    Would never work here, ringing Mick up in the barracks to drive down in his Mondeo to your mates house to raid him, doesn't have the same effect.

    Lesson learnt.
    SWAT team then raided the house, shooting and critically injuring the “Livestreamer’s” father in the process. -

    In fairness to him, Battlefield 4 and its god-awful netcode can be frustrating to those who play it.... :P

    I'd be calling the SWAT on DICE/EA for pumping out such a half finished mess of a game... :)

    25 to life probably seemed a better option than rage quitting the game at the time!

    Have you ever played fifa ultimate team? 25 to life would definitely be within reason if you were near the person whilst losing! lol

    Waterford Whispers does not own the monopoly on fake news. Jon Stewart is a stand-up comedian not a news anchor. Father Ted was not a real priest.
    Man did land on the moon. Elvis is living in Cavan.
    These are basic facts everybody should grasp.

    The story is pretty poor satire, as swatting is a thing that idiots who lost at video game do, and the people they swat could easily be hurt in the process, and I could see someone getting lengthy sentence for putting people lives in danger, wasting the polices time, and not to mention the money wasted in paying for the swat operation, and the destruction. They story could very easily happen, and tbh a harsh sentence would be justified, maybe not 25 years, but I could easily see a pretty harsh sentence being used to make an example of someone.

    So again poor satire, as this could easily be a real story.

    The fact it could easily be a real story makes it good satire. Whether you think it's in poor taste is a different matter.

    The worrying thing is that many US justice and policing stories seem like satire from a European perspective. Insane over the top gung ho RoboCop policing methodologies and a judicial system that can pass really crazy sentences.

    Anything to do with computer crime in the states tends to attract totally disproportionate sentences for example.

    Considering "SWATTING" is anywhere from 5 to 70 heavily armed police who believe that there is a killer in the house that has killed the mother, and will shoot at anyone else who comes in the door... It's only time before someone gets shot whilst getting SWATTED.

    Not really tho, it just makes it a stupid story. Waterford Whispers publishes proper satire.

    I read the comments at the bottom of the article and they all seem to think it's true. What a weird site.

    Thats not satire. Theres nothing funny or unbelievable about it. This article serves no purpose that I can see.
    Swatting happens, death by cop happens, and ridiculously overblown sentences happen. Havent bothered reading the site, dont think I will.

    Edit: its just like writing about a fake car accident. Whats the point?

    The cost for a swat operations is up to 100k in some states.
    Up to 25 specialist officers are sent on scene. There has been lots of swatting pranks over the last 2yrs, someone was due a hefty sentence.

    Doubt they'll lock him up. Sentence will be reduced on appeal. It's completely disproportionate to the crime.

    That's some epic trolling tho, I LOL-ed tho :D

    EDIT: Just saw that this site is a satirical news site :
