NYP:

A Romanian national pleaded guilty on Monday to charges related to his role in a “swatting” ring that targeted dozens of public officials, including a former US president. 

Going by the aliases “Plank,” “Jonah” and “Cypher,” 26-year-old Thomasz Szabo took part in a years-long conspiracy to place bogus 911 calls, claiming emergencies were taking place at the homes of top government officials, and make bomb threats against government buildings and houses of worship, according to Justice Department. 

Szabo and a co-conspirator, 21-year-old Serbian national Nemanja Radovanovic, allegedly targeted about 100 people, including members of Congress, governors, cabinet-level executive branch officials and state officials.  more

  2. Given the murderous nature of the police in the US, the penalty for his crime should be death. Clearly that is what he was shooting for with the swatting.

  4. Agree Mr Liberty, but I would add ‘an excruciating’ death.

    Swatters put not only their victims at risk of death, but the police officers as well, who exist to protect us.

    Draw and quarter on pay-per-view, proceeds going to those that were put at risk.

  6. I like the above suggestions, but I think it would be most fun for him to be declared OUTLAW, meaning without legal protection of any kind. Anything anybody wanted to do to him, any place, any time, would be perfectly legal. Do whatever you want to him, no repercussions to you.

  8. Well I think we need to give Pam Blondi, the DOJ, and the FBI props for actually doing their jobs. This piece of shit needs to be made an example of. I’m voting for televised execution by leaches. It will be an all day event.

    Oh come on. I kinda of have the hots for her. I think I could turn her into a conservative in one night. I know what she’s craving and yes some of it might be a bit painful. But afterwords she be a full blown conservative. You can thank me later.

  19. The story doesn’t make it clear what country these assholes were in when they did this. We’re these guys in the US AND SWATing people at the same time? JFC if so, especially if here illegally or under student or work visas.

  21. These two miscreants need to be SWATted in return, and deported at the same time.
    BRING UP THE TREBUCHET!!
