Pretty scary stuff.

 

That's so pathetic, hope the kid who did this to him gets 10 years or more

 

Wow that's crazy... Some people take online shit way too seriously

 

That's pretty disturbing considering his brother was 10 years old too.

This number doesn't sound accurate unless there was some public announcement that he was going to be swatted.

Reminds me of a Dota 2 streamer who was robbed in the middle of a stream.

 

They're doing it to Runescape players now? Its already sad as is. Hope they get caught.

 

This has happened once to a guy name phant0mlord or whats his name on twitch.tv

Not only that he got swatted by the police but of all the games he played, the hackers or whatever took the game down.. so dota, league, etc all down

 

Is this type of thing a regular occurrence? Do people actually get people "swatted" when they live stream?

 

No, but it's becoming increasingly common. And apparently? That's what article is about...

 

Not as scary as you posting this in the market discussion

 

Swatting happens more often than you'd think.

Is it just me though or does it seem like he's putting on a bit of drama? Fair enough to be upset over it but that's just asking for more attention..

 

Mb, req'd move. Didn't even notice lol

 

Damn that's depressing

 

People think they are all bad as shit behind a computer. sad af
