I think people who are raised on website created in the very end of 90's and early 2000 would not have kids by now old enough to have been raised by websites created in the mid 2000's. Due to the aggressive nature of the picture it seems like a teenager would of created the "rebuttal". Teenagers are often very angsty and aggressive.

Back in the day ebaumsworld stole a bunch of front page stuff and removed the watermarks so goons (and some other sites) lead a DDoS attack on ebaum's world.

To expand on what BJPaskoff said, a handful (I think) of people have been successfully prosecuted. Here's an article you might find interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/29/magazine/the-serial-swatter.html?_r=0

quote:

What a lot of the victims remember is a sense of unreality, a feeling like they were watching a movie. K. says she opened the door of her Florida apartment one evening to find a dozen SWAT officers lined up on the stairs with riot shields and black guns pointed at her. She froze and thought of the metal belt buckle she happened to be clutching in her left hand. They’re going to think I have a weapon in my hand. They’re going to shoot me.

quote:

By August 2014, Finley had reached out to the F.B.I.’s Atlanta field office, asking if the bureau could help with a swatting case in which the suspect was a minor. He was told the swatter would have to be ‘‘prolific.’’ Finley asked what that meant. He knew the swatter had made hoax calls to 11 police departments in that one January alone. How many swattings is prolific? No one Finley spoke to at the bureau could say. But Finley kept tracking Obnoxious, kept calling the F.B.I. with updates — he could connect the guy to 20 swatting calls, then 30 calls. When he got past 40 about a month later, he finally found a special agent named Andrew Young. Forty was definitely prolific.

quote:

The Canadian police arrested the suspect on Dec. 5, four days after he tried to swat Hayli. Much of the case against him had been shipped up from Georgia. Prosecutors eventually charged him with 46 counts, including criminal harassment, public mischief and extortion; he pleaded guilty to 23 counts. (His Vancouver lawyer didn’t return phone calls.) He was interviewed at length by a social worker, a psychiatrist and a psychologist, who confirmed that the swatter’s childhood had been tragic, marred by an abusive father and a mentally ill mother. The psychiatric report noted that he had essentially no remorse: ‘‘His description of the pleasure he gets from causing humiliation and harm ... is suggestive of quite significant emerging psychopathic traits.’’ At a court appearance in May, he wore a sweatsuit, ankles shackled together; a local reporter observed him smiling occasionally and flicking his brown hair. In July, a judge sentenced him to 16 months in youth jail, with credit for time served while awaiting trial. He is scheduled to be released in March, at age 18.

So someone posts this unpleasant situation yesterday, you'd think the comments would say he should talk to her and communicate like an adult, right? Nah, they're varying degrees of "She's gonna cheat on you and divorce you and take all your money, bro!" with a few heaping helpings of misogyny and plenty of calls for smacking her.

But the saga doesn't end there, oh no. Today, someone posts a screenshot of a comment chain he found particularly amusing.



Over 6000 people agreed, this is the course of action that should be taken. Jesus Christ, these people despise women females.

Normally it's Kanye they point fingers at. And hilariously who the gently caress cares about Kendrick Lamar anymore? He might as well pulled out Mack Miller or Tyler the Creator.

It's because he is the only rapper they know, and as we know all rappers speak directly for 'black' culture. It's like they way that people ITYOOL 2015 are complaining about young 'urban' types with their saggy oversized jeans, when that was a fashion from at least 20 years ago.

I see it on hipsters a lot. It may be a local thing but wearing your pants so your rear end its hanging out, even with skinny jeans, is just how a large segment of the male population wears their pants. The thing is, it looks like you poo poo your pants and a recent poll by a paper asked women what are the biggest fashion turn offs for them from men had it at #3 after fedoras and those Kevin Smith shorts. I don't even see rappers wearing pants that style anymore either. They hang low and loose, but they're certainly not belted on the bottom of the cheeks.

I bet they went with Kendrick Lamar because he's not quite Drake or Kanye, but he's still well known enough that it makes them look like they know something.

Fair enough. I know nothing about fashion, so I assumed it had gone out of style.

My SJW landlord scolded me for 20 minutes about holding the door open for a female tenant, and also being really fit. She raised my rent by 200%, but then she had a stroke because she's fat, and the new land lord was super nice and gave me free rent for two years to apologize.

It does seem like a weird thing for a landlord to do unless they've been there for forever or are close to the guy but it doesn't really seem to cast the OP in any sort of overly positive light. Out of all the SJW shaming brags and similar that's probably the most believable out of any claim I've seen posted on imgur
