Mars_AttacksSerial SWATter For Hire Guilty
I hope this little shit gets the max for each count.
He offered his "services" up for radical leftists.
There has to be a tracible list of customers to go after.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/u...ds-guilty-rcna180066In one of the most prolific “swatting” cases ever prosecuted, a teenage “serial swatter” pleaded guilty Wednesday to making hoax threats to schools, religious institutions and government officials about mass shootings and bombings across the country.
Alan Filion, 18, of Lancaster, California, pleaded guilty to four counts of making interstate threats, the Justice Department said. Filion faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison for each charge, federal prosecutors said.
From August 2022 to January, Filion made more than 375 swatting and threat calls, including calls in which he claimed to have put bombs in place, threatened to detonate bombs or carry out mass shootings, officials said.
He became a “serial swatter” — making false accusations to send law enforcement officers rushing to a location — for profit and entertainment, court documents said. Prosecutors said he turned swatting into a business by advertising his swatting services on social media for a fee.
Authorities said he was responsible for hundreds of swatting incidents throughout the country, including in Maryland, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Washington and Texas.
Filion was 16 when he made most of the calls that targeted high schools, colleges, government officials, religious establishments and the homes of FBI agents, prosecutors said.
“He caused profound fear and chaos,” Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in the statement.
Attorneys listed for Filion in court records could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday afternoon.
In January 2023, Filion was extradited to Florida from California after having swatted a mosque months earlier in Sanford, Florida. Prosecutors said Filion targeted the Masjid Al Hayy Mosque and threatened to commit a mass shooting. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI tracked his posts on Telegram offering up his swatting services, as well as recordings of swatting calls.
In the incident in Sanford, Filion claimed to have an illegally modified AR-15, a Glock 17 pistol, pipe bombs and Molotov cocktails, prosecutors said. He said he was going to imminently “commit a mass shooting” and “kill everyone," prosecutors said.
“He claimed in a Jan. 19, 2023, online post that his ‘first’ swatting was like ‘2 to 3 years ago’ and that ‘6-9 months ago [he] decided to turn it into a business,’" prosecutors said, noting Filion posted on social media advertising his services.

.38supersigAttempted murder. 375 counts. Death penalty.
Can I be on the jury?

tatortoddSome missing details in the article. Out of the 375 calls:
How many citizens killed, wounded, or injured by LEOs?
How many LEOs killed, wounded, or injured by innocent citizens?
How many dogs killed, wounded, or injured by LEOs?
Another missing detail, is the article focuses on the federal charges but doesn't detail any state charges (e.g. Maryland, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Washington and Texas can charge him).
Without the above, there is no way to know if interstate threats is slap on the wrist.

Spiff_P239Fuck that guy. I hope he gets the maximum punishment allowed.

abnmacvPrison for a good long stint and restitution for the cost involved by law enforcement. Make an example out of this creep.

PatenHe pled guilty to 4 charges. How many charges were there? If he's only being charged for 4 instances and he pled guilty to them, he probably had a deal where he'll be serving any sentences concurrently. So probably 5 years max plus parole/probation if applicable.

83v45magnaFillion could serve as one hell of a great example of what not to do when they bring back the electric chair just for him.

radiomanI wonder if he could be personally sued by any of the targets that he swatted.
not that he has any money or anything to go after.

oddballThis kid is a real piece of shit.
He not only targeted schools, churches, but also politicians like Mayorkas, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rick Scott, and an unnamed former POTUS, among a hundred others. I hope they throw this dude to the wolves in gen pop.

TMatsClosing paragraph from the article oddball posted (thanks, much more information there).

Filion’s family could not be immediately reached for comment. A sentencing date for the teenager has not yet been set.
He may be a “teenager,” but fortunately he’s also an adult now and subject to the full force of the law. I say a
minimum of 25 years.
