Really? I think it does. "Hmm, this guy in Call of Duty made me mad because he kept winning. Should I do something that puts me in prison for 15 years to get back at him? nah... Should I hire someone to do something that puts me in prison for over a year to get back at him? nah..."

It's 15 months, not years.

  Did you stop reading halfway through? "Should I hire someone do something that puts me in prison for over a year to get back at him"

  The person that actually carried out the SWATing got over 15 years. The person that hired the SWATer got just over a year.

    Wrong. The person that actually carried out the swatting, is unnamed and does not face charges (the SWAT team member who shot and killed an unarmed, unidentified person).

Do you think people thought this was okay prior? Obviously not, but what do you think they were assuming the worst case scenario was for them? Prior to this whole case playing out, I would have assumed "going to jail" would be an extremely likely outcome for the crime of swatting, especially if it had the (intended?) effect of killing the person involved.
