Philadelphia Man Charged with Threatening to Kill U.S. Congressman and His Family

PHILADELPHIA—Today, a two-count complaint and warrant was filed charging Norman Leboon with threatening to kill United States Congressman Eric Cantor and his family, and threatening to kill Congressman Eric Cantor, who is an official of the United States, announced United States Attorney Michael L. Levy and FBI Special Agent in Charge Jan Fedarcyk. As set forth in the affidavit to the complaint and warrant, in or about late March, 2010, Leboon created and then transmitted a YouTube video to Google over the Internet, in which he threatened to kill Congressman Cantor and his family. No harm came to the Congressman or his family as a result of Leboon’s threats.

“The Department of Justice takes threats against government officials seriously, especially threats to kill or injure others,” said Levy. “Whether the reason for the threat is personal or political, threats are not protected by the First Amendment and are crimes.”

Norman Leboon is a Philadelphia Muslim man. A fact that seems quite relevant save to MSM reporting. (If this was in fine print; then I missed it. . .but does not change the bigger fact; nor efforts to minimize the truth.)

By now someone should have posted the youtube link of Alec Baldwin's threats against Henry Hyde and family.

I cannot find the link and more important I cannot remember how much time Baldwin served in prison for the crime.

Wot? Satire? Baldwin said it was satire?

Wow! The perfect defense for that guy in Philadelphia.
