6. SWATing doesn't necessarily have anything to do with politics.

It could happen if someone owes a debt to a gangster, hasn't paid his oxycodone dealer, or is sleeping with someone's wife, or fired someone who is a great hacker, or because the guy let his dog crap on his neighbor's lawn...or whatever.

Democrats, in general, don't behave like assholes--that's what Republicans do, when they disenfranchise people of color, strip the votor rolls without due process, falsely accuse community activists of improprieties, pull "Breitbart" stunts, engage in phone jamming on election day to prevent Democrats from providing rides to the polls, etc.

If your conservative buddy is going to start making accusations about Democrats, he'd better make sure that this SWATing business didn't happen because he was fooling around where he should not have. The police aren't stupid.

It's not an issue of "expressing solidarity." As I said, Democrats generally don't behave like assholes. We have a TOS here and it guides our behavior on this site. Plotting that kind of shit would never be tolerated here. You might want to tell you pal to look closer to home.
