Chilling. Absolutely chilling. IMO, Attempted Murder would not be too far of a stretch to charge. 40 counts of it would put someone away for a very very long time. I'm assuming the caller sounded adult, which means he might be one. Throw the book at him.

Swatters should all be charged with Attempted Murder. One count per person involved, including every police officer on scene. They are purposely endangering the life of every single innocent person there and the lives of every single cop that has to respond the hoax.

Fucking handcuff my nuts, fuck you piece of shit cops saying its protocol to handcuff someone. Fuck that shit. Wanna know why people resist? Because nobody wants to be fucking handcuffed.

I'd wager they actually hope people get shot. It's why I think this should fall under attempted murder. The "clear the area, somebody has a gun..." demonstrates intent considering the measures police take with such knowledge.

The punishment must be as harsh as possible to get people to stop even thinking about doing this
