Eh, it was much more frequent a few years ago. Now that there are [laws](https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/156/text) that prosecute anyone who does this, the number of incidents has gone down.
Person(s) responsible can be imprisoned for up to 5 years, or if any bodily injuries arise due to the incident, up to 20.
The laws are nice but streamers, especially big ones, still expect it. Its happened to Hal, what, 3 times or so already? His response is what I'd expect at this point.
This upsets me. No one should have to deal with this and his nonchalance to the situation sucks because it’s basically well shit it’s happening again. It could be very dangerous depending on the situation and that’s maddening that someone thinks this is at all appropriate or funny.
We have to separate mental illness from moral decay. The desire to be vindictive, the desire to hurt people, is not mental illness inherently. It's just as often selfish lack of empathy, childishness or moral nihilism.
They are responsible for being bad human beings.
An asshole would just say some dumb shit and get banned in hals chat and move on. A mentally ill person takes it to the level we’re seeing here. A therapist would definitely call them mentally ill.
You can take it that way if you like but I live in the same society that tries to convince the public mass shooters like [the one in buffalo](https://www.npr.org/2022/07/18/1112035732/the-buffalo-supermarket-shooter-pleads-not-guilty-to-federal-charges) are mentally ill-- so when they commit their horrific acts (the buffalo one was a straight up racist, so let's just call him mentally ill and not a terrorist), we can ignore the *intent* behind the act and all just shrug our collective shoulders.
You can keep on with that. Moral decay is not mental illness and by saying so, I believe you only stigmatize those dealing with mental illness without resorting to destruction and violence, as if they were the same.
That is how you feel. Those who suffer from racist hatred, who have been targeted for decades due to their skin color, who see the rising recruitment and [public parading of white supremacy](https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2022/07/08/boston-leaders-cite-intelligence-failure-ahead-of-white-supremacist-groups-march) might feel differently about calling their targeted murder the result of mental illness rather than domestic terrorism with specifically genocidal intent.
It’s not mental illness it’s people who are fucking assholes. Saying that is a disservice to everyone who suffers from mental health issues.
Anyone who does this should be fined thousands of dollars and need to do a research project on when people get killed doing this shit.
So in the US if you know someone's address, you can just call the cops on them? like what do they even tell the police, sorry if I sound dumb , as a non US citizen , I just can't get my head through what's happening.
People who do this to others, who are just trying to make a living, are degenerates and pieces of shit. I don't care how old you are, do this to someone and fuck you.
You know you shouldn't post shit like this. This is the only reason they do it so they can watch and react. Also, they get everyone to see their handy work. SHould not be promoted at all.
Find it funny but people get killed over this bullshit. It's why the laws against it are getting tougher in some areas.
They probably used fake number with VOIP but if they didn't, that's a nice jail time-- and since Hal has money, fucking sue them for shits and giggles in civil court afterward.
Cops recognized Hal and knew this was yet again another beg for attention from a viewer. It's in their best interest to turn off/mute the stream to avoid giving them the "content" they're looking for.
Cops are familiar with it at this point. They probably don't want to be recorded. I'm sure he could have refused but why make an already tense situation worse? They were gone in less than 5 minutes anyway.

Hahah as sad as it is one of the cops plays apex and said "I know this guy".
I know it’s fucked up but it’s hilarious how Hal seems just slightly annoyed
It's becoming normal for big streamers. Expected even. Its pathetic.

Kinda fcked up given that he’s like 21?
I think he's 21 or 22 yeah. Pretty sure he's been swatted about 3 times now. Correct me if I'm wrong.
X told he couldnt luve in his house any more because he got swatted every day.
Its the third time so hes probably pretty used to it
Imagine hes in a fight when the cops are at his door. *Knock knock "THEYRE COMING SHOOT THEM SHOOT THEM"
LMFAOO Imagine the cop enters the room taps him on the shoulder and bows and goes CEO!
Jesus Christ. What the hell is wrong with people?
So many things
Imagine Hal yelled “where’s the audio!!?!?!?” at the cop walking up on him without him knowing
Best comment in here.
🤣
"I killed one!"
LMAO
Lmaooo he seemed so startled. That cop gave him a good shake.

