Littelton Schools on lock down

[GilpinGuy]

I figured someone said "Bless you" or some other atrocity. Glad it was "just a prank", even though the douche who did it a complete ass, and that the kiddos are all ok.

Live video of the "swatting" in action....

skip to about 1:40 on the video to see the cops bust in

That's why you need armed teachers and LEO at each school.
Who needs a lockdown when you have superior firepower.

On another board which mentioned this, someone said that a swatting should be prosecuted as attempted murder, due to the high potential danger that the person being swatted faces.

I'm all for it! If you make such a false report like that, you should be the one screwed. It's just a matter of time until one of these turns fatal (if it's not already), best to start the harsh sentence now.

Yeap, What do you think would have happened to that dude playing video games or anyone else in that building if they had a CCW on them at the time?

CA was considering a law (not sure what it's status is) where the prankster would have to pay for the SWAT deployment (roughly $10,000)... I wouldn't be opposed to this at all.

What in the blue hell would possess someone to call the freaking SWAT team on someone because of something they did to them in a goddamn video game. Fucking punkass kids...someone is going to die because of this, and I really hope the DA brings them up on 1st degree murder charges.

Unbelievable. I'd never heard of such a thing until I saw this on the news last night. Idiotic, dangerous actions like this make me wish for the return of pillories.

It would appear that the author of said article from The Free Thought project has a REAL bug up his butt about police in general, and has omitted several salient points about the incident so as to make things seem as though the cops overreacted. For instance, with a call about a live shooter scenario, his suggestion of the police "making a phone call or sending out a single officer to knock and ask questions" is about as stupid as making these "swatting" calls.

"Excuse me, we heard there was a possible shoo-" BLAM BLAM BLAM! "Officer down." I agree... I love how so many "journalists", especially after Ferguson, are suddenly experts in LE procedure.

It's not just journalists.
