Talk:Swatting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is bullshit! Firstly, swatting is not a "prank", it is a serious crime, which can land you in federal prison. Reading this article as of now, a basement-dwelling spotty fat geek may think swatting the second neighbour for pure fun is an excellent idea, but when he has to share a supermax cell with a 7' tall abusive negro for five years, it is too late to regret.

If I heard correctly a 19 year old asshole named Randal Ellis from Mukilteo already got into big trouble after a string of swatting incidents in 2005 and 2006, the FBI got him and took him to Lake Forest court. Possibly in prison now, although I did not find news on the result of his trial.

Also there was a case where an HK MP5 armed SWAT team invaded the false address at midnight using helicopter rappel because of a swatting trick. Guess how the residents felt about that... The elimination of deaf-oriented text-to-speech phone services is already under consideration, because of their frequent misuse to create swatting "pranks". A few antisocial assholes are destroying peoples' lives and hurt the services created for the disabled people, just to make borderline terrorist "pranks".

The amoral stance of the current article should be adjusted to fit common values. 82.131.210.162 (talk) 17:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
