Ugh. This young man, actually a few young men, but to focus on the man who considers himself an uber-swatter needs to face some kind of punishment. He, obviously, has not had any consequences for his behaviors in the past. He, still, shows no remorse and a penchant for considering himself some kind of internet-king, evidenced by his accessing the internet via Windows 10, while in jail, and threatening to swat whomever.
The article states that plea negotiations may be underway which could delay or even get the manslaughter charge dismissed.
What a shiftless young man; No job, threatening his grandmother, living only by his wits and the government. He should have faced consequence when he threatened his grandmother, he should have faced consequence when he called in numerous bomb threats in the past.
As to the police, I wish the mother of the swatting victim well. I hope that she is able to get some form of peace. She's not going to get it in the form of any prosecutions. Swatting would not work if we didn't have police departments that shoot first, ask questions later and protect themselves at all cost from any repercussion. Yet, I hold any person who swats equally culpable. They know how the police operate and count on it.
