Comments like "Not exactly somebody I feel much sympathy for" and "he definitely was heavily involved in similar activity himself" miss the point entirely. The point is that swatting is too easy. Victims can't count on law enforcement to help. Family members are victims too, and they're powerless. I don't care how little sympathy you feel for Blair/r000t, his little sister did not deserve to have her school put on lockdown because of something her brother may or may not have done online.
- protomyth 11y agoI wonder if anyone setup a fund for her? She is probably going to need some help given the constant attacks.
