Swatting Prison Sentence: 3 years is not enough

Agreed, 3 years is not enough for these cats. Call in a SWAT team level emergency on someone else...10-15 years should be a minimum sentence IMO.
Agreed, but by the looks of him, it's going to be a rough 3 years
He is probably getting some leeway due to his young age. But 3 years still seems a bit light. Especially for someone who's done it multiple times.
For just swatting, 3 years is light, but 10-15 is too much. 5-10 feels right with kickers for anyone injured during the process. Plus fines for damages.
For this specific asshat, since he did it so many times, set up an entertainment aspect, he DEFINITELY needs to get more time. And I hope once he serves his time in the US, he gets a compare / contrast to Canadian prisons since he committed crimes in both countries.

Maybe if three years meant three years. But in a world where three years means 18 months, it seems pretty light.
He is going to miss his mom making his lunch and doing his laundry.
It's implying that it's a real possibility when someone is unexpectedly swatted.
It's more of reckless endangerment since there isn't the obvious intent for them to be killed but you are certainly creating a situation where they could be killed or harmed very easily.
I think it’s more about them arriving with the ability to kill and the idea in their heads that a violent perpetrator is inside, as opposed to sending the pizza guy to someone’s house.
I couldn’t stretch that into attempted murder.
Right, I get that they have the capability to kill. But a good swat team should be able to go in there and recognize it's not a threat and not kill.
Then I guess try involuntary manslaughter? But also maybe charge the cops for killing an innocent person.
Perhaps this is true, I just think the act is so vile that maximum penalty needs to be applied from others doing the same thing.
We will have to agree to disagree on the penalty severance. I don't think it should be a life sentence, but it also should be strict enough to deter anyone else from doing the same. 5 to 10 years wouldn't be unfair imo
I would say all reckless endangerment should be punished more. I wouldn't leave it to just swatting.
Non violent criminals should be picking up litter during the day. Doesn’t take a job from anybody and improves the area.
