Swatting- a new game that's not funny-not at all :: 06/09/2014
"In recent years, a small amount of hackers and gamers have been "Swatting"-anonymously reporting fake hostage situations, shootings, and other violent crimes so elite police units (like SWAT teams) will bust down the doors of unsuspecting people's homes.
Swatting is a dangerous and expensive prank. It's also easy to pull off. With SWAT teams and paramilitary gear becoming the norm across America, these calls have predictably chaotic results."
When you couple this idiotic "game" with the training SWAT and CIRT teams receive, it's only going to be a matter of time before someone is killed, or their home ends up looking like a piece of Swiss cheese.
