This makes me sick. Some people are truly fucked up.
Completely agree
I will third this
I hear ya man
I 100% agree
that they are. its just getting worse by the day. this is why i don't play these games. and if i play online games and people get mad i don't even speak and just leave the raid if they happen to be same server i just block em and report if i have to. more safer then going to this amount of extreme over a game
Hopefully the media doesn’t turn this event into propaganda about video game violence
The World Health Organization already classified Gaming Addiction as a disorder. This might only fuel the fire even further.
No duh. This is where it backfires. Then again, needs to be talked about.
Turbo Wheeler/ターボウィーラー Gaming Addiction is real tho, just like you can get addicted to anything. This however, is beyond the game, and this guy killed a man.
You already know they will. Havent you heard, gaming is now classified as an addiction.
Or anti cop bs
This happened because of $1.50 just let that one sink in...
rickyay26 For swatting to stop, people that do it should get life in prison
People get killed over nothing.
rickyay26 i know man, that so sad...
It sad how people will do anything for money.
@@JGaute or executed in public ww2 style
"I didn't kill him; the SWAT team I called did."
"I didn't kill him; the poison I put in his drink did."
"I didn't kill him; the knife I stabbed him with did."
I love you
Brandon Moore you gay
@@oupoooooyoyo, wow lol.
No, no, no it wasn't the knife, I was just sitting around peeling a apple and he ran in to my knife 27 times, but yeah was cuck excuse to use
I didn't kill him gravity did
attempted murder?
no, it's domestic terrorism! This has a much harcher punishment
"Keemstar did an amazing job with this interview." Now that's something I never thought I'd hear Rich say.
Me too xD
Yeah Keem had heat on him back in '16, not now it seems
This phone call is sickening.
Gaming With Gleez where did the dislikes come from? Hmmm i wonder?
Almost as sick as that midroll xd
Gaming With Gleez be careful of the injustice community man.
lol why is that?
Gaming With Gleez toxic community✌
It was bound to eventually happen especially since when the swat team is involved they are on edge since they are dealing with so many variables.
Jeff Solis I remember the countless times Rich said this would happen, and I always thought “That won’t happen, it won’t ever get that serious”. It happened, but i’m not surprised at this point
this is still a perfect fucking example of shoot first ask questions later, and if the SWAT team have high emotional attachment to it they NEED to be disbanded, this is fucking sick, both are as bad as each other and BOTH need to be held accountable.
Justin Dheel, Muslim is religion, not race.
"They deal with muslims" . Dude wtf?
islam is not a race
I remember watching the old video of you predicting this god it’s sad this day came 😢
I remember it, too. What a shame this happened.
I know, same here. I couldn't believe people didn't agree with him then and if they don't now... well then they are messed up too
Rich was a Nostradamus to predict this would happen he was right
I even remember the dying light gameplay he talked about it over...😧
I don’t see this any different from hiring a hitman. He set someone up to kill another human. Law Enforcement wouldn’t even be there if he didn’t make that call. Some people are just sick.
Who payed the SWAT?
Ghola Tleilaxu the American people with their taxes, it's the perfect the setup.
My mom told me about this unfortunate event the other day. It's fucked up that this happened to this man. I hope his family is ok
P-BOT H20 honestly they arent and wont be better mentally.
There is no way that family could be ok after that and there is nothing anyone can do to bring back the dead. This situation is so fucked up.
Doubt it to be honest.
It must be so terrible knowing a family member died over a $1.50 COD match
Ofc they not ok...
a 1.50. someone just died over a 1.50 over a call of duty match. One dollar and fifty cents = someones life??
LowestFiber it should at least be 1.75
LowestFiber in other places it’s less
LowestFiber that doesn't factor in the cost of the game and the season pass and the Xbox Live or whatever
According to most Corporations you are hardly worth that much. This is a step up in value for someone's life.
Actually, both governments and companies benefit from the death of a human. Not too much death but just enough to profit from it. In essence, a human's existence is worth nothing when money is involved, and as a whole, they are worthless in comparison to the End. In the grand scheme of things, it was unfortunate fate to take amusement in. Well, for me that is. Then again, I don't care for humanity, but I am amused by them.
Man, this sucks. I've been watching your channel for a few years, and you've covered this topic a lot for a looooong time. The first thing I thought when I saw this on my news channel were the predictions you made whenever you talked about swatting. This whole situation fucking sucks, and hopefully legislation starts taking these fucking morons seriously.
Z M
Yea man I agree I also thought about all Rich's other videos on this topic. As a matter of fact as soon as I heard about this story I immediately thought of Rich and wondered if he would talk about this story.
Knowing the way our politicians are they would use this as an example of how video games and guns are bad and not look at the problem which is sociopaths doing these things. I really hope they do but I've stopped believing our current politicians will ever do anything that helps society and not just rich people.
Same. When I heard about this, the first thing I thought was when will RTUSA say something about it.
You know, I agree. That guy has NO heart. I'm literally praying to the heavens that he gets his a$$ in prison. Fup him.
jalemonman No, It's just a bad habit of mine. But does it REALLY matter?
