		mrala on Feb 11, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A man has been swatted 47 times for making a joke ... Well, that’s certainly a hot take. Your framing of getting swatted as “police keep showing up” is incredibly disingenuous considering there is documented proof that the calls were fake. Having a 2654 page thread does not justify anyone getting swatted as some vague form of internet vigilantism.

I'm not trying to justify the calls, I'm only trying to explain why the police are obliged to take these calls seriously.

You have not justified that these calls need to be taken seriously.
