Phony hate crime complaints are “Swatting” too.

one teacher tried to pin his ‘crime’ on a random white person out walking a dog.

And it is doubtful that someone “24” years old is the “head” of any “powerful” organization. A legend in his own mind perhaps.

Charge people who file false charges and abuse 911 but enough with the hysteria and hyperbole.

multiple swatting events targeting journalists

I would have found him Not Guilty, I think the best way to stop the Militarized Police and No Knock anything is to have them Regularly Go through the process themselves by ALLOWING the SWATTING of ANY Public Servant or Officer of the Court, yes JUDGES TOO!!!

IMHO, swatting should be treated as attempted capital murder. If anyone is killed, then the person making the swatting call should be charged with capital murder - whether the deceased is the targeted victim or a law enforcement officer.

[Alas Babylon!]

“The FBI takes swatting seriously because it can have harmful consequences and puts innocent people and first responders at risk,” said James A. Dawson, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office Criminal Division.

Sounds just like what the did to Roger Stone.

Denton chose the two targets because he was furious with ProPublica and the investigative journalist for publishing his true identity and discussing his role in Atomwaffen Division

Evidently Atomwaffen was founded in 2015 by a young guy named Brandon Russell. Seems like a made-to-order hate group founded in time for the 2016 election... they haven't been around very long and I find it very surprising that ProPublica somehow heard of the group since it hasn't exactly got a high profile. I wonder how it came to their attention in the first place?