Heck
You also could consider to do some real actions instead of talking to fictional characters. Just saying.
TarmUK frick
gn Fur lets start insulting people for no reason...
Make swatting a felony. Many states have statutes that say that any death that occurs during the commission of a felony is murder. Done: no more swatting, no more stupid deaths.
Filing a false police report is a felony in this situation, so it is felony murder.
Alexander Dellorto Execute the ones that are captured.
I think this dude would have done it anyway. He's a sociopath.
@@0816M3RC pubicly aswell thats the only way these bastards will learn
Why should swat be allowed to do this??? No call to the address? No one interrogating the caller? It would take 5 secs to find out they're calling on bs. No swat should be able to bust into a private home, no warrant. Sounds like a work around of the constitution.
Hope you feel better Rich. I can't even believe SWATing is still a thing.
I guess i'm old and foreign enough when i thought swatting was a new weird dance movement XD.
I didn't even know it was a thing until this past weekend.
ATG3192 its happened to a bunch of popular youtubers and streamers over the years
Until they come down on it with some harsher laws and mandatory sentencing not much will change. Mandatory sentencing doesn't help much in a variety of different crimes, but I think it could help some here. At the very least, it would get these assholes behind bars.
RobaFett it is and forever will be because just like ddosing there are little to no consequences when you mask your ip or don't really. Oh and technically doxing(idk how to spell it tbh lol) is completely legal as long as it's not blasted on a public setting even though that really won't get you in trouble either.
Rich, SWAT isn't like regular police. If they aren't on edge constently, dozens end up dead. SWAT have to deal with essentially domestic terrorist acts. That's also why swatting needs to be taken more seriously.
That is why swat shouldn't be sent out on those investigatory calls.
The media calls this a "prank" that's why its not taken seriously
AnIrishComposer Yet as we see because they are on edge and refused to do some basic recon and come into the situation with cool and logical heads an innocent man was killed. I will admit at times you don't have the opportunity to do these things like bomb threat but here there was no excuse they could have at least come did some fact checking before going in guns blazing.
The criminals that do this need decades in prison.
antman1001000 Guns blazing? They told him to put his hands up and he reach for something on his side.
Sorry but they did what they thought was right, plus this happen at night.
This man is a psychopath he needs mental help and needs to be locked up for a very long time. He murdered Someone period, he may not have pulled the trigger but he murdered that person. SWAT are trained to shoot if they feel threatened sometimes sadly that fuse isn’t as long as it should be but that’s just how it is sometimes. Sending swat to someone’s house is putting people’s lives at risk and should be considered attempted murder
Excuction
If this comment doesn't have 500 likes, I don't know what's wrong with people.
@@xthomasbhx fingers crossed, added one
How can the richest nation still use such an outdated way to call for an emergency? We can have a bullet prove drones that respond with a press of a button or smartphone's app.
He pulled the Trigger by calling 911
The guy that called should be charged and convicted of manslaughter, and the guy that asked him to do it should be charged and convicted as an accomplice. Period
The guy that swatted is a sociopath, he sounded like he didn't feel a thing even after the incident took place.
Generations1st he's a psychopath not a sociopath. Sociopathy is a result of a coping mechanism, and isn't dangerous to anyone. Psychopaths have no concept of right and wrong, and do whatever is self serving. Sociopaths are usually overly empathetic and sensitive, so they dull their emotions to keep themselves under control.
you mean psychopath right ? Cause a sociopath is not the same thing
Oh he does feel, trust me. I can’t believe he has you all fooled. He’s angry at the world and this is his way of taking out his frustrations and getting a kick out of it. He is fully aware of what he is doing and wants to portray this image of someone who doesn’t feel anything, but believe me, he does. I know 100% because I’ve been there myself.
I fast forwarded to after the tape finished the tape
When a person is killed by a police officer, the body cam footage is no where to be found. But when a police officer saves a baby, they make sure to share all the body cam footage with everyone. I am not saying that every police officer is corrupt, but there is definitely a situation where these police officers are protecting each other when they make a deadly mistake going on in America. It is disgusting.
omgbulldozer i believe what you say but this wasnt one of those cases theres body cam footage and its hard to sse. It was during the night afterall
Well damn sorry the guy didn't wait until morning to go to a hostage situation just so you could see better.
Well saving a baby isnt an active investigation. And they dont need riots. I happen to live in wichita and i would rather my pd dont stir a pot
Naturally, we're losing a civil war against these killers. We cannot continue to let them murder citizens without brutal retribution.
This officer should be skinned alive for all his officer friends to see. Maybe they'll think twice before gunning down unarmed people in the future as they see their former force mate disemboweled for the entire planet to see.
Joey Greathouse You're no better than any of those involved in this man's death if you truly believe that.
When I heard about this I instantly thought "rich was right."
