Once they got enough evidence to charge him with one crime then they can start looking at all the others he 'might' have done.... I suspect if half of what we read he has done is true... we will be spending tax dollars for a few decades just charging him with these... or possibly just to feed him and if it looks like he is going to be released them charge him with another....

This is my guess as well. Swatting has been on law enforcement's radar down here.

From his accounts I hope they will be able to expand and find anyone who hired him to swat and charge them also.

Funny how SWATTING only gets action when it happens to law enforcement.

Donut Operator gets SWATTED weekly and nothing is done.

It needs to be a felony. If someone dies, murder, not homicide, but malice murder.

If he's charged in Federal court it won't matter where is sat or the spread of his target locations.

Or muslims.

300 attacks on Catholic churches (and who knows how many on Protestant churches) in the past three years and...crickets. In fact, apparently it's kosher to spy on traditional Catholics because, you know, we're terrorist threats to "the democracy". Muslims? Pffffft.

I like how that sounded in my head.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

What "finally shut him down" was an arrest in January 2024 which occurred after, apparently, at least 2+ years of tracking this shitstain down.

He is being PROSECUTED for a charge related to a mosque, probably because the prosecutors in that jurisdiction have the ability, will, and charges that can throw the book at this waste of oxygen. This decision, I am sure, made after all the LEO/Prosecution players got together and made the decision of who is going to get this guy first.

I hope his life is going to used as an example for the rest of the . . . things doing this. I echo the hope that those who used him get their karma too. I hope that he rolls on all of them in an attempt to save some of his skin and makes hundreds of enemies.

I guess I need a definition of swatting since I am not clear on what this means?

Calling 911 and making it appear that there's an ongoing violent crime at a specific targeted address, with the intent to have a large number of law enforcement officers respond suddenly. ("Swatting", as in getting a SWAT team to show up there.)

They typically will use electronic means to disguise the phone number they're calling from ("spoofing"), both to shield themselves from discovery as well as often to make it look like the call is originating from the address they're wanting all the cops to respond to. They also frequently use software to disguise their voice. Sometimes they add sound effects too, like gunshots and screaming.

People do it to harass individuals or groups they don't like, or just as malicious "pranks" aimed at schools, famous buildings, celebrities or especially live online video streamers.


For example, you don't like Joe Smith, so you call the 911 dispatch center in Joe Smith's town using software to make it appear that the call originated from Joe Smith's house, and claim that you're Joe Smith, you just murdered your wife and kids, and you're going to murder your neighbors next. Joe Smith and his family are then bewildered when a whole bunch of cops show up at their house, for what appears to them to be no apparent reason.

That's "swatting".

At least one “swatting” victim was killed by responding police when he came out of his house at police command and was believed to be making some sort of “threatening move.”

And it’s not justified just because we don’t like the type of person being victimized or the agency he works for. Keep in mind that a lot of people don’t like our “kind” (i.e., gun owners) either.
