    “Like pouring salt in the wound, you left a voicemail for our chief of police directing him to an online post where you gloated about the event. You wasted countless hours when our patrol officers could have responded to emergencies. I traveled 2400 miles to tell you this in person. I told you that you would be held accountable,” Grispino said during the hearing.

    If you call yourself a cyber-terrorist you should be ransomwaring banks, not swatting normal people

    “The caller laughed and taunted officers, stating that he was hiding under multiple VPNs (virtual private networks),”

    "Good luck I'm behind seven proxies!"

    Swatting should be treated as attempted murder. If a person dies in the altercation, then premeditated murder.

      Swatting should be considered a failure of law enforcement.

      If a police department gets tricked into Swatting an innocent party due to a fraudulent call to 911, the entire department should be disbanded and replaced with officers who do due diligence before busting people’s doors down. If anyone dies, the officer who signed off on the raid gets charged with murder.

          Yep. If the department ignores a call, believing it’s a hoax, & it turns out not be?

          Someone’s gonna shit the bed if that goes down.

      I believe US law punishes the person committing a crime if the police kills someone intervening to said crime.

    I’ll bet a $50 he either had exactly 1, or even none at all.

      Let’s not celebrate our shitty prison system’s utter disregard to keep the people inside it safe.

            Hardly. You asked what they meant. That’s what they meant. I didn’t say it. They did.

              Uhh, I can see what you said in the modlog…

              They’re gonna fuck his little boy asshole until it bleeds.

              You weren’t answering the question, you were advocating for prison rape of a teenager.

                tsonfeir reported this comment because you quoted his comment, which broke community rules.

                Same thing as fair use - you weren’t making the comment, you were arguing against the comment. Leaving it. tsonfeir can deal with the shame of his words.

                Gave them a 7-day ban for that comment, plus trying to win an argument via reporting you.

                I know what the modlog is.

                I don’t advocate prison rape.

                He’s 21, not a teenager. Don’t lie to beef up your argument.

                My intention is not your interpretation, and with any joke, you can choose to not get offended.
