it happens to a different streamer like once a week, not including the millions of ordinary people better than 11 year old guy fawkes mask wearing "anurchests" on CoD, and pretty much the rest of the internet

so this is a thing? calling the swat team in on someone streaming a game....seriously?
oh swatting is old, but yes it's a thing, and it's a ****ing disgusting thing to do
