  While she’s trying to raise money for her grandkid’s cancer treatment, no less.

  Seriously, fuck whoever did this.

      With cancer even with places that do have socialized medical care you might still need a lot of money.

      Cancer sucks.

        I agree cancer sucks, but how do you need money? There is no fee to access healthcare here.

      She couldve died, they frequently shoot innocent people and animals during these raids

      Swatting is fucked up

      Why do you think that? Do they mention some kind of payout in the video? It sounds unlikely to me.

        No, but the attention they’re getting is probably orders of magnitude bigger after this, and attention=money in this case

        They didn’t say THAT HAPPENED FOR SURE, they said “dark thought”

  We’re in Generation Duh where people think doing this kind of thing is funny. But it’s funny only to them, was thought up of in 2 minutes, then discarded once any attention has been brought to it before they think of the next stupid idea that they think is funny.

  Perhaps the problem is the swat teams doing this shit with zero verification.
