MAGA Dentist Charged With Sending Sick, Violent Death Threats to Trump Critics, ‘Torture First, Then Death!’
Well look at this, a Florida man, a conservative, a Trump loving MAGAt, is facing 15 years in jail after sending some of the sickest messages to Trump critics that you’ve even seen. The MAGA dentist was recently charged for sending death threats and harmful messages to people who disagreed with him about his lord and savior, Donald Trump.
Richard Glenn Kantwill has been charged with three counts of interstate transmission of a threat to injury, and now faces 15 years in prison after he allegedly sent 100 death threats to more than 40 victims between August 2019 and July 2020.
The politically charged messages were sent through email, social media, and text messages, and the severity caused one victim to spend thousands on security cameras.
The 60-year-old was arrested on June 18 following his threats to politicians, celebrities, authors, and many other officials, as revealed in the court documents. One victim, a pastor, who spent $4,500 on security cameras told the court that Richard called him, “anti-Christian piece of sh*t,” and then added “Torture first, then death”.

Richard told one victim who he disagreed with on Donald Trump, “F*ck you and yours. Hire extra security […] you’re gonna need it. I plan on f*cking you up […] just for the fun of it”, and then further called him “degenerated piece of sh*t.”
All of these family values…they are so overwhelming! Not only this, he told another victim he “cannot wait to shoot your ghetto ass in the street.” So the guy is racist as well.
Richard tested positive for marijuana during a pretrial test, and also suffers from PTSD, depression, and alcoholism, as confirmed in the court documents. A federal agent warned Richard to stop sending the messages back in 2019 following a complaint form one of the victims, but the dentist continued with his threatening antics.
The prosecutors argued in a pre-trial motion for detention, โDespite the FBIโs warning, Kantwill spent the next ten months sending threats to over 40 victims via social media and email.” They further added that he “repeatedly sent threatening messages to people across the country who didnโt maintain the same beliefs as he did.โ
โThe 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,โ prosecutors said.
However, when FBI agents requested to meet him again in July 2021 regarding the ongoing messages and complaints from the victims, he refused to speak with them. Richard claimed he wasn’t doing anything illegal and insisted his actions were justified. I love when Trump supporters tell law enforcement that they know more about the law than trained law enforcement does.
โHe blamed the Government, minorities, and other entities for being the reason he had been speaking out,โ prosecutors said in the courtroom. Richard was assigned a public defender, Samuel Landes, who argued for his pre-trial release, stating that prosecutors had “no evidence” to support claims that Richard posed a “danger” to the victims.
โThe Government presented no evidence that Dr. Kantwill is a danger to anyone,โ the court filings stated. โWhile the Government asserted that Dr. Kantwill made online threats, it provided no evidence to suggest that he would ever act on these threats.โ
Against his counsel’s advice, Richard told the Court that his statements were “empty threats,” according to his public defender. The 60-year-old, who received an other than honorable discharge from the military, has no prior criminal history.
Despite this, Judge Thomas Wilson denied the pleas for his release. โIโm not going to have somebody killed on my watch. Iโm not changing my position. He will be detained,โ the judge said.
Thank goodness for that.
