The initial "news" reports yesterday said the FBI killed Craig Robertson 'while attempting to serve a warrant.'
Well, this video taken by a neighbor shows the way they "attempted to serve the warrant."
Apparently knocking on the door during the day is not something they do in… pic.twitter.com/8BTfRe1DDm

We, the family of Craig Deeluew Robertson, are shocked and devastated by the senseless and tragic killing of our beloved father and brother, and we fervently mourn the loss of a good and decent man. The Craig Robertson we knew was a kind and generous person who was always willing to assist another in need, even when advanced age, limited mobility, and other physical challenges made it more difficult and painful for him to do so. He often used his expert woodworking skills to craft beautiful and creative items for others, including toys such as sleighs, rocking horses, and bubble gum dispensers for the children of friends and neighbors at Christmas time. He was active in his local church congregation and loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all his heart. He was a devoted dog lover all his life, and he lavished his animals with love and affection. He was a lover of history and an avid reader of every kind of book. In his younger years, he was a sportsman and hunter. He was a firearm enthusiast, collector and gunsmith, who staunchly supported the constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms for the purposes of providing food and protection for his family and home. As a safety inspector in the steel industry, he worked diligently and conscientiously to safeguard the lives and well-being of untold thousands who would use, and benefit from, the numerous industrial and public works projects he was responsible for during the course of a decades-long career. Craig loved this country with all his heart. He saw it as a God-inspired and God-blessed land of liberty. He was understandably frustrated and distraught by the present and on-going erosions to our constitutionally protected freedoms and the rights of free citizens wrought by what he, and many others in this nation, observed to be a corrupt and overreaching government. As an elderly–and largely homebound–man, there was very little he could do but exercise his First Amendment right to free speech and voice his protest in what has become the public square of our age–the internet and social media. Though his statements were intemperate at times, he has never, and would never, commit any act of violence against another human being over a political or philosophical disagreement. As our family processes the grief and pain of our loss, we would have it be known that we hold no personal animosity towards those individuals who took part in the ill-fated events of the morning of August 9, 2023, which resulted in Craig’s death. We ask that the media and public respect our family members’ privacy and give us the time and space needed to come to terms with the sad tragedy of these events.’
His family really needed to stage an intervention with him about posting on the internet. However, the FBI had him under surveillance for six months and could have arrested him peacefully when they chose. Instead they staged one of their ridiculous, and always potentially deadly, Commando style dawn raids, raids that are enough to convince anyone with a gun to pick it up in all the sound and fury, especially an elderly man roused from slumber. (I can vouch for that!) Robertson died because the FBI wanted a photo op.
Lots of people write ridiculous threats against presidents all the time on the net. Most are dealt with low level, with the Secret Service or the FBI making the determination that the individual is not really a threat. Prosecutions of threatening to harm the President are usually less than thirty a year. I am surprised that Robertson, obviously an old man letting off steam who probably was getting senile like President Biden, was not placed in the harmless category, with his family cautioned to get him off the net and maybe to have a doctor give him a mental acuity test. However, under the current regime, the FBI is always eager to be this nation’s version of the Stasi, and to make examples of enemies of the rulers. I hope Robertson’s family brings a wrongful death suit. The discovery of internal FBI communications on this case might make for very interesting reading.
Now posted on Twitter to @FBI and on FB.
Again, the way to fix the problem posed by the FBI is institutional death, with their management level debarred for life from federal employment of any kind. One foundational problem is that the federal penal code is too voluminous.
We know (some) in FBI are just looking for reasons to be violent towards those they consider a “threat”.
It’s horrible. It’s reminiscent of Ruby Ridge.
That said. Don’t Fed Post (say who you would like to kill/see dead/guns and ammo). I know that those who did it still have a platform (nothing done to them) but we do not have a fair nor reasonable Fed department everywhere
Still waiting for the Feds to go after Joy Reid for her not-at-all unserious advocacy on national TV of beheading Donald Trump when he was POTUS. 🦗 🦗 🦗
Art is absolutely right. The institution needs to die and be wiped away as the Romans wiped away Carthage.
It’s reminiscent of Ruby Ridge.
Wm. Barr was the attorney-general during that travesty. Note, no statute of limitations on murder charges.
Don’t Fed Post (say who you would like to kill/see dead/guns and ammo).
The one who strikes silently, with no advance warning, is the one to truly fear.
Art’s right about the number of laws.
Shrink the bureaucracy. Shrink the law books, federal ad state. With so many “laws” everyone is guilty and no one is free.
The FBI views you as the enemy, and as the enemy you have no rights.
Hm. I seem to recall someone holding up an imitation of Trump’s severed head. Was there an FBI raid of her house? I don’t recall it.
