There's no need to reply, really. Look around, they all have twenty five posts! They won't reply back.

OT: I saw this on BBC News; although amusing, what is this, 2012?!

The "news" site that reported on this, National Report, is known for satirical articles. They didn't catch the guy who did this specific SWAT, apparently. The National Report article also incorrectly states that the kid is the first person to ever be arrested from SWATting someone, when in reality a 16-year-old kid in Ottawa, Canada was connected to over 30 incidents at schools and other people's homes.

Holy crap. I'd have thought you would get in trouble for swatting just once, but thirty times? Imagine the amount of money and resources that he wasted, along with the emotional damages some people might have suffered.

Yeah I saw that too! Scary shit right there.
