Threatening YouTube Video Lands Man In Prison 243

wiredmikey writes "Norman LeBoon of Philadelphia was sentenced to 24 months in prison for his production and transmission of a YouTube video over the Internet last March containing a threat to injure and kill a United States Congressman. Following his arrest, LeBoon told federal agents that Eric Cantor is 'pure evil'; 'will be dead'; and that 'Cantor's family is suffering because of his father's wrath.'"

    "Threatening normal, everyday citizens? Police care less because their ticket quotas are more important."

    WRONG.

    You have no idea what you are talking about.

    I, on the other hand, do. And that's because I have actual experience.

    Communicating threats has never been taken more seriously than it is now.

    I spent 30 months in prison for this crime. If someone believes your opinion
    is an accurate representation of how law enforcement deals with this stuff, they
    could find themselves in a world of shit.
