Swatting has got to stop.

Another day another swatter. This week another gamer has been swatted by a random individual while streaming, The streamer who goes by the name DSP was the target of a swatting attack. not only was he being swatted but the individual was DDOSing him too. Someone really had it out for him.
In case you don't know what swatting is, Swatting is when a individual calls the police to the streamers house claiming things such as a murder has taken place or there's a bomb on the property and it causes the swat to come out drawing guns on the streamer and arresting them until they confirm there is no threat. It is a real dangerous act that is putting a lot of large streamers lives in danger.

In the case of DSP, he notified the police in the area that he was a streamer and that streamers were being targeted by these sorts of acts. Luckily in his case the police just rolled up and asked him to come out the front with his hands up and that is all that happened. He claimed for the next 5 minutes he talked to the cops about it and that the cops already knew that it would of been a fake call but they have to respond to call outs like that. Not all streamers are lucky like that though, some streamers have had the cops come in to their homes have guns drawn on them, told to get on the ground and arrested. Not only that but there family also have guns drawn on them.

For DSP though it didn't end there. With DSP making it public what had happened and how the events went smooth and the swatter didn't win, the swatter got even more personal. The Swatter went after DSP's family, it's been reported that DSP's girlfriends dad was swatted too and to make it even worse her father has a severe heart condition that could of caused him to have a fatal heart attack over such an event.

It really does take a sick individual to pull of one of these pranks, it's not a joke,  it's not funny, they are putting peoples lives at risk pulling that shit. These people do get caught though. in a recent case a swatter was sentenced to 5 years in jail, not only that but he has to pay $79,000 in restitution to his swatting victim. You seriously have to weigh up if it's worth losing 5 years of your life just to get a kick out of putting someone else's life at risk if they're one of these individuals.

For DSP though, weather you like him or not, it doesn't matter. Swatting is a disgusting thing to do to someone that is just trying to broadcast their gameplay to the world. I understand that this article is more that likely just feeding a troll, but I'm sure them trolls won't be laughing when the law catches up with them. I'll leave you with a swatting video so you can see for yourself just how deadly this act is.