Ces.Ex.Machina same
Yeah from what I understand the cops really dropped the ball. First off the guy shot didn't match the description of the caller at all, aka a teenage boy who shot his father. He shouldn't of been a suspect and treated as hostile target. Second from what I heard the 911 call was still on going when the shooting happened. Because the cops couldn't update the Swat team themselves that the suspect was still on the phone they shot a guy who open his front door.
Of course they should be convicted for attempted murder! You're summoning heavily armed, and very alarmed people into someone's house!
Everyone at Christmas gets sick. Including me.
It's totally fine for you to take time off, Rich.
Same here! I wasn't sick this year either.
I haven't been sick in like 2 years
The Holiday Spirit is contagious.
Thankfully, I am immune to such things so I've never felt better.
Vezerlo Productions I got pink eye on Christmas day :/
I FUCKN KNEW YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT, only a matter of when not if. The first thing I thought when I heard the story 3 day ago was "RICH FUCKING CALLED IT. Worst part was the fact this guy wasnt even into gaming. R.I.P.😔
He wasn't even the guy that the Swatter wanted to SWAT. Just a failure on law enforcement and 911 dispatchers.
It’s not exactly a hard prediction to make. It was inevitable.
I hope this is a wakeup to get tougher on swatting.
How will that stop cops from killing innocent unarmed people because they are feeling trigger happy? I don't follow.
Joey Greathouse, it's called giving the person who lied in the phone call a lot higher prison sentence
Hopefully it's also a wakeup call to get tougher on the lunacy of police culture
Great people are now supporting 1984..
The Dude Because the majority of innocent civilians killed by cops are from false 911 calls... Right.
The police released the timeline, and they shot the innocent civilian while they were still on the phone with the alleged, in fact, the phone call lasted 20 MORE MINUTES! The police had to have been updated regularly as they they were still receiving information on the suspect, but they didn't put two and two together- hes not on his phone, hes not the mentally insane person who will kill us. The house doesn't even fit the description, it being a two story opposed to a one story. ABOVE ALL the body cam footage is extremely sketchy, shooting the civilian not more than 5 seconds after he opened the door. The shooter's squad mate (the one with the footage) even mumbles to himself "sh*t", as if shooting him wasn't necessary, a tone similar to that if I were to say "there he goes again".
logodoflogamer if thats the case the officer needs to be punished too. But still, even though they're trained for this, When you know that there is an armed person who shot his dad in the face and is going to burn the rest of his family, And the door just opens when you knock it, You would think that you're gonna get shot in the next 3 seconds too. He probably didn't even had the time to look at Andrews face. And they couldnt really trust the info about the house either they just know the address.
ninja frozr Yeah but they’re supposed to be trained for this. They’re fucking payed for this.
If you cannot handle that kind of pressure you should not be in any form of law enforcement. You know what you sign up for by choosing that career
I like analyzers like you you're good at reading details
@@combustiblelemons9346 If your making a call saying there are hostages and a victim all ready your trying to get someone hurt or killed and on top of that its premeditated. In that line its at least attempted man slaughter. The trigger happy police thing, I will say its really more of a case to case base than people make it seem but yeah in general cops in the US are trigger happy. What I mean is if you open a door and see a black object in someone's hand you have to decide real fast if that thing is a gun or a TV remote. Now you have to remember visual reflex response for most humans is around 0.1-0.3 seconds. in that time if some has a gun in there hand you have 0.3 to recognize that he has a weapon and respond to that threat or recognize its a TV remote and stand down. That's not long enough to think that's only long enough to see: black thing in hand pointed at me. stopping to think, "what is that really?" means it was nothing or you currently have a bullet in your head. Again yes cops in the US are wounded up way to tight and something needs to be done, but I can understand how going in hot can lead to deaths.
It's too bad that "eye for an eye" punishments aren't allowed anymore. People like that have no reason to be on this Earth.
Yep, you were right, SWATTING finally got someone killed, I still remember your warnings about this.
kurt morales we all remember
Those guys can rot in prison till the day they die.
Shadow Kin
Arguably still too humane for them. They should be treated way worse imo. Tortured, tormented, and brutalized. They're worse than scum.
Shadow Kin Fear not... He'll be playing "Dodge the Shank" and "Don't drop the Soap" with his cell mates real soon...
Shadow Kin na
I hope they throw the book at this guy. Maybe that will make these swatters think twice before trying to be internet thugs again.
Eville Caston I hope they throw the switch and give him a couple thousand volts.
The Swat fucked up too
Eville Caston - Indeed, the courts need to make an example of this guy so this doesn’t happen again, it’s just a shame this guy lost his life over a $1.50.
How does an innocent man with no gun get killed by police bullets? I know the sickening phonecall got them there but that doesn't automatically mean someone needs to get killed.
michieltoebes He didn't do anything to warrant being shot either. The cop who shot him needs to be locked up for manslaughter and the swatter for murder.
The fact that these swatting cases are relatively common and this is the first time anyone has ever been killed indicatess they aren't just running around shooting anyone and everyone to be fair
michieltoebes the kid said he was going to shoot the officers if they came in the house. The police had every justification to go in guns blazing
Peter Nygren still the swats fault.
