Sociopaths cannot be cured.
SWATing is literally equivalent to shooting at someone with the intention to kill.
Until there is serious consequences for people who do it, it won't stop.
- arp242 3y agoI never said there shouldn't be serious consequences. Ya'll treating this as some sort of binary choice between "lock a teenager up for life" vs. "give him a slap on the wrist". It's far from certain he actually is a sociopath. Half the teenagers out there are semi-sociopaths on account of being teenagers. And it's really not the same as shooting at someone, much less "with the intent to kill". SWATting is SWATting, and comparing it to other things is silly because other things are, well, other things.
- Tagbert 3y agoNeither is being a child or an adult a binary. Yes, the law generally makes a sharpe distinction based on age, but it does sometime recognize that someone who is close to the age of adulthood and who has been charged with particularly high impact and violent crime can be treated as an adult. Whether an adult should or should not be imprisoned for life is a different question, but I cannot see treating this person a “child” appropriate.
- dudul 3y agoWhat an absurd position. Comparing things helps calibrate the response. You compare situations to others you've experienced in the past to come up with an appropriate reaction. What's the intent of SWATing? It is attempted murder. And no, half the teenagers are not sociopaths. Sociopathy is a well defined condition that cannot be cured. You're clearly neither a doctor nor a lawyer and have chosen a weird hill to die on, but carry on.
