The man who threatened House Minority Whip Eric Cantor and his family in a YouTube video is not fit to stand trial and will be sent to a prison mental health facility for four months for treatment, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

A federal judge ordered Norman Leboon, who is 38, to undergo psychiatric treatment before he can stand trial. He will likely be sent to a facility in Butner, N.C.

Leboon was arrested for a video in which he says Cantor will "receive my bullets in your office, remember they will be placed in your heads. You and your children are Lucifer's abominations."

He had a history of making threatening videos, and was arrested last summer for threatening to have the angel Gabriel kill his roommate.

1. It was immediately obvious that this guy is nuttier than squirrel shit.

He doesn't seem to have a political agenda; his problem is evidently a medical one.

Winger comments there are the usual. This is all going right over their heads.
