I'm not disagreeing with that, but again, using the phrase "actions have consequences" in this context _is_ victim blaming.

Do you think they should get away with their behavior and actions? There's a whole lot more you don't know about this person.

I've written a lot today and don't have the time to reply to this comment properly.

I'm not familiar enough with the situation to really know. I was just commenting on the use of the term victim blaming.

I don't think I necessarily disagree with you that some people bring consequences upon themselves, even if those things are themselves illegal. Ultimately I would say that SWATing is clearly not a trivial thing to do: people die, money is wasted.

In general: nobody deserves to be SWATed; go through legal channels to seek justice. If that person is untouchable, maybe some sort of "vigilante" action is warranted; I don't know.

For the record I don't think they deserved to be swatted in the first place either. And I hope this doesn't start happening to random people who didn't do anything questionable either.

I was more or less just likening the whole situation to a "win stupid prizes" trope, didn't mean to start a fight.
