Two things I don't understand here:
1) What kind of sicko gets their jollies by doing something like this?
2) How stupid do you have to be to think you won't be caught?

This same topic has been started in General. I think the net has grown so pervasive in everything that changes need to be made. No longer should it get the free ride that it enjoyed when it was just a curiosity. Make it pay for changes to the 911 system because of the problem it created. -Hal

Make it manditory FEDERAL time they do. A couple of years in Levenworth or the like and they wont do it again. Plus they should have to work at a crisis call center to see what goes on.

I think because the way they did it, it is a federal crime, no?

I think so, Hal - the crimes went across state lines.
The question is more important than the answer.

I thought that Leavenworth was a Military Prision and the main US Federal one was in Marion IL. But then I'm in Canada and not sure where our Max Security Jail really is.
Back to Swatting, I guess that enforcement could be really hard as you could be calling the 911 PSAP from almost anywhere in the world and spoofing your number to be local. I am sure that the RCMP would not turn you over to the FBI if the calls came from Canada.

Okay, off topic but for clarity.... Ft. Leavenworth has the maximum security MILITARY prison. A combined separate medium security military prison next to the USDB is under construction. This is where the Gitmos were supposed to go............. :rolleyes: Leavenworth has a medium security CIVILIAN prison (where Micheal Vick is currently residing). Formerly this facility was MAXIMUM as was Atlanta, Columbus, and Alcatraz. Now Marion is MAX with 7X23 lock down. Florence is also similar but the dead end that Leavenworth used to be is now Marion. We also have the state civilian prison and a contracted US Marshal's holding prison. Prison City is an apt name. Now then, back on topic, the swatting does cross state lines, and, depending on the tracking, it could even come under the Homeland Defense "hang 'em in Gitmo" jurisdiction. Basically these guys are idiots.....

I have no words for that, These are OUR children and OUR grandchildren doing this, what the hell happened? May I answer my own question? I will TYVM. When i was 10, me n a few friends broke into a local gypjoint, we broke open the gumball machines n scored about $5 n a bunch of gumballs, needless to say, we got busted, well we didnt get a smack on the hand and told not to do that again, oh no, we got our asses beat so bad that to this day i flinch thinking of that ass whoopin i got, and no, that was just the start, I was grounded for 6 months (to a 10yo its a lifetime) I was forced to write "I will never steal again, Blood, Sweat and tears" 25,000 times and send it to the owner of place we broke into (5,000 times for each dollar). was it harsh? hell yes it was, but since that day I have NEVER taken anything that didnt belong to me! THEN I HAVE KIDS, they go to school and school teaches them that no matter what they do wrong, if i raise my voice to them, CALL 911 Ok im rambling but think I made my point. more discipline is needed, Time for us to step up n say this politically correct crap isnt working, time for some good oldfashion ass whoopins!
