Not clicking that link. Not clicking that link. Not clicking that link.

Seriously, fuck these little brats who think wasting taxpayer money to scare someone they don't like is funny. I hope they get raped in prison.

Actually it's a pretty stand up link, not the descent into stumpville you might be expecting.

Wow, what a waste of tax money and the officers' time. I had no idea pranking had escalated to this or that it would even work! I guess that's how it is in this post 911 world. Streamers better keep their locations secret.

Now the juvenile side of me from 20 years ago would think this was hilarious.

Say what you will about cops, many are meatheads, but many more actually take their job seriously. They have to take these threats seriously. They didn't decide to just bust up in your house for the hell of it or to give you a hard time.

You should be upset with the individuals who called the threats in and whatever psychosocial developmental challenges led them to believe this was a good idea to actually act out.

agree 100%

This should have tipped you off that the story was a fake:

Defense lawyers told the courtroom that Horner, who goes by the gamertag BadAssDwg69

Clearly not enough X's in the gamertag to be real.

Plus "Ass" would surely be censored.

Real talk, I wish the article was real. Swatters(?) can fuck off.

I think a tracking collar and forced ditch digging for 5 years would be a just punishment.
