In a startling turn of events, 75-year-old Craig Deleeuw Robertson, described as an elderly Utah resident, was fatally shot during an early morning FBI raid on Wednesday. Weighing around 300 lbs and grappling with substantial health obstacles that hindered his mobility, Robertson became the unfortunate victim. The FBI swiftly confirmed the incident, revealing that specialized agents were executing arrest and search warrants at a Provo residence, with the deadly shooting occurring at approximately 6:15 am.
The primary focus of this operation revolved around investigating online threats, particularly those aimed at President Joe Biden and other prominent figures. Despite Robertson’s apparent disabilities, the FBI classified these online threats as ‘credible.’ This classification gains notable significance compared to previous cases where symbolic threats were not met with lethal force. Notably, incidents involving Kathy Griffin’s controversial photograph holding a decapitated head resembling President Trump, and a 2017 Shakespeare in the Park production depicting a staged stabbing of a look-alike of President Trump, did not result in FBI raids and fatal outcomes.
Details emerged from court documents obtained by Fox 13, unveiling Robertson’s explicit online threats aimed at causing harm to President Biden during his visit to Utah.
Robertson allegedly wrote in a post displaying bold black letters on a pink and purple swirly background, “I hear Biden is coming to Utah. Digging out my old Ghillie suit and cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle.”
President Biden’s imminent arrival in Salt Lake City on Wednesday afternoon added urgency to the unfolding situation. Robertson’s menacing online behavior extended beyond the President. In March, he reportedly targeted New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg, overseeing the criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump. In a post, he declared, “I’ll be waiting in the courthouse parking garage with my suppressed Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm to smoke a radical fool prosecutor that should never have been elected.”
While conducting surveillance on Robertson’s home on March 19, a special agent attempted to speak with Robertson about his posts, according to Fox13. Robertson replied, ‘I said it was a dream!’ and told the agent to return with a warrant.
FBI officials have maintained a veil of secrecy around the exact circumstances that led to the tragic shooting. However, they have assured that a comprehensive incident review is underway within the department’s Inspection Division. Offering a glimpse into Robertson’s character and life circumstances, Travis Lee Clark, who personally knew and served as the church’s secretary, shared insights.
“Essentially, he was nearly 80 years old, weighed 300 lbs, and battled significant health constraints that rendered him reliant on a cane and limited his mobility. He even resorted to driving a short distance to church to avoid walking. He cared for his disabled, blind adult son until recently, showcasing his compassionate nature. A cheerful presence, he was known for quick jokes and smiles, serving as our financial clerk for nearly a decade,” Clark recounted.
“A widower since some time ago, Robertson was an active attendee of the Pioneer 2nd Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Provo, Utah,” Clark added.
“Contrary to any perception of him as a credible threat, he was a frail elderly man who vented his frustrations on social media. A good-hearted individual who cherished woodworking and gun collecting, he dedicated himself to his disabled adult son until only a few weeks prior,” Clark emphasized.
Photographs of Craig Deleeuw Robertson, as attested by acquaintance Travis Lee Clark, are estimated to be between 10 to 15 years old.
Another man who characterized himself as a friend of Robertson for over four decades conveyed his profound shock over the unfolding events to FOX 13 News.
“He was the type of person who would go to great lengths to assist anyone. He possessed an incredible nature. Firm in his faith and brimming with love, he radiated warmth. Our bond has been that of brothers for many years,” Steve Terry shared with FOX 13 News.
Terry expressed disbelief at the tragic turn of events. “The things that have been circulating about him in the media are not correct. Craig would do anything to help people,” he said.
As the investigation continues, the community grapples with the sudden loss of a man cherished for his warmth, devotion to his son, and contributions to the church.
President Biden’s visit to Salt Lake City proceeded without disruption. Nevertheless, the incident ignited discourse on online threats, mental health, and the appropriate actions of law enforcement agencies. Full details of the incident remain concealed, awaiting the conclusion of the FBI’s Inspection Division’s review.

Freedom of speech vs idle threats. Looks like he was just blowing off steam. However, with marxist-satanists in power, and all departments corrupted with dirtbags, this is the end result. Of course, marxists and their ilk can make threats all day long. This is how marxists demoralize their enemies. Unequal justice.
He was executed for his freedom to speak out. This was an idle threat and they murdered him.
he was murdered!
M U R D E R E D !
Yes, I agree. He was killed to prop up the white supremacist boogyman narrative. Also, it distracts attention away from the marxist-satanist criminals infesting DC.
Nobody believes the FBI’s version of this murder. Nobody but a fool.
Agreed, Jim.
When will the bodycam videos be released?
never because they have been erroneously erased… who would have known????
2052
I just heard today that the fbi doesn’t activate body cams during raids because it would reveal their tactics. That might could some issues before a Grand Jury. Doing mag dumps on citizens isn’t a legitimate tactic.
“Rand Paul says Fauci caught in lies to Congress about coronavirus research: ‘Dead to rights’
Senator tells ‘Fox & Friends’ 2020 Fauci email appears to contradict sworn testimony to Congress”
OK, WHY IS THAT ROBERTSON TAKEN DOWN, BUT NOT THE GREATEST GENOCIDE CRIMINAL IN HISTORY, “Dr” ANTHONY FAUCI?
WHY?
