So the guy who got someone killed by SWATTING them is facing jail time for involuntary manslaughter (if convicted). But he's already in jail awaiting the court hearing, with his bail set at half a million dollars. So yeah, he's in there til his day in court at the very least.
From his first interview from his jail cell he said "Of course, you know, I feel a little of remorse for what happened," he tells KWCH. "I never intended for anyone to get shot and killed. I don't think during any attempted swatting anyone's intentions are for someone to get shot and killed..."
Let me get out my violin.
First of all, I think the guy's lying through his teeth there. After doing this shit for how many years, and seeing others do it for how many years and seeing HOW MANY CLOSE CALLS we've had in the past, how the FUCK can you not think someone might actually get killed?
Second of all, this is probably the biggest part of the problem. The fuckers swatting someone AREN'T THINKING. And that rather makes them dangerous - enough so that I'm fine with them getting put away if they get caught. (And I don't particularly think someone needs to lose their life for that to happen.
So yeah, hopefully this guy does end up in prison. Perhaps it'll put a bit of a chill effect on the other punks out there that get their jollies off of doing this kind of crap.
It's amazing how fast this guy started saying how remorseful he is about what he did after he got caught. His first reactions after doing the SWAT was the standard gloating. Then when he realized someone got killed because of him, he immediately went into denial mode "I didn't kill anyone." followed almost immediately by trying to hide his tracks by renaming his account on twitter, etc. Sadly people had already gotten a good deal of his tweets and shit saved before he did that. It wasn't until he was caught that he stopped trying to deny it regardless of what he says.
Let's not forget his own epic tweet "if you can't pull off a swat without getting busted you're not a leet hacking God its that simple."