The main thought of any officer in these situations is "I want to go home the same way I came in to work today". It's a really difficult situation to be in where you're life is on the line, and it can change in a moment's notice. Unless you can objectively put yourself in these situations, you can't understand the high tension, stressful situation it is, and how not reacting may cost you or your fellow officer's life.
Rich, he's a psychopath, it's a difference. Both sociopaths and psychopaths lack proper brain connections to the part of the brain who allows us to understand how another person is feeling, and thus aren't able to take pity and empathize, this includes their future self (because our brain somehow thinks our future self is another person) and thus they don't really understand the consequences before it hits them in the face; however, where these connections are entirely disconnected for psychopaths they are only obstructed or limited for sociopaths.
Given proper upbringing they may turn out harmless, as they learn to understand to respect rules and boundaries despite the lack of emphatic processes. But a significant amount of them should be immediately locked up into a mental hospital, quarantined from society, at the slightest sign of deviant behavior. They often cause a significant harm to society and those unfortunate to cross their paths otherwise.
ShadowTani no he is socio cuz psychopaths tend to be more charming and charismatic, where as socio are more off putting creeps.
The exact opposite
"At the slightest sign of deviance"
No.
what
No, they should ALL be locked up or executed.
My verdict would be:
The guy that gave the fake address: 7 weeks
The guy that gave the address to Tyler: 22 years
Tyler: 38 years
SWAT team: All fired and 10 years each for letting him bleed out
Jon Ill only the guy that shot should be fired. And if the guy that gave the info gave the wrong address he's responsible if he knew it belonged to someone.
D. San No they ALL let the guy bleed out infront of him family after wrongfully shooting him which is just wrong and is common for Police to do after shooting someone and the judge should set a example out of them
The guy was able to contact Swautistic pretty easily meaning he probably swatted more people and as a random teammate you would most likely assume he was a hacker and just give him a fake address so he didn't hack yours
Why? The guy ordering Tyler to do this is more guilty than him. Tyler did his job, and sure, he should be sent to prison as well, there there can’t be a gunshot without a gunman, and the gunman (the customerj is always the most guilty one.
Agree
FiresplitterX Tyler kept swatting other places and was known for it plus had no remorse for the guy killed
You sure did Rich. This is so sad.
And this my friends....is y I DON'T play online anymore.... and this is why Nintendo will NEVER have voice chat
Yeah, and people bitched about Resident Evil Outbreak's ad lib system.
Is y? You mean is why?
Dissidia Only play cod for zombies least that's not to bad
Just because this happened doesn't mean 90% of people online are crazy enough to swat you for something.
Nintendo does have voice chat
The police should know about swatting by now and shooting a person the second he steps out side the door isn't a good idea, the police should be held more responsible instead of shrugging their shoulders and going on with the rest of their day.
I agree, sort of, but the swatter did a "fine" job of creating a high level of urgency.
Then there’s the other side of the coin where they don’t take it seriously and innocent people die.
Oh, I agree, to some extent. Let's note that only one officer out of the whole intervention team shot. Every other officer thought the situation was under control. The shooter ought to be held accountable, not the whole team.
most other countries can't fire their weapons until fired upon
SWAT are trained to respond to situations where every second could cause a person's life. When their dispatched to high-level dangerous situations that only must have tried to protect the person's life but their own as well.
It’s honestly so so sad
Man, 2018 is going great so far.
You Reposted in the Wrong Neighbourhood this was reported in 2017...
HOPELESS ENTERTAINMENT It's still a recent topic I guess
You Reposted in the Wrong Neighbourhood You can't really expect stuff like this not to happen. I hate the negativity that so many people have like "oh 2017 was such a fucked up year" and also your comment in particular.
Be positive, we are living in the best, most peaceful era in human history. Just look at the mainstream issues in US like gender and transphobia and political correctness. There's such a relative lack of issues in first world society that people are *looking* for things to be angry about
Come on. Everyone knows news gets more views when you cover bad things. If news covered good things, you might have faith in humanity.
HOPELESS ENTERTAINMENT You people are fucking lost it. It's not about being _relevant_ or somehow a _"repost"_ because this is real stuff that's really happening. No one is going to manipulate the news so you can give out imaginary Reddit points or say it's _'an irrelevant meme'
The new year isn't starting off very smooth, is it?
This happened December 29th.
+Joey Greathouse Damn.. Savage
I had a feeling that this is what the video would be about. R.I.P Andrew Finch. No one deserves to die for that ridiculous of a reason.
If suicide by cop is a thing then why isn't murder by cop. It may be the cops that pulled the trigger but it is the swatter that orderd the murder.
urbanshadow777 the cops are way too trigger happy. The guy wasn't even armed
The Police was his gun and the phone call was the pulling of the trigger.
Nice analogy
Nope, the police officer pulled the trigger. The phone call was a crime but was not murder.
The officer is the killer here, and should be brutally punished.
