Maine man gets time served for threats to kill Jews, Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, cops

Thadius Wind, 52, of Eddington, Maine, was sentenced to approximately 17 months of time served and three years of supervised release for making threats via interstate communications. Wind was found guilty in July after a jury trial on three counts of threatening to kill Jews, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, and Maine police officers. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maine stated, "This case should serve as notice that if you threaten people or groups online, hiding behind your keyboard will not protect you from the consequences of your actions." FBI agents identified Wind through social media and found "numerous swords" at his home during a search. Ted Docks of the FBI Boston Division emphasized that "threatening to kill Jewish people, law enforcement and others aren’t protected acts of courage or conviction. They’re federal crimes."
