I cannot down vote, and would rarely do so if I could, but I would here. You are blaming the hurricane on the butterfly. One guy pulled a trigger and killed so

- nkrisc 9y agoIt is not even close to blaming the hurricane on the butterfly. While it should not be possible for such a prank call to lead to a lethal outcome, it currently is entirely possible and realistic for such an outcome to occur in our society today. The perpetrator knew that was a very probable outcome, and used that knowledge to intentionally instigate such a scenario in order to achieve that outcome. Just because he didn't pull the trigger doesn't mean he doesn't share any blame. The world is not the perfect, logical, orderly fantasy-land you seem to think it is.

- archagon 9y agoI couldn't think of a more absurd reply to this incident. The whole point of swatting is to get the cops to break into your house and shake you up a bit. Anyone who's been online for the past decade knows just how trigger-happy police in America can be, and it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. This was a game of chicken fueled by a remarkable lack of empathy and conscience. You don't get to wash your hands of the blame just because you didn't pull the trigger.
