"The complaint said Robertson came to the attention of federal agents in March after he posted a threat against Mr Bragg on Truth Social, the social network owned by Mr Trump. The company alerted the FBI's National Threat Operations Center.
FBI agents then visited the suspect, who told them that the post was a "dream" and ended the conversation by saying: "We're done here! Don't return without a warrant!""
Not only does Truth Social narc on him, but the "dreams" defense was a true sign of just how far gone that asshole was.
You know you goofed when Truth Social turns you in to the feds
Truth social is in it for the grift, not for the heat. They aren't really the revolutionary counterculture fortress they make themselves out to be. They just figured out that stupid people are easy to monetize. Which is rapidly becoming MBA canon for all social media.
Honestly monetizing stupidity if you don't have any personal morals is exceptionally easy. I often get jealous at the revenues even some of the simplest of these gifts are, and monkeypaw wish I was a shittier person.
It's why every scammer goes after old people. They usually aren't as sharp as they once were unfortunately...
My coworker just told me a story about his grandmother being robbed of 300k because some asshat came to her house and said she absolutely had to have the roof redone asap or it would collapse on her... She drove him to the bank and emptied her account... I was infuriated hearing about that and that he got away...
Why do you say that? Do you think an obvious grift like truth social isn't going to be play nice with the government? Why would any action they do hold more weight then something like facebook, reddit or lemmy?
They're taking away his right to free dreams.
I imagine they put him down like a dog after he said that. I also imagine they just killed him first and made up that statement afterwards. Who's going to contradict the crazed armed murderers, not the dead guy I can tell you that, just ask Fred Hampton.
it's a really bizarre story, I can't find a single article explaining what actually happened. usually the cops lie and say he drew a weapon on them, or shot at them first, or they feared for their lives or something. there's nothing with this, they're just saying he's dead.
It all boils down to, there used to be subbed crazy idiot mouthing off to his phone. Then the cops came and now there's a dead body.
This is what's on the table with cop interaction, they're going to kill you. They know the game better than you, they'll always find a way to justify it and you'll be too much of a rotting course to care.
