you have to be one sick twisted individual to be swatting a person, let alone a freaking elderly woman
While she's trying to raise money for her grandkid's cancer treatment, no less.
Seriously, fuck whoever did this.
And fuck who ever supports a system that results in this..
Systems - both our healthcare and policing
With cancer even with places that do have socialized medical care you might still need a lot of money.
Cancer sucks.
I agree cancer sucks, but how do you need money? There is no fee to access healthcare here.
You get care that is covered, there might still be some drugs and experimental treatments that isn't. This is because there's still no actual cure for cancer.
This is why you still can see people collecting money for treatments even when they have socialized medical care.
When your cancer can be treated with already approved treatments then you are golden otherwise you do suffer similarly.
This is not attack on socialized medical care, you are still better than no care, you might still get radiation, chemotherapy etc, it is more attack on situation cancer can create.
There would only be extra costs if you want to go for private treatment
Dark thought, what if a supporter did it, 'cuz that kid is definitely getting their treatment paid for now.
She couldve died, they frequently shoot innocent people and animals during these raids
Swatting is fucked up
The most fucked up thing is that SWAT teams keep falling for it. What fucking information did they have that warranted this level of a response? How the fuck is someone not fired every time this happens?
Damn, it did make the news after all.
Grandma could have died...
We're in Generation Duh where people think doing this kind of thing is funny. But it's funny only to them, was thought up of in 2 minutes, then discarded once any attention has been brought to it before they think of the next stupid idea that they think is funny.
Stop being right about that!
Perhaps the problem is the swat teams doing this shit with zero verification.
they share the blame for sure
