Where are this kid's parents?
Sure, it's one thing to mess with a teenager girl or a young, adult woman. That's one thing that's kinda fucked up.
I do believe that if you have a kid who thinks swatting is an okay thing to do, you fucked up as a parent. The kid who does this needs to be punished (and also agreed, hopefully with an eye on rehabilitation), but if fines start getting implemented for this sort of crime you can bet that parents will be affected as…
This goes way beyond just not being empathetic. I was a shit head as a 16 year old, but I never considered doing crap like this.
Eh. I hesitate at the "THESE KIDS TODAY" argument. Every single person and every single generation has always thought their generation (or the one immediately after theirs) was the worst one to ever happen.
Let's be honest here. A civilian getting shot isn't going to raise enough of a stink with the right people to make anything happen, good or bad. It's going to take a cop being shot by someone who's being swatted who thinks it's a home invasion. That's what's going to make a lot of shit hit a very large fan.

Swatters are really good!
SO much easier to be like that when they're dead though.
Perhaps they'll even blame their relationship problems on her.
Just as fresh as it was in 1981! Reminds me of the years I spent riding around in my wagon with my imaginary tiger friends, I tell ya. We had some great times.
Yeah, people HATE it when you correct them, or try to figure out the motivation for their complaint. I have had people lecture me about so, so many things that they were dead wrong about ("there is no such thing as this kind of mushroom that is sitting on my plate right now") or get offended at further questioning…
As crazy-angry as people get, and as often as restaurant workers are belittled and threatened, I don't blame them for over-obfuscation. As long as it doesn't kill the story, whatever.
Piglio Griglio is my favorite cartoon pig detective.
Not knowing there's gluten in a cheese sauce can be excused, but it blows my mind how many people can't seem to comprehend that beer contains gluten. I can't count how many times I've been reading reviews on Yelp that specify the diner is gluten free, and then talks about their beer-battered X or the beer they had. …
As someone who comes from a culture without restaurants, whole wheat, or hazelnuts, I am personally deeply offended at the way my brethren are being mocked just for not understanding the intricacies of American dining practices.

I'm allergic to melons and I try to be really, really good about it. Like - I could eat a smallish piece of watermelon and just need to take some pills, but more than a small bite of cantaloupe and honeydew can make my day very not fun.
