Here you get SWATted for "fun" by kids, and targeted by Right-Wing extremists with death-threats for "political speech", and targeted by criminals based upon your vulnerability. USA is sooooo not Sweden.

The wonderful thing about SWATing is the sinister nature if it. It is a euphemism, for the fact that the US is a police state. So much so that private citizens can manipulate it as a weapon.

There is no consequence, or even drastic change in policy, for the police in the face if this phenomenon. But if the same private citizen were to hire or manipulate a gang to carry out such an attack, everyone would be in prison for life.

    Fantastic point, agreed. My 1980s anger at the authoritarian misuse of "freedom" by Regan-nauts all wearing the same their greased helmet hair is affirmed moreso these days