Joey Greathouse do you not understand that they entered this situation thinking that a kid shot his dad dad and were holding people hostage also saying he was going to burn the house down. The swat team is on high alert and can't make a mistake or it can cost the lives of many.
Rick Harris sure let's say that a person comes out of a door from a dangerous situation that has a death in it, you're saying that the swat member should wait till he shoots first? You have no idea how these situation actually play out but they're trainined to not make hesitations as it could cost there life or the life's of others. They had no idea who that person was, don't blame it on the swat team blame it on the swatter who made that call and arranged that situation
Rick Harris if we went by your policy alot more people would be dead, swat members are not supposed to hesitate.
Rich you did predict swatting ending a life of somebody let's hope one day swatting will be put to an end
Yeah, he predicted deadly force being deadly force...why...why is that amazing?
Joey Greathouse This issue has not been taken seriously, one would not believe it would escalate to this level.
Joey Greathouse Not a lot of people talk about it much
The short sleeve long sleeve is making my OCD go crazy
WarBreadBoy LMAO sucks you have OCD 😂😂😂
WarBreadBoy Do you REALLY have OCD? Are you self diagnosed?
pk memes he has terminal gay
Terminal gay? Is that like when you are so gay that... You know... Nevermind.
Why did you have to mention it...
People DO NOT want to take responsibility for their actions and this is why this kind of stuff is happening more and more. This also includes why the police state Rich mentioned is taking place
Unfortunately for most people, it's easier to try and forget your misdeeds than it is to own them.
Thank you for making this video!
I feel like if the police were less aggressive and less militarized this would mitigate the severity of this issue. Obviously the swatters need to be charged with terrorism, our obstruction of justice.
police and Andrew were put in an impossible situation
Kid Presentable Not really, it's in the job description to descalate situations, they did the escalating, which is especially terrible because there was no real danger.
Gavin Erickson this is a swat team, not regular police there job is to stop the threat. Big difference
Frauggu What's the difference, they both show the same disregard for public safety.
+kirby 5329 SWAT teams are specially trained units MADE UP OF REGULAR PATROL COPS, who respond to special situations, usually hostages or barricaded suspects with weapons.
They're not an execution squad, but lately in America, that's what they have become and they're being given a badge and it's treated like a license to kill. Not even juries convict obvious murdering cops because they're afraid they'll be targeted by other cops who know the guilty one.
Police in America are no different than the Sicilian mafia.
In my town there was a swatting on Sunday but luckily the police realized it was one before busting in the house.
Rich talking about the swatting, and then a Little Caesars ad plays. I want pizza now.
Look what happened to Andrew Finch, what happened to him? Was it just a pizza sent to his house? No, a bullet was sent through his body and now he's dead. His niece had to walk over his dying body and you know what was even worse is that they even cuffed Finch's family members and brought them down to the station. Is that just a pizza?
Nuck Figgers I dunno I just copied what Rich said about pizza at 15:07.
Im actually glad nothing happened to my old friend phil when he got swatted
Terra Novei he got swatted but nothing bad happened to him or his gf at the time th-cam.com/video/_9_j4HlPTm8/w-d-xo.html
*I think alot of people predicted something like this would eventually happen. ✅🙄*
Oh my god.
Please talk about logan. I need your 2 cents.
You mean 2 cucumber
Do u need his 2 cents maybe you should get your own
He's a f*cking dickwad that can get away with anything just like Pewdiepie because they make YT too much money. There you go, the end.
Please, no! I hate Rich two cents.
Let me make a joke
Logan Paul
Edgy Teen Wow, you really are an edgy teen.
Edgy Teen Wow, you really are an edgy teen
Edgy Teen Wow, you really are an edgy teen
Edgy Teen Wow, you really are an edgy teen.
I like turtles.
What's sad is the story doesn't end there, the niece ended up taking her life due to trauma of what happened to Andrew
I'm seeing a lot of comments here about how it's the cop's fault, and even in the video Rich blames the officer, but I'm going to try and play devils advocate here. A very close family member of mine is a police officer, as a matter of fact up until recently he served on the County Tactical Team, which is basically SWAT. From my talks with this family member of mine I've learned a lot about how police officer's think when entering a situation that isn't even overtly threatening. A traffic stop, for instance, can rapidly go from routine to lethal.
So imagine you're the police officer in this case, you arrive and see someone come out onto the porch. He may not match the description, but hey, criminals lie. For all you know, he's the criminal. Then, you see him lower his hands to his waist, just for a second, before he starts to raise them again. He said in the call he wouldn't drop the gun, and that likely means he intends to use it. My family member said it very simply. "At the end of the day, I'm going to make sure I go home to my family alive.". And so as the suspect starts to raise his hands from his waist, you have an instant to respond. The report said he was armed and had already killed someone. He could fire at you, he could fire at another officer, lives seemingly hang in the balance and you can't hesitate, what do you do?
It isn't easy, nor is it black and white.
It's tragic that a man died, but condemning the officer is cruel. He already has to live with the death of someone on his conscience because some piece of human garbage turned an officer of the law into a weapon.
