Re: Lets talk about "Swatting" and loss of freedom in Americ
You know if you were a prominent streamer and were concerned about getting swatted, couldn't you go down to your local police station and say "Hey I'm concerned about all these swatting incidents in the news, I do alot of video game streaming and am concerned it could happen to me. If you guys ever get a crazy call about my residence could you call me first? Here is my cell #"

Haha, "Hey...so if you get a call about illegal activity at my place, could you call and tip me off before you show up to arrest me? I'll let you know if I am about to do anything wrong."Jmustang1968 wrote:If you live in a small town that might help.ninjainspandex wrote:You know if you were a prominent streamer and were concerned about getting swatted, couldn't you go down to your local police station and say "Hey I'm concerned about all these swatting incidents in the news, I do alot of video game streaming and am concerned it could happen to me.

That would probably put you on some sort of list in most places. "If you ever hear I sell drugs or anything just run that shit by me first, k?"
Sorry ninja, that is too funny. I'm not picking on you though, just playing.

Well they are going to have to figure something out, Swatting is just going to get more and more common now that is getting more coverage in the media. Innocent people are bound to accidentally get shot.

Re: Lets talk about "Swatting" and loss of freedom in Americ
No doubt. I'm afraid the solution is to get the dumb ass people who are doing it to quit. Anything short of that isn't going to work. The police aren't going to keep a list of upstanding citizens whom not to bother if crime is reported. You have to admit that is a funny prospect.ninjainspandex wrote:Well they are going to have to figure something out, Swatting is just going to get more and more common now that is getting more coverage in the media.

Are you saying let the terrorists win? Because that is what these kids who Swat are, terrorists. If they are caught they should be sent to Guantanamo Bay.jp1 wrote:No doubt.

Edit: I thought you meant get the streamers to quit.

We dont trust the Police, and they dont trust us, so no telling them that would make it worse when they do show up i bet.ninjainspandex wrote:Well they are going to have to figure something out, Swatting is just going to get more and more common now that is getting more coverage in the media.
