Four years is not enough.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The boy should be charged for every penny that was wasted because he’s a friggin’ total retard.

[Surrounded_too]

EARNS A DEATH SENTENCE just for the ripple effect, even if nobody died.

[Jamestown1630]

Idiot was apparently advertising to do this for a fee...

[aquila48]

The little punk...

[Robert DeLong]

Alan Winston Filion Created a Website and Was Selling His Swatting Services Online to Radical Leftists Where They Could Purchase His Swat for a Fee

[GingisK]

It is not. He should also have to pay the expenses of those raids and any property damage or medical expenses.

[dljordan]

“Four years is not enough.”

Four years hard labor would do it.

[dljordan]

Yes, he’s going to be a punk.

[T.B. Yoits]

In his defense, that forehead gap looks like Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

[decal]

Take a look at him - you think that is going to make it through four years in prison? He’ll be a little ball of fluff before he gets a parole hearing.

[piasa]

Ah yes, the trans...almost always the trans.

[No name given]

It should be four millenniums.

[No name given]

And deservedly so.

[lee martell]

Alan or Alice?

[Apparatchik]

He wanted attention. Now he will get a lot of it.

In prison.

He shore has a purty mouth.

[piasa]

Everyone who was SWATed by this jackarse and every cop who was involved should be given a paddle and lined up on both sides of an alley. Anyone too feeble gets a second selected from a team of major League baseballplayers to fill in. Then let him run the gauntlet however long that line is... in shackles.

[ridesthemiles]

SURE WOULD LIKE TO SE A PIC AFTER 4 YEARS-—

IF HE LASTS THAT LONG

[Yogafist]

Four years? You think he will do four years? I had a friend whose uncontrollable son killed someone while driving, not DUI, but a long story. In the promise the LA DA pushed to get the victims family to agree to a plea deal, the kid was supposed to do a solid four years. He was out in 18 months.
