The FBI killed a Utah man who issued numerous death threats. Far-right figures are now claiming the Biden administration is coming to kill conservatives.

The guy was going into detail about what it would like to see his victims dying. I haven't seen info on what exactly triggered the shooting.

One guy pointed out his age and "Why did they need all those cops?". I don't care if you are 75, you can still pull the trigger on a semi-auto gun.

He pointed a gun at the FBI agents serving a warrant. This was not an execution, it was an old white guy who's never had his privilege checked before.

These are po dunk cops shooting a dog. These are FBI agents, if they shot him, he pulled a gun on them. They put him under surveillance. They approached him in public and asked to talk to him. Guy went angry old fuck on them and told them to come back with a warrant, so they did. If he was shot and killed, he brought it on himself, by his actions, that warranted being shot and killed.

He was also taunting and threatening the FBI on his social media after he was told that they were monitoring it. Just because it's online doesn't make it not a threat. You're 100% right and I don't understand how anyone doesn't see this.
