"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.

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?

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.

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