Rip
25 years in prison with no access to a computer for the rest of their God-forsaken life. These people are scum.
The Twitter handle they were trying to extort from him was @Tennesee.
The person responsible was Shane Sonderman who is currently in jail.
That’s no prank. I propose the death sentence for anyone who does this “swatting.” It should be carried out in public, with everyone invited to watch and cheer.
Premeditated Murder!
Penalties in Tennessee are
Life with possibility of parole
Life without parole
Death penalty
From Tennessee code..
“(d) As used in subdivision (a) (1), premeditation is an act done after the exercise of reflection and judgment. Premeditation means that the intent to kill must have been formed prior to the act itself. It is not necessary that the purpose to kill pre-exist in the mind of the accused for any definite period of time.”
Needs to be a death penalty for “Swatting” since it IS Attempted Murder!
From the story:
“A kid in the United Kingdom made the call to my dad’s local police,” Fitch said.
The accomplice will not be extradited from the United Kingdom because he’s currently a minor.”
If this were my dad I think I would be planning a trip. I hear England is nice this time of year.
Apart from what should happen to these two thugs the police should be sued as well. They get a call from the UK and respond in full force? They did nothing to verify who the caller was and where he was?
How is that any different than the cops in Idiocracy?
And the cops are all too willing to just trust every call they get and pull guns on anyone around.
My recommendations is never go near a cop and never answer the door for a cop.
I think Shane Sonderman should be fitted for a hemp necktie, assuming the law allows it.
Weak sentence for the perp, only 5 years. IMHO he should be executed.
