Until the penalty for swatting isn't the same as blindly firing a gun in the direction of peoples homes it's not going to stop.
Until US police are required to think of the safety of others before themselves, swatting will continue to kill people unnecessarily.
- Arrath 3y agoI genuinely believe that Swatting should be considered on the level of attempted murder or similar offence, for the person making the call. Enough of these events have already ended tragically and it just shows that every incident is on the knife's edge of something terrible happening. And that's without getting into the other side of the issue where the cops are all too happy to show up ready to rock and roll, amped up and on a hair trigger.
