If you read Craig Roberson's Facebook postings, you will see an unhinged right-wing DezNat who was convinced Biden stole the election from Trump and that every Mormon had a religious duty to support Trump by any means necessary, including violence.
The scary thing is that there are thousands of DezNat Mormons just like this. The Church sure seems to produce its fair share of unhinged radicals.
Some posts from his Facebook.
Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.
Sad when you enter a manic state of mind. He needed therapy and some anti anxiety meds. The boogie man was not around the corner but it’s difficult to get him to believe it. It hints of the Birchers of Utah and Idaho.

Dude made online death threats against Biden and NY DA Alvin Bragg (and maybe others). FBI tried to talk to him back in March and he told them to get a warrant. After that encounter he posted on his Facebook account:
To my friends in the Federal Bureau of Idiots:
I know you're reading this and you have no idea how close your agents came to "violent eradication"
A couple of days ago he posted this:
I hear Biden is coming to Utah. Digging out my hold Ghille suit and cleaning the dust off the M24 sniper rifle
FBI went to serve an arrest and search warrant this morning and it resulted in his death.
Local deznat Twitter is describing him as in his 70's and a "sweet guy" and a long-time ward financial clerk. No acknowledgement of his apparent history of online violent threats.
Here's a local news article.
If you “F” around and make death threats against the president in the days leading up to the president's publicized visit a handful of miles away from your home, this is one of the possible ways you find out how bad of an idea that is.
EDIT: His name has been made public but I'm not going to mention here. But that means his Facebook page has already been viewed by a lot of people. Looks like he's posted photos of himself on Facebook in tactical gear and holding apparently high-powered rifles. So there was at least some reason to believe he had the means to carry out these threats.
EDIT 2: Did a bit more digging and, in addition to his violent rhetoric aimed exclusively at political figures in the Democratic party, it appears his online persona was quite racist as well....
