    TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Tampa dentist was indicted earlier this month after he was accused of sending dozens of threats, some of which were racially charged and praised former President Donald Trump, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Richard Glenn Kantwill, 60, of Tampa, was charged with three counts of interstate transmission of a threat to injure, officials said. The Department of Justice said Kantwill sent about 100 threats to more than 40 victims between August 2019 and July 2020.

    “Despite the FBI’s warning, Kantwill spent the next ten months sending threats to over 40 victims via social media and email,” prosecutors wrote, noting that they’re aware of a violent threat as recently as February. Prosecutors allege that Kantwill “repeatedly sent threatening messages to people across the country who didn’t maintain the same beliefs as he did.”

    “The numerous messages Kantwill sent to various people threatening injury and death, his disdain for law and order expressed in many of his messages, his bragging about his firearms collection that he will never surrender, his expressed desire to buy illegal firearms, and his continued pattern of making threats, all show Kantwill poses a danger to the community if released,” prosecutors said.

    Sometimes all you have to do is look at a mugshot and you can easily say, “Yep, MAGA.” This is one of those times.

    Love that he sprinkles a "God Bless Trump" and other Jesus references into his threats to have people gang raped and murdered.

    I’m sure there’s others like him here. He just kept going after being warned by law enforcement. That made him special and worthy of coverage. But I have little doubt they are all around me daily.

    They are truly all around us.

    Big Trump flag across the street from me. Things he has told my wife lately by way of kindly neighborly warnings. A 6’5” black guy busted in his front door at 10pm one night and only left after the neighbor confronted him armed (told her we need to get armed; the door looked intact). That someone tried to cut down and burn (simultaneously?) his Trump flag before he ran them off (the flag showed no signs of damage).

    He is always an interesting conversation.

    Uncle Dickie?? He is usually so nice at family picknicks. So dumb to be a racist threatening menace in public if you have some livelihood that would be at stake. Just be racist at home Dick.

    Someday Trump will die. 3 days later he will not rise from the dead, and maybe then my old party will start to regain its common sense. I truly believe that is the only thing that can end this weird time in history.

    That said. Nutjobs like this guy may be beyond hope. Just so far down the slope that no amount of rope can reach them.

    His blasphemy of using the name of Jesus to support his evil is the antithesis of what Jesus taught.

    I know a lot of people who would or will vote for Trump over Biden but none of them are nut cases like this guy or members of any kind of group. I sure as hell would not let that guy close to me much less work on my teeth.

    My question is why it took so long for the FBI/DOJ to do their job? This was a clear case of assault at a federal level, but this person remained free for a long time.

    If the FBI/DOJ weren't out harassing parents for having the nads to confront out of control schoolboards, indicting old people for exercising their right of free speech protesting abortion clinics and then throwing them in jail to rot until they die, classifying Christians as right wingers who have to be watched closely while letting actual terrorists go unpunished and uncharged, tracking down and harassing conservatives who were at the Capitol on J6 whether they did anything deserving or not, just maybe the FBI/DOJ could do their job of actually administering justice fairly, but probably not under Dictator Biden.

    People behaving like this dentist are sick whether conservative or liberal. Sometimes, you can't fix crazy, sick, or stupid, but the FBI/DOJ should have put this person, a clear and present interstate danger, away for his own good and those whom he threatened violence against.

    Bottom line, this isn't a MAGA situation even though lefties conflicted with TDS want to paint it that way. It comical that you don't see how silly you folks look attacking MAGA because of your TDS.
