Man sentenced for death threat on GOP leader Cantor
Source: USAToday.com

A Philadelphia man was sentenced Thursday to 24 months in prison for threatening to kill House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, federal prosecutors said.

Norman LeBoon, 38, will also have three years of supervised release when he gets out of prison, including home detention, mental health treatment, drug testing and no Internet access

LeBoon pleaded guilty in November to threatening the Virginia GOP lawmaker and his wife in a YouTube video. The incident occurred around the time that Congress was embroiled in a heated debate over President Obama's health care initiative

4. As I see it, when you threaten another person's welfare, or that of their friends,
expect a visceral response.

9. How many times
has that "2nd AMENDMENT" threat been used on Obama, Reid and so on? No problem here, move on. This dual standard for repukes, they're not even trying to veil them anymore. Beck I believe threatened to burn Pelosi in gasoline. It started with the appointment
of Bush. If they got away with that, the sky's the limited. We should have burned the towns down with that descision.

10. Just drape yourself in the flag, pour on the faux-patriotism and stir...

I for one welcome the chance for the American people to seek Second Amendment remedies to the problem of all Congress critters from Cantor to Boehner to Pence and onward - of course, the only one that were ever actually placed under LITERAL crosshairs were Dems...say Sister Sarah, how's that whole "targety-shooty" thing working out for you after your "blood libel" btw?

I personally LOVE the fact that Americans are free to walk into any establishment that sells armor piercing bullets and semi-automatic weapons - preferably the low-recoil, quick firing kind that shoot as fast as you can pull a trigger - in anticipation of the event.


On a less sarcastic note, the fact that this guy is getting 3 YEARS PLUS supervisions and restrictions for MAKING YOU TUBE VIDEOS and the fucking bankster scum bags like Fuld, Mack, Thain, Geithner, Paulson, Bernanke, and especially that motherfucker Blankfein never even got so much as a slap on the goddamn wrist for stealing TRILLIONS of DOLLARS in wealth and for knowingly running illegal casino businesses is almost as sick as everything else to do with this failed country already.

Perhaps the motivated patriots seeking 2nd Amendment remedies will one day work their way from Progressive-leaning politicians into other even more fertile target ranges....and it would not be a second too late even now.

12. if you've seen this guy's videos
he is clearly non compos mentis. Pretty clearly suffering from schitzophrenia or something similar.

13. Strange to see the judge thinks he needs mental health treatment, but has sentenced him to jail
before the treatment starts. Will he get any treatment in jail?

14. From what little I gather the issue is with Cantor's faith, not politics?
