That news report was fake, the website is a satire website and the image used for the “case” was taken from this one

Man I hope thats not the kinda person that makes you rage online. They just get a mute button from me. I’m not in junior high anymore and I aint got time for that shit.
holy cow! thats some scary stuff!
I’m frowning that most of you read that news report and thought it was real (I was hoping it was, but then it became obvious that the site is a satire site).
Can’t 911 calls be traced? Swatting is utterly stupid. Waste of resources and endangers lives. I kind of hope (but not really) they do this with ambulances, because somebody is going to have to pay for that and I’m hoping it gets put back on the prank caller.
Everybody thinks it’s funny until it happens to them.
It can but when it’s done from a computer things can get fuzzy.
nvmd, I feel for it to
Hopefully convictions like this will have people stop doing such a stupid prank.
Wow I can’t believe nobody has posted that on this page.
I pretty much just mute everyone with a mic now.
Most swatting depends on it. Not sure of the ins and outs, but remember reading that computers in a persons house would be hacked and distress calls/messages would be routed via their IP.
I imagine that makes it a more convincing argument to send SWAT round over normal police, since it sounds like a hostage situation right off the bat, rather than a potential domestic issue.
