Swatting story was fake, nvm!

[mcmel]

Good. That poor dad.

Why the hell would a kid (or anyone) think this is ok?

25 yrs is an appropriate punishment.

[zoidberg]

I read the subject and thought swatting = smacking, which seemed pretty harsh.

After reading the body I think this is a suitable punishment. The poor father.

Wow. I happy to see this won't be tolerated.

Whoa...sucks he made such a dumb decision at 15 years old. I'm always really torn in these cases because now his whole life is pretty fucked up, but on the other hand WTF? and consequences, yo.

[bab]

It is appropriate and hopefully will put an end to this ridiculous nonsense. What an asshole!! That poor father!!

[marylennox]

Wow. That is a special brand of idiot.

Omg wtf is wrong with people? I agree with the punishment.

Eta: wait? He is 15?
Eta again: I am so relieved this is fake news!!!!! Lol

I think 25 to life is too much for a 15 year old. But I am not a fan of long sentences for minors, like I am not a fan of trying minors as adults.

I absolutely think he should have been sentenced to a few years in juvenile hall though. Because that shit is beyond fucked up. But people guilty of manslaughter get shorter terms than 25 to life.

Relieved to know it was a bogus story. Hope some idiot doesn't make it a true story.

[joshlyman]

Oh thank god this is fake. I was all ragey lol

Swatting is real (happened to quite a few celebs if I recall) and it is horrible, but PHEW
