"Next up on Fox News... The libs have weaponized the FBI and are executing innocent conservatives for exercising their freedumb of speech!"

Corkyskog ,

That was already aired months ago, this will just be a follow up story that they use as “proof”

PowerCrazy ,

Yes, the parties of Capital use the state-monopoly on violence to enforce the status quo. How old are you that you don’t realize this?

It’s 2023, if you’re still making and supporting anti-gay laws, you deserve to be sent to some little gay free island in the middle of the ocean where you can no-homo high five all your totally straight bros right into your old age, never have to deal with the big scary gay world outside ever again.

He looked like he had a fucking baby shoe collection. What human garbage, nothing of value lost.

twotone ,

At least he’s not wearing any toe rings

PowerCrazy , to worldnews in Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah

So like it’s cool just to murder people exercising their free speech on the internet?

negativeyoda ,

Freedom of speech, not freedom from the consequences of said speech. It’s explicitly illegal to do what this smoothbrain did.

He wasn’t killed for saying anything. Sounds like this mouthbreather decided to suicide by cop when they confronted him. I’m no fan of cops, but FAFO in this case

PowerCrazy ,

What law did he break? Please cite it.

Also if the consequences of “free speech” is being summarily executed or jailed, that isn’t really free speech is it? Do i have the freedom to rob a bank, but not the freedom from the consequences of robbing the bank?

The warrent had 3 counts: interstate threats, threats against the president, and influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat

Also free speech is shit like: Biden is a terrible president and I fucking hate this country

Talking about how you should grab your ghillie + rifle to great the president is crossing the line

negativeyoda ,

Thank you for responding to the bad faith sealioner so I didn’t have to

LordOfTheChia ,

There’s even more details on other news articles. The guy was making explicit threats to a lot of people:

"I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!” he wrote

"The time is right for a presidential assassination or two,” Robertson reportedly wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post. “First Joe then Kamala!!!”

"Hey FBI, you still monitoring my social media? Checking so I can be sure to have a loaded gun handy in case you drop by again,” he wrote in one post.

JillyB ,

Credible threats have less free speech protection. But I’m also concerned about this. The article doesn’t have any details about the raid. If they were trying to arrest him and he pulled a gun, then that’s just how it goes. If it was a no-knock raid, then it’s closer to summary execution, in my opinion. Hopefully more details come out about this.

in north korea, etc etc

Blumpkinhead ,

Believe it or not, threatening to murder someone isn’t protected by free speech.

“I hear Biden is coming to Utah. Digging out my old ghillie suit and cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle.”

“Perhaps Utah will become famous this week as the place a sniper took out Biden the Marxist.”

Those probably cross the line and might not be protected speech. Especially when posted with pictures of the firearms and equipment in question.

PowerCrazy ,

What line? Where is this line defined? Can you cite some law that he was breaking that necessitated a death-squad to pay him a visit?

EvilColeslaw ,
@EvilColeslaw@beehaw.org avatar

Among other possibilities, Utah Code § 76-5-107

(2) (a) An actor commits a threat of violence if the actor: (i) (A) threatens to commit an offense involving bodily injury, death, or substantial property damage; and (B) acts with intent to place an individual in fear of imminent serious bodily injury, substantial bodily injury, or death; or (ii) makes a threat, accompanied by a show of immediate force or violence, to do bodily injury to an individual. (b) A threat under this section may be express or implied.

They showed up with an arrest warrant. Unless and until there’s some evidence where they just rolled up with the intent to murder him, I’m going to presume that’s not the case.

PowerCrazy ,

They are cops doing a no-knock raid at 6:00am, of course they are had intent to murder.

YaksDC , to worldnews in Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah

At least he went out doing what he loved… being an idiot.

Dubious_Fart , to worldnews in Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah

Well well well.

if it isnt the consequences of his actions.

PunnyName , to worldnews in Man who threatened Biden shot dead in FBI raid in Utah

Lucky bastard, doesn’t have to live on a burning planet anymore.

Derproid ,

Lol if you think he’s lucky why not just off yourself?

PunnyName ,

Working on it

Derproid ,

I’m really sorry your feeling that way, no one deserves to feel like the best decision is death. I’ve been there and I wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone. I know you don’t want to hear anyone tell you “Oh just stick it out life gets better!” because if you’re like I was that’s just a fantasy that never comes. But if you’ll take any advice I’d suggest finding something you love to do and just making that your life’s work, don’t worry about anything else. That’s what I did, gave up on everything else and just focused on that for a few years, eventually things ended up turning out alright for me.

PunnyName ,

Ah, backpedaling now, eh?

I care not about your platitudes.

Be better, and fuck off.

Derproid ,

Really? I made a sarcastic comment and then when I realized another human being going through a serious struggle I’ve gone through before I try to show compassion. This is why I said you need to stop caring about all this crap that makes life no

Ya know what fuck it whatever be miserable if you want to.

"There are many Middle East countries who do not tolerate homosexuals, they actually hang and execute homosexuals," she said, according to Reuters news agency.

"In the US many states have passed laws that are either against or restrict activities of homosexuality... so why pick on Uganda?"

because they have more money than you.

And the world got a little less shitty today. I love seeing Darwinism in real time. I feel bad for the FBI agent that might have guilt from taking a life.

autotldr Bot , to worldnews in Candidate in Ecuador's presidential election shot dead

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Fernando Villavicencio, a member of the country’s national assembly, was attacked after an event in the northern city of Quito on Wednesday.

A member of his campaign team told local media Mr Villavicencio was about to get into a car when a man stepped forward and shot him in the head.

The death was confirmed on social media by current president Guillermo Lasso.

Mr Lasso said he was “outraged and shocked” by the killing and pledged that “this crime will not go unpunished”.

A recent rise in violent crime, fuelled by the growing presence of drug cartels in Ecuador, has been a central issue in the presidential campaign.

Last week, Mr Villavicencio, a former journalist, said he and his team had been threatened by the leader of a gang linked to drug trafficking.
