I thought it was more just a random news event. Cause that's what it is.
 
So apparently, kids call cops on each other and get points based on how much police force was used.

New York teen gamer latest victim of 'swatting,' police say

Police received a call at about 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon from a person who identified himself as Rafael Castillo, a 17-year-old from Long Beach, N.Y.

"I just killed my mother and I might shoot more people," the person said, according to police.

The threat prompted Nassau County police to scramble helicopters and send a SWAT team to Castillo's home, leading to a two-hour standoff that involved more than 60 officers, some with guns drawn.

When police arrived, they found Castillo's mother, 54-year-old Maria Castillo, making coffee in the kitchen. Castillo himself did not immediately respond because he was in his room still playing the game with headphones on.

Castillo's mother said the time has now come for him to put down the "Call of Duty" controller.

"The kid played too much," she told WPIX-TV. "Go work. He's 17, he can work.

I read this on GamePolitics. there were a few comments regarding this note:
Michael Tangney said:
If we determine who made this call, there will be an arrest. He did something so, so foolish, and so dangerous. I’m very angry -- it’s a tremendous waste of taxpayer resources, it’s a tremendous danger to law enforcement.

a frequent commenter said in responce:
Notice that he does not mention the danger to the innocent people who live in the home that had the SWAT team called on. I think their lives are pretty valuable too.

another commenter said:
I hope they find the idiot who pulled this prank. In real situations like this cops might deploy "Shoot first, Ask later", meaning they could of killed the innocent kid.

"Now the driver of the SUV, Sharlene Simon, 42, a mother of three, formerly from Innisfil, is suing the dead boy for the emotional trauma she says she has suffered. She’s also suing the two other boys, as well as the dead boy’s parents, and even his brother, who has since died. She’s also suing the County of Simcoe for failing to maintain the road.

In a statement of claim filed with the court, Simon is claiming $1.35 million in damages due to her psychological suffering, including depression, anxiety, irritability and post-traumatic stress. She blames the boys for negligence."

This has been the most fucked up news article I've read.
