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.

Considering it costs about $1600/hour to send out 4 fire trucks where i live. According to this, it can cost up to $2500/hour for SWAT, and depending on the severity of the situation can be needed for 12 hours. Let's say the SWAT team needed to be out for 3 hours, which is reasonable considering SWAT protocol. That's 90 hours, or $225,000. Insane.

Just because people pissed you off on the internet? Jesus Christ, that's horrible.

First time I've heard of this, that's absolutely ridiculous. Can't believe that they take the game that seriously.

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.

Daaaaaaaamn, I now know the info I was told was wrong. Therefore, I am wrong....

Thanks for clearing that up though

I think it's absolutely ludicrous that this can happen to people and have nothing done to the party who falsely flagged them as a terrorist. It's a waste of resources, and tax payer money.
