If History is anything to go by, poor people threatening the rich.

Oh there's several ways, especially if you have poor opsec. People used to raid people's twitch accounts and bring down their internet connections by looking for their username on Skype which had a vulnerability which they could use to find a person's IP.

For swatters on the otherhand, they tend to either know the streamer themselves or they tend to be groups like KiwiFarms who are a lot more organised and do a lot of research and detective work, like looking at the video, looking for usernames elsewhere, looking for emails, and looking for location clues. It's really fucked up. They found Keffels's Motel by the sheets in her room. It's bad enough if you do not think about these things and just have sloppy OpSec, but even if you do, they can still find you.

A lot more regularly that they do in the rest of the UK.

So (not so) fun fact: Keffals, who was targeted by KiwiFarms for being trans (yes that's all) and got Swatted. She then went to stay with another streamer (EllenFromNowOn) in Northern Ireland. Just for information sake, Northern Ireland is still a bit rocky security wise, Police there still carry guns on the regular. So when she went there, Ellen called up the police and explained the situation to them (they had never heard of Swatting weirdly enough).

Sure enough, someone found her flat, posted her address (with a message referencing a Unionist Slogan, Ellen was from the Catholic Community), and sure enough, the police came. Instead of raiding her all guns blasing (which they normally would) they saw the warning, knocked on the door, saw nothing was wrong, called off the squaddies, and came in to basically make sure everything was okay.

Bare in mind, this was in Northern Ireland, a place where the Police still drive Armored cars and have regular riots, and they handled this better than the Police in London, Ontario.

Let's be very Frank with you, republicans want that. Not the rank and file, but the politicians that want control over the United States.

What they want from Trump is a rubber stamp to do whatever they want.

American Evangelicals: THE RAPTURE IS COMING AND THE TRIBULATION IS NIGH!

Jehovah's witnesses: THEY ARE COMING FOR US, THEY'RE COMING FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE WITNESSES!

Mormons: WE'RE GONNA NEED THE FOOD STORES WE WERE TOLD TO MAKE, JUST YOU WAIT!

Scientists: Climate Change will lead to everything going to shit if we don't do shit now.

All of them together: BULLSHIT!

I mean basically this: They expect something like a Movie but when something happens in reality they turn around and are like "nope".

How people who say we need to ban cycling because "I can't take a sofa on a bike" think they and everyone else drives on a daily basis.
