[Debate] Should "swatting" be outlawed?

Re: [Debate] Should "swatting" be outlawed?

Just want to reiterate once again the difference between jail and prison here guys because prisons ARE overcrowded and should only house the most serious of offenders (rape, murder, armed robbery etc)

I think a fine should suffice unless the extremely unlikely scenario dev presented occurs which I think either time in county jail and/or probationary terms should apply.

The moral of this story is, that's what you get for getting into a game as shitty as call of duty. Your shitty taste or lack thereof cause such a disconnected sense of reality that you act like a complete ass and lose all credibility as a person of value.

I'm not a great fan of incarceration either. This is a very tricky matter, especially when you condider how repressive they actually are and how little they contribute to making you a better person. But just getting a fine for taking risks that can put lives on the line doesn't seem to sound right either, the only thing I want for somebody that commits that kind of thing is to make sure he'll never do it again and realize how grave his actions were.

The fact that this has been done enough times that it has been dubbed "swatting" is upsetting to me.

I don't really think this is a debate.

Not a single person in this thread has said Swatting shouldn't be outlawed. The only disagreements have come in reguards to the punishment for doing it.

Just as a personal opinion, I'm getting kind of tired of this.

Like in the creationism vs evolution debate thread, virtually nobody of rational mind that contributes to these discussions believes that creationism holds any merit whatsoever, and yet we were discussing about how different points in the debate are disputed, rather than the different implications and mechanisms behind the belief socially, psychologically, etc.

But that's just my opinion.

Stargroup basically hit the nail on the head. I wasn't trying to discuss the issue itself, but rather the finer points thereof.

I'd be against jail time for swatters myself if only because they'll never survive in there.

Will reiterate once again, the difference between jail and prison. They would be just fine in jail
