A teenager “serial swatter” from California is believed to be responsible for hundreds of swatting incidents and bomb threats throughout the US according to a pretrial detention motion. Now he has been extradited to Florida to face charges for a swatting incident at a mosque, according to the Seminole County State Attorney’s Office.
Why isn’t as big a deal in other countries, though? Time to put on our critical thinking caps!
Is it because they have more measures in place to identify false threats? Does this also coincide with LE ignoring real threats?
Is it because their population doesn’t see the value in swatting as much as other nations’? (i.e. do they have fewer incels?)
Is it something else?
It’s because the police don’t carry around assault rifles as a matter of course that’s why.
If there is a hostage taker you want to negotiator not an attack force. If a negotiator goes to the property and it’s a false flag no issue.
Sending in an armed force is literally the worst response in both real and false situations.
You clearly don’t know the history behind why the SWAT teams were created. Educate yourself and then come back to us.