That's no excuse for being so trigger-happy. Think of all the UK, German, Australian, New Zealand, French, Canadian and Japanese police in the *exact* same situation, and yet the percentage of people who are shot fatally in these countries is minimal. (The suspects are more likely to kill individuals than the police are.) What's the difference in these situations?
The problem is that if you watch the bodycam, Finch did absolutely nothing out of the ordinary wrong. The “gesture” that made the cops shoot him was him putting his hands up to his eyes because they were shining a spotlight on him. You could argument that it could’ve been him pointing the gun if it weren’t for the fact that the SWAT team was about 100 yards away from Finch’s house. If he was pointing a handgun, then he wouldn’t have enough range to be accurate with it, giving the police enough time to react. The first reaction shouldn’t be to shoot anybody that does anything out of the ordinary. It should be to analyze the situation and deal with it as such.
The interview with Keemstar is even more chilling then the 911 clip. Honestly to me it's not even about setting an example at this point, they need to lock this sociopath up for life cause it's clear to me that even if he gets 25 years, the moment he's out he'll do something like this again.
In his mind he's done nothing wrong, and truly believes he's a victim of circumstance. In his own words, it was the guy that pulled the trigger as well as the 2 idiots who got into a pissing match over a dollar is who should be held accountable or at the very least at a much higher degree then he ever should be.
But the sad part is, is that it's not even the worst part about this. It's the fact that he feels no emotion for what's happened. No fear for what awaits him, no remorse for the victim and the victim's family, no nothing. Not even any anger for being what he feels is being wrongly prosecuted for murder. this nut job feels nothing, and to me that's the scariest part about this.
I am totally with Rich on they need to throw the book at him so it'll make others think twice about pulling this crap, but thank god they have him now cause he's one of the few where the strict laws wouldn't of made him think twice about swatting.
If your a Joycon Man, you know how serious Etkia takes this. If HE takes it seriously,you know it's real.
Etika doesn't have a final decision on what I think is fucked up. He was pretty heated about it. Even shed a tear.
SayianSpiritGamer how's he doing now?
Vae Victis Dont know, he hasn't tweeted about it at all. Hope our "man"/"boi" is good though.
People have been saying it could possibly be related to his brother that had past. No one knows.
Jade[d] he said his brother died from an asthma attack though.
As a veteran I get thanked for having done something most see as an extreme and unforgiving job. I will tell you that law enforcement is, in some ways, more so. Their highs and lows, in the field, are often more extreme. We trained a lot to prepare for it. It's also something that you have to continuously do that training to maintain a functioning level of ability to do. Both military and law enforcement have to do that training or the adrenaline takes over. Another fact is that many law enforcement personnel never draw their weapon. Due to the environment they have to work in and the bs perfection they are expected to maintain, this was an inevitability. A sad one, but one none the less. The more pressure our society puts on them, the more likely these stupid actions will lead to dire outcomes.
I'm a personal bodyguard, we do the job of the police and military only we ACTUALLY PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS and don't RANDOMLY KILL UNARMED PEOPLE because we are ACTUALLY TRAINED.
Adrenaline management is ESSENTIAL to firearms handling, you obvious fish!!!
Try again, 'Veteran'.
You speak as if Veterans are simply fighting dogs waiting to be put down, with no place in peaceful society! Jesus Christ!
KG They wouldnt be pressured by society if they didnt kill unarmed people, violate our rights, and had tanks. Just saying.
Joey did you even read my post? Doesn't seem like it. I did mention that training is a must and it must be ongoing to manage it. I never said, implied, or anything of the sort that vets are just fighting dogs. You obviously cannot read.
Sorry Burg, but they don't have tanks. There is a huge different between an armored personnel carrier and a tank.
I do agree the police need more training, but demanding every last cop be thrown in jail without fully knowing the whole situation is just adding to the problem. You show them you don't care about their well being, they pull away and it becomes more them versus us. They may do their job, but it's just a job. Yes, some definitely deserve to go to prison. Others don't.
KG The army of the US doesn't fight for the US, but is used for the goals of the greedy and evil people who own the goverment in the US. They always know to convert their goals well in goals that seem necessary for safety of the people with their ultimate tool: the media .
Well Rich, coming from someone that lives not too far away from Wichita Kansas. I like to point out the Wichita Kansas has extremely high crime rate.
And multiple times it ends a lot worse than this (not saying it isn't sad he died from a fasle report), but like you said the person that called it made sure the police were ready to shoot.
It actually happened 4 blocks away from me.
Rick Harris No, it's because of dumbass people like you.
I hate that more awareness isn't brought to people's attention. I have a (ridiculously) tiny TH-cam channel and the chances of me being anywhere near notable enough to be swatted is miniscule, but is had a discussion about this with my fiance and the real fear that comes with it. Doing what you love for a living is a blessing and I'm a huge fan of yours for it. You're the reason I decided to make my own channel. But I digress. People need to know the realities that come with this new way of entertainment, wether it's being on TH-cam, Twitch, or even playing a match online like these two. Keep fighting the good fight, Rich!
