FBI Arrests Georgia Man for Threatening to Kill Jews and Blacks
ATLANTA, GA – Christopher Robertson, 42, of Fairburn, Georgia, also known as James Lomak, made his initial court appearance today on federal charges of communicating interstate threats. The charges stem from multiple videos he posted on Facebook in which he allegedly made racial threats to kill Jews and Black people.
According to information presented in court by United States Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg, Robertson’s alleged actions included menacing visits to Jewish facilities and online threats.
- On July 30, 2025, Robertson allegedly visited the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta and The Temple, a Jewish synagogue in Midtown Atlanta. He made derogatory remarks about Jewish people and ranted about the “cultural genocide” of the white race.
- The FBI discovered social media posts in which Robertson made threats, including a YouTube post where he sang a song threatening to kill Jewish people and a Facebook post showing him with a loaded pistol, captioned with a statement that he would “kill for” the white race.
- On July 31, 2025, Robertson entered a Jewish Chabad building in Peachtree City, telling a rabbi that Jewish people were on the “verge of extermination.”
- On August 1, 2025, he posted a video on Facebook threatening to murder Black people.
Robertson was arrested on Friday, August 1, after a lengthy standoff with the FBI. Agents recovered a firearm from the scene. U.S. Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas ordered him to be held in custody until his next hearing on August 7. The case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Brent Alan Gray and Bret R. Hobson.
