLEANING THE DUST OFF THE M24 SNIPER RIFLE. WELCOM, BUFFOON-IN-CHIEF!”
Robinson told Deseret News he heard agents yelling “Craig Robertson, please come out with your hands up,” then what seemed to him to be the sound of “three or four flashbang grenades.”
Robinson said that he heard “shouting and some yelling, I couldn’t pick out what they were saying. But at some point I did hear five shots fired.”
“I don’t really care who’s president,” Robinson told Desert News. “I don’t think it’s cool to make threats like that, whether they’re legitimate threats or not … I’m just hoping that the FBI has some more evidence besides Facebook posts to want to raid his house like they did.”