BECAUSE FBI AND CIA ARE FAUCI’S, SOROS’, GATES’ AND BIDEN’S ASS LICKERS!
This event should not take anyone by surprise. It is, part and parcel, the quintessential kind of behavior taken by a weaponized regime; the US government. The FBI had no intention, whatsoever, to attempt de-escalation. They knew where he went to church, they had observed his patterns of travel, so they could have detained him while he was outside and away from his home. But no, the FBI and the Biden Regime intentionally did this to send a signal. This action is one of, soon to be, many displays of overt armed governmental suppression of any and all dissent and criticism of this regime. The man’s postings warranted an interview by Secret Service, NOT first-degree murder by the FBI.
June 22, 2017, at the annual Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England, Johnny Depp asked the crowd, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?”
Depp is an “actor,” and Trump was president. Was Depp’s home raided? No.
If you are a Conservative, especially a Christian Conservative, the odds are good that the FBI considers you the same degree of threat as they did Mr. Craig Robinson. If you are a Christian Conservative Caucasian, well, your days are numbers as far as this regime is concerned.
America as we knew it, as outlined by and founded via the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, is gone. This country is nothing more than a B-movie banana republic.
Why did the FBI handle this? That is the Secret Services job. There is something VERY fishy about this homicide. Just how corrupt and crooked are the FBI?
Be careful what you say people. Threatening to kill someone IS a threat. Saying it constantly IS a threat. Whether you’re blowing off steam or not; threatening to kill someone IS a legitimate threat. You can blow off steam without crossing that threshold of killing someone! Use your head…
FBI tactics: Crash through the front door of a man’s home at 5 am, when he wakes up and comes out of the bedroom with a pistol in his hand to see who’s invading his home, execute him. What the hell has happened to our country?
American Gestapo simply executed the man.
We are a goose-stepping banana republic.
Nothing will happen to these state executioners.
That’ll teach those smelly little Walmart shoppers what happens if you dare vote Trump MAGA
This was murder just like Ashley Babbit and it will be completely brushed off. It wouldn’t even have been reported if the guy were black
He may have been a good man in a general sense, but not too smart. Or perhaps a little too reckless with the shock-talk venting. Its definitely a foolish thing to make threats online in this hyper-partisan surveillance society. Even a VPN doesn’t guaranty anonymity. Not trying to denigrate the man, but he should have better understood the true nature of the sorry state we’re in. It does say something about the regime though. The more authoritarian the leadership is, the more likely you be shot dead when provoking them. Unless you’re useful to them of course, but that only last until usefulness no longer matters.
Fat assed FBI agents.
War fatality
Cops and the FBI are trained killers, looking for any excuse possible to kill you. They are sovereign criminals who get away with murder. F all of you who somehow believe cops are heroes. You enable them to be dirty with zero consequences. 🖕🖕 the FBI.
I wonder what the name of the latest FBI Lon Horiuchi murderer/shooter is….
Look at the FBI’s “girls with guns”. One of the ladies keeps traipsing around with a loaded rifle ready to fire, despite the fact that the entire event ended a long time ago. (Another agent behind her has his hands in his pockets!)
Sigh. Woman are jumpy and emotionally hair-trigger BY NATURE. The sheer stupidity of hiring women as soldiers or LEOs is insanely stupid.
In the traditions of Ruby Ridge and WACO the FBI HRT killers strike again.
Every time some radicalized leftist fruitcake goes on a killing spree, the nosepickers at the FBI blurt out something about how they were watching the fruitcake. They knew, but they were just hanging back and watching. Just watching. Oops!
But a guy like this one in Utah writes a few ugly remarks on the internet, and suddenly the nosepickers are foaming with rage and just go and kill the guy. You know, like the Stasi used to do.
Remember RUBY RIDGE!!!

There is no explicit threat there at all. Its not there. It must be added by imagination. That indicates a 300lb old man has a gillie suit he is goin to take out…NOT PUT ON. And where in his house would a gillie suit be effective? Not an urban area. The reference to an M24 is legal 100%. He doesnt mention loading it, or shooting it at all. In fact he could have said I plan to use it for target practice…still no threat on Joe Biden there at all. The Murderers Imaginations would have to ADD IT…AND AGAIN ITS THEM THAT WOULD ADF A CRIME…WHERE NON EXISTED. Cumulatively that makes this a MURDER by the Federal Government against an invalid senior citizen. I urge the family to File criminal and civil charges…a trained monkey could win this case in court. Im going home to clean my guns, I may even go target shooting later. Am I now going to be murdered by Joe Bidens TYRANTS?
They must be so proud of killing a harmless, crippled old man. They would kill you too if told too.
Does this sound similar to the LaVoy Finicum killing?
Political murder.
Just like Ashley Babbitt
Old, fat, semi crippled blowhard and they send a team of FBI to take him out. This was the PERFECT situation for the democrats to send in a couple of their “social workers” in the middle of the afternoon that they talk about replacing the police with. But no… they needed to make a warning shot….make an example.
Well folks in case you’re from another world, this mafia criminal government is trying to kill most all and replace you with recent clueless foreigners. We not have to do a thing for them to come after anyone of us. Nothing new here they been poisoning us for many years now but Claus said speed things up. PREPARE!!!
Everything makes me sad. The world could be good except the people in power are making everything awful.
So basically we are unlikely to ever know what happens?
