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.

2018-06-07 14:56:18 UTC  

I'm of the opinion that it's not

2018-06-07 14:56:18 UTC  

if it proves its not politically motivated it doesnt matter

2018-06-07 14:56:24 UTC  

^^

2018-06-07 14:56:32 UTC  

But the final say goes down to Tim

2018-06-07 14:57:20 UTC  

Break the story.

2018-06-07 14:57:22 UTC  

Ethically speaking, I don't think these people should be given any sort of publicity

2018-06-07 14:57:31 UTC  

Maybe do it in a round about way?

2018-06-07 14:57:47 UTC  

Well it does help if it comes out that its not politically motivated like what Tim is saying

2018-06-07 14:57:47 UTC  

Don't even give their twitter handles

2018-06-07 14:57:52 UTC  

True

2018-06-07 14:58:04 UTC  

this is an ethics conundrum

2018-06-07 14:58:08 UTC  

why should people know who did it?

2018-06-07 14:58:12 UTC  

shouldnt*

2018-06-07 14:58:17 UTC  

I just hate the idea of them getting what they wanted

2018-06-07 14:58:19 UTC  

should the public be allowed to see the other things these people claim?

2018-06-07 14:58:22 UTC  

Not when you are correcting ppl.

2018-06-07 14:58:22 UTC  

Well its like school shooters in a way?

2018-06-07 14:58:32 UTC  

^

2018-06-07 14:58:36 UTC  

Well, minus the dead kids.

2018-06-07 14:58:43 UTC  

do you think you have a right to know who did the swatting?

2018-06-07 14:58:52 UTC  

and why

2018-06-07 14:59:01 UTC  

Like there is a right there. Its just peoples reaction to it

2018-06-07 14:59:19 UTC  

Tim, if there's a way for you to air the information required to correct it, you should. But you should also try your best to give the individuals as little publicity as possible

2018-06-07 14:59:20 UTC  

Like how people reacted to the unabomber, the boston marathon bombers, or columbine

2018-06-07 14:59:23 UTC  

dooI have the right to trickle out tidbits of info and with hold some from the public?

2018-06-07 14:59:37 UTC  

It's not about rights really imo

2018-06-07 14:59:38 UTC  

should prolly have the right to know,
But i'm not sure if you HAVE to know more like, can be requested

2018-06-07 14:59:39 UTC  

Yes but at the same time they do it for publicity. If people didn’t get recognition for it they might stop trying.

2018-06-07 14:59:56 UTC  

It’s tricky.

2018-06-07 15:00:00 UTC  

Yeah

2018-06-07 15:00:01 UTC  

thats activism imo

2018-06-07 15:00:13 UTC  

deciding what people should or shouldnt know

2018-06-07 15:00:13 UTC  

Hmm ,if you dont, someone else will

2018-06-07 15:00:23 UTC  

And who knows what spin the other will put on it

2018-06-07 15:00:31 UTC  

I think people should know eveyrthing I know about it

2018-06-07 15:00:33 UTC  

including who did it

2018-06-07 15:00:39 UTC  

Tim, deciding what people should or shouldn't know is your job description.

2018-06-07 15:00:39 UTC  

Your call.

2018-06-07 15:00:40 UTC  

Just facts

2018-06-07 15:00:52 UTC  

Hes kinda in that buisness actually
