“Swatting” - what the fuck is wrong with people

because he was going to do twice that in 2 different states …… and until recently ca had the death penalty

There’s a difference between fault and responsibility.

*Barriss called in false report to Kansas police at the behest of two gamers, Casey Viner, 18, and Shane Gaskill, 25, authorities said. Viner asked Barriss to make the call as an act of retaliation against Gaskill after a game of “Call of Duty” ended badly.

Barriss then taunted Gaskill in Twitter direct messages, before Gaskill challenged the California man to swat him, according to court records. Gaskill gave Barriss the address to a home where Gaskill had once lived that was then occupied by Finch’s family.*

Question: have Viner and Gaskill been charged/ convicted of anything? I think they both are partly responsible for the death and should be held accountable.

Those cops contracted to put their lives on the line for money. Got it?

yeah the other two have been charged but with minor charges

this is what the la times says :

also the SWAT were told people had been shot hostages were tied up an an older guy was walking around with a gun …. so them taking the shot that fast dosent surprise me ……

this is the most complete story ive found online :

Why only minor? It seems to me that they both have a lot of responsibility in this matter.
