'Swatting?' Seriously?

[Arlo]

"The person who was to be the target of the swatting sent a Tweet saying, “Someone tried to swat me and got an innocent man killed.”

Livingston, the deputy police chief, would only provide the block number of the home where the shooting occurred, not the specific address. Police were seen in the front yards of two houses across from each other at the corner of Seneca and McCormick.

Dexerto, a online news service focused on gaming and the Call of Duty game, reported the argument began over a $1 or $2 wager over the game.

“Normally this is a prank, but due to the high stress situation, sometimes it is closer to a death threat from a user trying to get cops to kill them,” one man told The Eagle in an email.

The officer who fired the shot — a seven-year veteran of the police department — will be placed on administrative paid leave, which is department policy.

Police expect to release more information later Friday."

A lot of you live in a dream world and must not see a lot of the comments on 200, heard about a lot of people's arrests, ect ect ect. Aces High is just as bad then any gaming community, just has a lot smaller number.

I think this needs to be a federal crime, it is playing with fire over the telecom network.

...... and must not see a lot of the comments on 200 ....

I've had 200 squelched for years. It became juvenile central and I don't have the patience for that (I was busy enjoying a game).

Has there been swatting/personal threats made on that channel by someone who makes the game a personal vendetta?

Swatting happens when streamers accidently leak their address...I'm sure most people aren't putting that info on 200...but there's definitely been plenty of stuff said by "honorable" stand up players that are almost just as bad as some kid calling a the cops on some streamer.

There's a lesson in this.

This has been going on for quite some time actually.
Some people just hate to lose.  (especially if they are the ones hosting an event)

Tell me the lesson, have I said something bad on 200? Calling someone stupid for their gameplay isn't anywhere near what I'm talking about...not in the same ball field.

Then there are those that take things a bit too personal and take to hating others for that. Relax. I'll be wishing you a Happy New Years while you want mine to suck before you know it.

Just a troll....

Seems your go to term when you get uncomfortable. You might be surprised that I don't dislike you in the least. I just don't like some of the things you do or say and I'm not the least bit shy in saying so. I guess that means I'm more into supporting the community than your fragile ego. My hope for you, in the New Year, is that you'll learn to get over it. You have potential, in that regard.

It is and some or all states have their own laws too.


There is a wichita PD that lives down the street from me.  He can’t say much on the shooter and PD keeping low key.  Guess KBI investigateing the shooting part and working with FBI on the caller.

Your a troll...makes you just as bad as my comments....that's the point. Get off your high horse.

If you're looking for some sort of equivalency for justification by going to your 'troll' whine then good luck with that.

I'd suggest less thin skin and more character building effort.

`Tis the season to get over all that. Try putting it behind you. Don't jump to conclusions that all my posts are actually about your behavior in the arena (you took 'There's a lesson in this' way too much to heart. But then again, I let you ). 'The lesson' was in general terms.

" ... but there's definitely been plenty of stuff said by "honorable" stand up players that are almost just as bad as some kid calling a the cops on some streamer."

^This isn't good for the game. I have to take your word for it happening. Ch 200 ain't my thing. But the lesson is just that. Let it go ... let it goooooo .....

This would go a lot faster if you two just whipped em out and grabbed a ruler. 

Regarding the OP... it is truly a sad state of affairs when the youth of today can't accept that a game is a game. I hate to use the word 'entitled' because it seems to get thrown around a lot when describing millenials, undeservedly. There are many bad eggs in the carton, and they always seem to stink the most. I hope the two "gamers" get punished, but mostly the idiot that actually started the process of the swat raid. I hope the officer that pulled the trigger learns to live with his decision and that it doesn't haunt him forever.
