Well think of it this way

It takes some effort to do and a level of intelligence to do it

If you are intelligent enough to swat someone, you are intelligent enough to know how bad it makes your own side look bad

it sounds like you have someone saying they are involved but what actual evidence is there to what you were given being actually tied to the case? this is only a bad thing if it doesent infact end up being related to it

Now we're meta analyzing these people

the evidence is a recording of them talking to 911

oh

giving hoggs address

Of which it cant be verified unless the cops confirm it

and that could take forever or never

hmm well this is beyond me then

You think never though? There is alot of political stock behind this

I don't have the capacity to believe that they didn't know who they were swatting

i do

There's also the possibility of a false flag

they kept messing his name up

At least checking to see if the voices in the recording and in the interview are the same is pretty easy.

said they like to see their stuff on tv

They could've been doing that on purpose

Ill defer to your judgement then.

of course its the same voice

you know when someone is messing up a name on purpose

Too bad you probably cant share the actual call with the hackers. Probably breaking some privacy laws there.

one guy had to keep correcting the other guy

no they want the interview published with the recording

Right so it’s just a matter of figuring out if the recording is legit or adding a disclaimer to the video.

Tim, it really just comes to my zero trust in others. Especially when it comes to assholes

Damn, this is an actual ethics case in the making

i might have to just contact a bigger outlet to help with legal and fact checking

What will you do

Oh

I think phil makes a good point

Thing is, its an exclusive scoop

These people swatted to get famous

Is it a good idea to give the hackers publicity or validation?

I imagine if someone was actually trying to harm Hogg they would have checked to make sure they were home before the swatting. If these people didn’t know who he was they also wouldn’t have known he was away.

I'm of the opinion that it's not

if it proves its not politically motivated it doesnt matter

^^

But the final say goes down to Tim

Break the story.
