You guys are calling for swat to have better awareness or knowledge om a situation but you won't hold yourself to that same line.
What's wrong with knowing this guy and seeing if something can help him? No? Just prison and twenty years?
If you can't be open to learn more and having better optiins to help people then don't hold for changes in police mentality either. There is little difference in how your keeping a one line fits all
If it's so bad to not need to talk and know a person before they have any chance, then we strongly disagree.
Twenty years is no joke, not at all
If you can easily ruin anyone's life over what could be, could be a big mistake on a potentially decent person... Then thank goodness we don't do it your way.
I'm not condoning swatting at all, but bullying and many things cause murder to if you want to say swatting does.
We can't change always being so strong minded and having things so easily said. We need to sit down and help people grow, you think prison helps? I disagree. He will not be better for prison.
The idea of prison is already silly for many anyways. People need help, prison doesn't provide this.
I cant believe this has to be said, but, SWAT are paid and trained officers of the Law, most of us Gaffers arent.
My job isnt to asses and deal with terrorism, I dont think us civilians asking for more accountability, to both the police, and the dumb fucks doing the swatting, is a bad or crazy thing.
You keep going on about 20 years being too much, and 2 years of jail time could kill you.
Well guess what, its supposed to be bad. its supposed to deter you from doing crime.
Everytime you think about stealing something, you weigh up the good and the bad, and thats how it should be.
These guys almost got a man killed. His life is forever changed, all because he played some game online, and pissed someone off.
You keep thinking about the jail time being too much for these 20 year olds, what about the poor bastard who almost died?
We NEED strict laws on this kind of shit to deter people from doing it.
EDIT: Prison isnt JUST about reform and help dude, its fucking punishment for your actions.
Prison is punishment first and foremost.
