I don't really see a point in swatting people for fun, as you're potentially putting yourself in a lot of danger ._.'

Yeah, but I'd prefer not being at risk of someone busting down my door.

I've said this elsewhere, but what it comes down to is a real "hitman" doesn't advertise, anywhere.

It's true that SWAT doesn't automatically mean murder, but things can go wrong if you aren't expecting it.

If doxing a guy that has his full name, work history, picture, and a general location posted on his website is an accomplishment, sign me up.

I would actually never SWAT anyone because I know with the forums I hang out on, anybody would just bite back 10x harder, and it would leave a scar. A scar on my front fucking door that is.

I honestly don't believe any of those hitman sites are real, real killers for hire would never advertise a service like that.

Some would on Tor websites if they really needed the money and didn't care about the chance of being caught.

If they didn't care about getting caught they shouldn't care about money.

If they didn't care about being caught, it means that they will do anything to get the money in hopes they don't get caught.

But if they needed the money that badly they could rob a bank instead of learning HTMl, making a site on TOR, and posting an ad for cheap murder.

With robbing a Bank, there is a much higher chance of you getting caught then just sitting in a window with a sniper or shanking someone in the back. Jus sayin'.
