I don't think it's fair to say that swatting was a "prank". Bad reporting. They shouldn't even pretend this narrative was ever true. >his idea of a prank For example, there is no evidence that the perp thought of it as a prank. The perp was paid for some of his bomb threats and swatting of others. This is aking to calling a mob enforcer "pranking" someone by breaking their legs. Simply saying that they broke the persons legs for fun, instead of money this time, doesn't make it suddenly a prank. They know what they are doing, and the goal is fear.
