I disagree with the GP's characterization of the swatter as "just making a phone call", but agree with the point that there should be consequences for the shooter. The investigation into the officer was clearly a farce, given that he shot a man dead without any sign of danger.
- jstanley 8y agoI disagree with your characterisation of my characterisation. He didn't just make a phone call. I was just trying to point out that the person who murdered someone has clearly done more harm than the person who did the Swatting.
- jakelazaroff 8y agoThat's not at all clear to me. If you put someone into a situation in which there's a reasonable expectation they'll die, and they do, you murdered them. That doesn't absolve another person who may have actually carried out the murder. Responsibility is not zero-sum.
