Guy looks like he’s 15.
Yeah, I get that, and I for sure am. On the other hand, I have college interns and new grads every spring, and this guy looks younger than any of them.
If you call yourself a cyber-terrorist you should be ransomwaring banks, not swatting normal people
“The caller laughed and taunted officers, stating that he was hiding under multiple VPNs (virtual private networks),”
The article states the cop who heard the taunt traveled a long distance to be there at sentencing.
“Remember me?”
As long as it wasn’t on tax paper dime for travel expenses I’m ok with that level of petty.
Ashton Connor Garcia, 21, of Bremerton, pleaded guilty to federal charges of extortion and threats for which he will spend three years in federal custody, followed by a term of three years of federal supervision.

Way too short of jail time for this behavior:
““Garcia often made several hoax calls per week and sometimes multiple calls in a single day. He treated swatting like a form of entertainment in which he was the star performer. He set up internet chatrooms devoted to swatting, and he invited people to come watch his swatting calls as if it were a premier sporting event,” Manca wrote.”
It’s bizarre to me, he called himself a terrorist like 3 times in that article, why wasn’t he charged for that?
That headline, though. He made fake 911 calls. Or he made false reports in 911 calls.
If you report fake 911 calls, you’re helping police to catch the swatter.