Words cannot describe how utterly heartbreaking this is. My prayers go out to Andrew Finch’s family and friends. God watch over all of us.
Incidences like this give the state more excuse to tighten controls and increase monitoring on the internet and in telecommunications in general.
Tora Yagami i know i might sound like a guy with tinfoil on his head but thats basically the illuminatis plan. Feel free to disagree with my opinion
*I gotta be honest Rich, I love looking at your beautiful face.*
*Happy holidays brother.*
*May 2018 bring you, your family & friends success and happiness*
I think the person who shot an innocent dude should also be arrested... Haven't fully watched this video or gotten much info on it yet, but if he shot a guy who didn't seem to be a threat beyond what an anonymous guy on the phone said then he should lose his job at the very least...
SuperKingclay The police officer did nothing wrong.
Ralphie Cifaretto Idk... I'd need to perhaps see the footage of the swatting, but after seeing this video I guess I can understand how they went into the house very tense... Still, I think when it comes to shooting people I'd like it if police made sure that those people were innocent until proven guilty before shooting. If a person answered the door they couldn't have been too far away from the officers at the door to be tackled to the ground as opposed to shot, but maybe they panicked and did something that set off alarm bells in the head of the officer or something... From the sounds of it the officer was too ready to shoot though...
SuperKingclay dont be ignorant. These are the swat not the cops. They are called in situations where someone might day
But That's None Of My Business I guess you mean "die". Anyway, it still doesn't change the fact that they get all these calls from people who want to see swat teams attack streamers and potentially kill them. Regular police are also called in situations where someone might die. Swat are just more geared towards handling situations like bomb threats or hostage situations. Police are more there for crimes like petty theft and such, but there's still times where they are sent to possible gunfights. In this case, the person calling them described it as a hostage situation where his family was captured and he was considering burning them alive supposedly. So, a swat team was sent in. Doesn't mean the swat team arrives and shoots the first person they see at the address though. When they could just easily apprehend the first person at the address who opened the door for them so really couldn't have been more than a meter away from them. They obviously didn't have the address right so really anyone could've been killed if the caller gave the swat team the address for whoever if the swat team's policy is "arrive, see a person, shoot" and I doubt this person was armed or anything. How did they determine that the person they shot was a threat to anyone and could not be apprehended upon opening the door and thus a few steps away from a swat team? Was he armed? If so, fine. Not sure why some innocent person would open the door armed though, especially if they saw that a swat team was outside...
Rick Harris Yeah. I'm Canadian, but I've seen the American police do some really messed up things. It's sad when you compare NA police to Scandinavian police who rarely use their guns which are behind glass and they need to call it in whenever they use them for anything. They also have prisons meant to reform rather than punish, get a lot less repeat offenders on average, and let prisoners play video games and such. They've had too few prisoners whereas America has too many so they keep shutting down prisons (although idk if the whole Syrian immigrant situation has changed that at all)
I know Sweden in particular kind of sucks with how SJW it is now, but their prison system seems really good for a country like theirs. Might not work as well in a country like America though for various reasons.
Thank you. You hit every point that went through my head when I heard about this.
When you've lost empathy for anyone, you only care about how best to execute your plan than how you'll affect lives. All that matters are the actions and consequences. Not the feelings.
As we humans tend to care only about "good enough", never knowing any better, never striving for any better, we will continue to see cases like this taking various shapes and forms.
Give him life with out parol in solitary
And put the key in the furnace.
I agree with what you said, But As much as I really hate to say this Rich............ That cop needs to be charged to. Im sick of seeing things like this on the news where a cop "ACCIDENTLY" shot someone because "So & So" was happening so they were protecting other people..... Thats BS in my opinion, if a Cop shoots someone thats innocent, they deserved to be punished as well, IDC if they are a 7 year verten like this dude was. Point blank he shot and killed an innocent person, all excuses aside........... had to say it because Im 28, and have seen this happen numerous times
i thought someone killed ajit pi
Unfortunatly not
But That's None Of My Business Lel
But That's None Of My Business unfortunately?.............. You are suggesting killing a person for 1. For 2 Ajit Pai's death would not end Net Neutrality. For 3 that would just make it worse for the internets case and leave us more fucked as it would add another reason for having net neutrality.
uh bloody you've got literally everything mixed up about net neutrality lmao
Ch0m0nder Hedges Me too. I hope people don't kill him. I want him to live to regret his action. (Fail at the FCC, don't get rehired by Verizon because he failed, struggle for the rest of his life to find a job because the other 80% dont want him)
I was far more entertained by that 911 call then I should have been.
The guy don’t know a damn thing about the house or his family. I can’t believe cops couldn’t figure this out.
Yeah, There should have been a ton of red flags raised from that phone call that sounded "off"; but I guess 100% hindsight is a virtue.
You are spot in with the comparison to Charles Manson.
Rich, I agree with you on everything you just said. This guy is a murder in my book, he might as well just pulled the trigger him self. Sad.
