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

  Swatting is fucked up

    The most fucked up thing is that SWAT teams keep falling for it. What fucking information did they have that warranted this level of a response? How the fuck is someone not fired every time this happens?

  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

      I’m afraid “Watch Streamer Get Swatted” is a saturated market. Likely breaking the age record may help though

        This was objectively a bad decision, but regardless, none of us would be here talking about this streamer if it hadn’t happened. Most won’t donate, but the more people that see it, the more likely it is that someone will donate.

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

      If I’m allowed to post thoughts on the internet then why are you yelling at me?

        I didn’t yell, I capitalized part of my comment for effect. You can to that on the internet, too! You can also take people’s comments out of context, like you did, but then you’re liable to incur the wrath of some twat correcting you.
