(Reuters) - A U.S. grand jury has indicted a jailed Pennsylvania man for threatening to kill the chair of the congressional committee investigating the January 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol, prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Robert Vargo, 25, of Berwick, Pennsylvania, also threatened to kill the committee chair's family and President Joe Biden, prosecutors said.

He was charged with threatening the president of the United States, threat by interstate communications, and influencing a federal official by threat, the U.S. Attorney's office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said in a statement.

Reuters could not immediately identify the lawyer representing Vargo in order to seek a comment in his defense.

16. Used to be the Army

Had to teach some how to wear shoes, back in the day! The problems today are a lot more complicated, and it's not worth the Army's time to fix people they don't need.

12. I've Got No Issues With Tattoos, Per Se

However, I can't say that I usually see facial/neck tattoos on people that are...shall we say...of the highest calibre? There are exceptions, as I know some people who defy the stereotype, but in general...

14. He needs his meds all right.

Also a bath, a shave*, and a halfway decent haircut.

*Nothing against beards (my husband has one), but there's a difference between a nicely groomed beard and a raggedy, scraggly mess. 😉

18. Why do all of these folks have the same "dead expression "

look about them???

Every single one…….

20. a dehumanized human being

Where did this all go wrong? Was he told by his parents that he was useless and would never grow up to amount for much? A childhood spent listening to bickering abusive parents? Did he never hear that he was better than his home life, or that he could create a happy meaningful life?

It's so easy for us to mock and ridicule him. But what's so amusing about a wasted life? If at 4 or 5 years of age, he had the opportunity for free child care under the supervision of kind providers, maybe it would have mitigated a negative home life. Taught him some social skills. Got him started liking to learn. Pointed him in a positive direction.

22. it's hard to empathize with assumed problems

None of that may be true. He may have had a great upbringing.

[Justice matters.]

23. Could have grown up with parents watching FOX LIES extreme-right Fascist propaganda for cash...

For almost . 2 . decades
