Unlike Kathy Griffin’s infamous act of holding a decapitated head of Donald Trump dripping with fake blood, past threats against President Trump’s life did not culminate in fatal home raids.”
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.