Law enforcement is just as much to blame as the swatters themselves.
I love y'all nah, they should just use deductive reasoning and restraint. The police can tell the address of whoever calls them and the VOIP temporary out of state phone number should be the first clue.
its the system, police are trained awful in America compared to europe, with training cops could be soo much better, it takes 1 year to be a cop where in European countries it takes around 2-3 years and you i dont think you get your firearm on the first hear (i think i may be wrong on many things) but its still true
How???? My bad you been in a shoot out before enlighten me doctor phil... you dont know what goes on in a shootout please tell me person who has been through ir.
If someone has the balls to call the SWAT on someone else they should face the consequences such as 1st degree attempted murder charges
When I saw this on the news all I remember was Rich stating this years ago.
I live in Wichita and when this happened it was on everyone's mind. Terrible thing.
As soon as I heard the news last week I said to myself "this is what rich said would happen"
I think this counts as murder by proxy
Consequences that would GUARANTEE "people would NEVER " Swat again:
1st Offense
•30 years in prison (15 if you spend it in Solitary); or 20 years (10 Solitary) if you appear on National TV and BEG for taxpayer forgiveness
•Pay funeral/medical costs of victims, Swat costs for wasted time/resources, PLUS another $5,000 per casualty as an apology to wasting tax dollars, or get another 5 years (2.5 years Solitary) for every fine not paid to the ABSOLUTE FULLEST
•Can NEVER apply for welfare/permanent loss of welfare.
•Added to a Public "Swatting" database PERMANENTLY (similar to Sex Offenders) for all potential neighbors/employers to see
•Charge with a Felony, murder/attempted murder, and criminal negligence (Felony means no more voting/owning weapons)
•Required by law to wear ankle bracelet and have monitored calls/texts, internet, bank accounts, etc. for 10 years. Can appeal AFTER MANDATORY classes and therapy
2nd Offense
•Death by firing squad within the hour of conviction. (An Eye For An Eye)
Don't like these punishments? Simple. Don't Swat.
Wow, Rich with his new setup and a lot thicker! Time flies by man, time flies by! I didn't think it was that long.
I knew he was pregnant
It's a pickle
wheres my shower I just bought a switch yesterday
lemme guess what it is before watching, swatting finally ended in a murder.
yep i was right.
By the title I was thinking Logan Paul.
Reverboi same
I almost broke as soon as I heard you say the victim's niece walked over his body. God, how terrible we as humans can be....
10:55 As a member of the US Army Military Police, I can confirm that these police officers who are always like shoot first, ask questions later, are completely breaking the law and should be put in prison for things like this. There's a certain rule that officers are supposed to abide by called the 7 levels of force. (notice there's nothing saying you can kill the subject)
#1 - *Officer presence* (Usually an officer just showing up should be enough to stop something from happening.)
#2 - *Verbal Control* (Using clear and audible commands in attempt to maintain the subject)
#3 - *Empty-handed Submission* (Things like attempting to cuff the subject, or just going for pressure points to subdue them)
#4 - *Aggressive Response* (Includes un-armed physical harm like punching/kicking, as well as OC spray and/or Taser/Stungun)
#5 - *Non-lethal Weapons* (Includes weapons that would cause injury but not fatality like a Baton, Police Dog, Beanbag Rounds)
#6 - *Shoot to Warn* (Using a firearm to grab the attention of, but not kill the subject. Usually firing at the ground is enough)
#7 - *Shoot to harm* (Once again, in attempt not to kill the subject, but just subdue them, you can use this only after going through all other levels of force)
Could the Police not trace the call and see it wasn't coming form that address?
Only for landlines. e911 for cell phones still needs a lot of work, and good luck getting a trace on a VOIP number or inactivated cell phone.
That would take way too long, SWAT teams are dispatched immediately to try to save as many lives as they can.
Or take as many lives as they can rather.

Videos on this were what I was watching when first subbing to rich
Totally agree. If you accuse someone of a felony, knowing it's false, at the very least you should get whatever punishment the person you accused would have gotten had he been wrongfully convicted. Adding on any additional harm upon the victim, is fair as well. Prison should be mandatory in such cases. Law should also require police & prosecutors pursue charges in such cases.
That moment when you see ppl complain about ads on this video but you didn't get a single one 🤷🏽♂️
Man that winter virus is really going around. I got it too. :/
TrueBlueMajikDewd I have it now, most crappy thing ever
Could you explain it
So that's what it is?...Let me go Google more about it
everyone's had it I think.
Rich has been saying this for YEARS
I hope you didn’t get demonetized for this, I’ve literally been hit with 5 commercials while watching
I only got one
Meth Lab I got 4 :o
"I got a rock"
-charlie brown
Some states have a law that if while committing a crime [swatting] someone loses their life you are responsible and charged with murder.
Wow... never thought I'd live to see the day that someone actually praised Kimstar of all people...
Someone died in a swatting prank, could have put that in the title Rich. Hope they get arrested.
TheUnholyOne the swatter did luckily.
He did.
