20 years ago they would not have shot him. My brother in law in Provo, UT said similar things online about 20 years ago, and got a visit from the FBI. They gave him a three week stay in the hospital, but didn't shoot him. I was a little worried when I saw this headline.
Robertson's family has issue a statement. Obviously, it's a bit difficult to reconcile the family's description, including "He was active in his local church congregation and loved the Lord Jesus Christ with all his heart" with his comments such as: Finally, I wonder if he or his family could actually name the freedoms they've supposedly lost. Craig Robertson's family defend him after FBI killing
They’re rotten too. I hope the FBI keeps an eye on them. It’s not without precedent as an example the a cousin of the Uvalde shooter was just recently arrested for planning the same thing.
Even if his family could name several freedoms lost, that in no way justifies murdering someone. I have no remorse for Craig Robertson, but it appears none of his "loved ones" loved him very much or they would have tried to calm him down. If that didn't work, they needed to get him professional help for his issues. Not just a mentally ill man, but an entire family, it sounds like.

Great question. You'd think the best of the best when it comes to bodycam technology or video of the scene would be used and part of the public record when raids such as these are conducted.
Tragically since then enough people who posted similar threats have actually attempted to carry them out. The FBI had to take the threats very seriously especially after January 6th.
Trump and Trumpers: Let's insert violence and the threat of violence into the American mainstream discourse to try and get our way. Also Trumpers: Why did they shoot that poor man when he pointed a gun at them? They had no reason to expect he would follow through.
It is odd that the usual crew who scream about cops killing “innocent “ people seem to be cheering this. Sad actually.
