I now have a new brother, Max. He needs to learn everything, so I am trying really hard to teach him what is and is not acceptable in our house and in public. Some days are very trying for both my humans and me, but we feel a moral obligation to help Max.
That is what we do, right? We teach our children and siblings right from wrong. In theory, all goes well, but occasionally there is an errant child that requires more work:
Recently, a 15 year old online gaming enthusiast took it too far. Seems they have pranks called "swatting", which aren't really pranks, that involve false police reports on opponents that result in raids on houses and businesses. This is obviously illegal.
“BadAssDWG69,” as the gamer called himself, called in multiple false police calls, generated an early-morning no-knock raid that caused the father of the online competitor critical injury and a hospital stay.
This gamer was the first person in history to be charged with a “SWATTING” crime, and it’s already rocked the online gaming world in this country. It certainly rocked the gamer's world as well.
He just earned 25 years to life in federal prison for two counts of domestic terrorism. He took his revenge against a better player for beating him four times online at Battlefield 4.
(SPOOF by downtrend.com: The story is made up but just the fact that it was mistaken by many for a real news story should make everyone remember that Ignorance of the law is no excuse (in the real world or online.)) Our administration should take note of this......
