I hope many across the political spectrum take the time to read this family’s statement.

Also noticed on nbc this morning a carefully choreographed dance around the question of who shot first. Apparently we don’t know, or are not being told. My money is on the FIB’s being trigger happy; de-escalation takes time and raises media attention. Plus with poopy pants in town it would draw attention from his big campaign event (what was the count on that - 20 people? 50?).

Being armed is a protected right. FBI are murderers.

Making threats against the president is illegal, that is a fact, and those making threats should be investigated, if found to be mentally ill they should be confined to a facility, if not, they should be imprisoned.

There have been thousands of people arrested over the decades for threatening every president, I can’t think of a single one that was killed by an FBI SWAT team. All previous cases of threatening the president have been handled quietly, with most of the people being sent to a psychiatric facility, and some have been imprisoned.

I have heard that the FBI had watched him for the last few months, did they not notice that he was 75 years old, 5’4” tall, weight of 300 lbs., and using a cane? Wouldn’t you think that they could have arrested him on his way to the grocery store or church? They didn’t need to batter down his front door, throw in flash bangs, and shoot the man.

This looks more like an operation meant to send a message that the Biden regime is willing and able to kill whomever they wish.

The reliance by the FBI on using SWAT teams to go after political figures seems to have started with Roger Stone. Now it has escalated to actually killing someone. Maybe someone who has looked into the use of SWAT by the FBI has better information.

Beware. In the Former USA either lowlife street scum or the Stasi can take your life whenever they feel like it.

Kinda like the members of families of the victims of Hitler's Gestapo, Stalin's NKVD, or the united States of America's FBI. Criticize the FBI, they will find Child Porn on your computer in a second. You will get a visit from them and at least a dozen bullets in your head.

FBI raids on Americans should be “unconstitutional.” That guy was a walking heart attack. He couldn’t hold up a gun long enough to shoot anybody. Somebody overreacted.

The FBI has proven many times in the past that they do not have the training and experience to conduct raids. This would have turned out completely differently if the local PD approached him first.

The Aunt Teefers wear ghillie suits too! I wonder why the FBI Raiders don’t see them as threatening and frightening.

A photo of him in his gun workshop led to the FBI raiding his home. He was categorized stereotypically due to his skin color, religious convictions, and political views.

Possessing a gun workshop as a Trump Supporter places you higher on the FBI’s priority hit(kill) list.

FBI probably had orders to shoot on sight. Period.

Yes, I took the time to read the family’s statement, also checked the back story, and saw the short video a neighbor took during the assaults (excellent data points).

1. As I stated before, if the victim would have fired or even raised a weapon first, the FBI/media would have LEAD with that - not bring it up during the spin cycle.

2. From the short video, I witnessed about 5 to 7 military-clad males yelling into the house from outside, then tossing what appeared to be a flash-bang grenade at the property. Perhaps there was a warrant in someone’s hand, but I didn’t see it.

3. The victim had been visited in the past by the FBI. perhaps another mid-day visit with a simply knock on the door could have been less lethal than a fully-armed, tactical assault at 6:15 AM?

4. I’m sure it’s out there (I haven’t checked in the last 12 hours), but do we have any idea what was on this warrant that justified a para-military take down in a 75 year-old man with no criminal record in a peaceful neighborhood?

5. Also from reading the reports in other regional publications, the local cops made note that they were NOT involved in this action.

6. And finally, for those trying to justify such actions, or trying to sort out in your own head what happened here, or what is really going on, please see what some have called my ‘controversial’ tagline.

jimjohn - OUT.

“ Yet not a single Antifa raid on people who threatened President Trump.”

Fascists protect fascists.

And they send messages to those who aren’t with them.

Message sent by biden’s DOJ.“

Precisely. They displayed the body in full view outside on the sidewalk like a trophy. Trump got much worse threats on a nearly daily basis. No 6:30 am assassinations for them.

Instead of planning and executing a heavily armed dawn “raid”, rushing into his house before he can think clearly, and predictably gunning him down, the FBI could have CALLED him, on like a PHONE, and asked discussed his intentions. Maybe asked gim to come in for an interview. Worst he could have done was refuse to cooperate. But they chose the dangerous, violent option.

FBI needs to explain WHY. FBI needs to disclose what they anticipated his reaction would be.