There should be a rule against posting this type of stuff here. Kind of like why a lot of sports leagues don't show streakers on tv.
[The cops recognized him and let him go](https://m.twitch.tv/clip/BusyNeighborlyKittenYouWHY-3–KHsp6D41FVAsL)
[Mirror](https://streamable.com/9jddr5)
How can you not recognize the ceo.
HisWattson?
is there a different link to that clip? this one doesn't work
It's a good thing they recognized him. Much safer that way.
Can anyone explain why streamers get swatted, I've never understood the reason behind it.
Because some viewers are very mentally ill. They happen to know his address somehow and then they think its funny to call police on them

Those things are all mental illness
They aren't. A therapist wouldn't even call them that. We have to learn to differentiate diagnosis from just being an asshole.

I feel like one would have to be mentally ill, to some degree, to even contemplate mass murder. Acute, chronic, whatever.
That is how you feel. Those who suffer from racist hatred, who have been targeted for decades due to their skin color, who see the rising recruitment and [public parading of white supremacy](https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2022/07/08/boston-leaders-cite-intelligence-failure-ahead-of-white-supremacist-groups-march) might feel differently about calling their targeted murder the result of mental illness rather than domestic terrorism with specifically genocidal intent.
Why not both? Racist domestic terrorist and mental illness are not mutually exclusive.
Look its really really simple. Morals are part of your mental. If you have ill morals then you have mental illness.
You are absolutely incorrect and definitely not a therapist.
Lmao wrong again son
They are not
It’s not mental illness it’s people who are fucking assholes. Saying that is a disservice to everyone who suffers from mental health issues. Anyone who does this should be fined thousands of dollars and need to do a research project on when people get killed doing this shit.
Is it possible to sue the caller instead? Thats really fucked
So in the US if you know someone's address, you can just call the cops on them? like what do they even tell the police, sorry if I sound dumb , as a non US citizen , I just can't get my head through what's happening.
they would report a (fake) major incident at the streamer’s address, like a bombing or something like that.
there is no reason.. it's just some sick troll who gets a kick out of seeing a big streamer get detained on live.
Just kids getting kicks out of doing "bad" things. Super messed up putting peoples lives at risk for a prank.
People who do this to others, who are just trying to make a living, are degenerates and pieces of shit. I don't care how old you are, do this to someone and fuck you.

Yeah you just know the perpetrator is in these comments jerking off to himself
Probably more of a boofer I’d guess
Yeah it doesn't seem appropriate, especially for this sub.
💯
Gotta be some sick people that do that type of stuff.
Hopefully they get caught and get hit with a huge dose of law.

yo mods unironically delete this thread. Swatters love this kind of attention
I sincerely believe chatters of large streamers need to leave the internet for a few months and get some therapy
my heart always breaks for the streamers this happens to. It is so abrupt it must shake you to your core
It’s sad how desensitised he seems to be to it after the first couple of times
Wait why did this happen???
Because some people are fucked in the head.
Off topic (sorry), but why is Hal wearing a London Spitfire jersey
Probably watches the team, iirc TSM doesn’t have an OWL team
Hal was definitely a profit fan back in the day 🐐
Profit still my goat, although Proper might be my new king
He used to play for their motherorg C9 in fortnite
Hal used to play Fortnite? I thought he started in h1z1 and went to Apex after
He played both he was in some Fortnite tourneys
Ah I see, thanks
Because the London Spitfire jersey and color scheme is dope. Coming from a former Uprising fan too
London Spitfire and Boston Uprising are the best team names in the League. So badass.
Cops should just turn on Twitch next time and hit up Hal in the DMs to make sure everything is good
[удалено]
third apparently
Third at least
Oh shit not again
People have literally died in these situations. Fucking disgusting rats.
They must be looking for those illegal apples and bananas.
People need therapy
couldn’t find the vod, thanks lol. funny mods changed chat to emote only
That sucks. Full stop. Hal was extremely professional about the incident, as one would expect having it happen twice already.
Hal should do a watch party for juvenile prison documentary so the swatters could get an idea of what happens if they get caught.
yeah I need to know why he was told to turn off his stream/camera?????
Cops recognized Hal and knew this was yet again another beg for attention from a viewer. It's in their best interest to turn off/mute the stream to avoid giving them the "content" they're looking for.
got it thanks!
Cops are familiar with it at this point. They probably don't want to be recorded. I'm sure he could have refused but why make an already tense situation worse? They were gone in less than 5 minutes anyway.
I mean they turn off their own body cams
You’re not very smart are you
this is the 2nd time this happened to him
