Thoughts on Swatting?
« on: December 29, 2013, 02:50:43 am »
If you're unaware, Swatting is when a prankster calls 9-1-1 through an untraceable method and claims to be inside a house, and says there is a man with a gun and he has killed multiple people. This usually causes Swat teams to show up and enter the house with guns drawn, and commonly bust down the door and throw flashbangs through the windows. The costs of this type of pranks usually ranges to about $10,000. The majority of the time, the pranksters cannot be traced.


So, what are your thoughts on this prank?

Well, how much do you trust your "untraceable method" of calling? Shit like this is very serious, and people that pull pranks like this are massive douchebags.

If you can't explain it to a 6 year old, you don't understand it yourself.

I think you got your answer. Remember that these guys do a very great job when they move out to such situations. Don't waste their time, there might be another, real situation, going on somewhere else, they can't reach because of you wasting both their and your time.
