So the swatting thing

Got to kinda talk about this. It merits discussion.

It's been an unproductive day. Not that I can't and haven't gotten pretty far with the project, but breaking my tooth depressed and bummed me out more than I thought it would and I just barely have much motivation to plug in more footage and cut it much. And I just think I'm stressed a lot.

But yeah once this bullshit is done, I can concentrate on potentially getting a job at access a ride. or wherever, I'll be doing more serious job hunting as time permits and I have my car insurance money ready to go, that will open the door to having a good chunk of a month to go job hunting. I mean, I'd rather get up go to work, come back here after a long day and work on the film, just have something to freakin do all day rather than hang out here watching movies and youtube.

But that brings me to my point of this post.

Amazing. Never have we had a case like this, ever. Someone through online craziness commits a serious crime then some youtuber dude gets to interview him after he damn did it. Wow.

The whole idea of getting personal online, revealing your address, letting random nobodies on the internet know who you are where you live what you're all about. It's always been something I thought would lead to this.

When I browsed forums and some shit stain of a person was like trying to start fights with people and putting his address on line. I always thought, ok, you really want random psycho on the net to show up at your door? Good for you, have fun with that.

And here we have the result. It will lead to these things. I mean the net has proven to me to be a sad place to hope will remain civil and cool. Always one psycho running around online, or whatever.

What gets me as a net vet who's been using the web for a decade and change, It's never been a place where you got personal. I posted at star wars forums with my little avatar, my little posts, whatever. The mods ganged up on me and kicked me around at times, I got the message pretty quick that it was a lawless uncompromising free for all online. Things like that.... I learned not to take the net seriously is what I'm saying. Some random jackass will try to stick it to you or worse what happened here, swat you then go back to his pop tarts and porn.

So all these guys making the internet their home I can't understand. It'll lead to this shit if you draw that much attention to yourself and try to be some internet badass.

What could compel someone to do this kind of thing, what compelled the vegas shooter, the ariana grande concert bomber, just stir shit up...

I listen to the keemstar interview with the guy who got the innocent man killed and it's fascinating, he's not an unreasonable person, not a psycho as the net will soon paint him as, he's just a dumb punk who thought it wouldn't blow up and come back to bite him. He's like, yunno, standard issue internet jerk you get all the time, some nerdy little ass wipe who's hiding behind the shield the internet provides to stir up crap any chance he can get. He would have never been found and this has happened in the past, I mean people do swats all the time and will continue to do them, but they don't f'n do an interview afterwards and put their goddamn REAL picture on twitter. If he wasn't dumb, they'd have never found him, never caught him. And I'm guessing the people who gave him the address to swat are trying to erase every track to them as humanly possible. This was all a sad dominoe effect of internet bravado collapsing in on itself. One jackass called another jackass, who tried to anonymously swat a fake address because who knows if you get real information online, who the f knows, and then the last jackass is the cop who pulled the trigger without thinking.

Last person responsible for all this is the swat guy himself. No doubt a trigger happy power tripping coward with a badge.

If you've ever been bullied by a little pansy cop with a power macho man attitude, you know what I'm talking about. I don't get that shit. What compels some cops to act like assholes to regular every day people. What? You're supposed to deter and go after criminals, not harass and intimidate the average person, but no, they dick around with everybody no matter what, and in this case, we have a clear example of excessive force that a lot of these jackasses enjoy.

I mean I don't want to color all cops this way and I've met as I previously wrote about good decent detectives trying to save a life. But I still get defensive when I have to deal with a cop because they've mostly treated me horribly without reason. So, sorry, not going to feel like the police force is what it should be.

Simply in the end, don't make the net your home. Get out the f'n house. Live. Don't get deep with it. I try not to. Some times yeah, when I get baited by some super nerdy douche bag online trying to stir up crap, it gets to me. I have to learn to not give a giant shit. I really do.

It's precisely because the net has become so personal that we have people goddamn going to this level and calling cops on people online.

Oh my god. I mean, when I was back in the day and some guy straight up flamed me with everything he had, what I wouldn't have given to have been able to retaliate against that. I mean, that's what's going on. Some ass wipe stirs these things up, nobody's able to let it go and we get these things happening.

DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

Stop. Just don't give a fuck when you get cyber bullied. Why is everyone taking the net serious now. Shit wasn't even that big a thing back in my day...

All I can say...
