'SWATing'

To think when I was growing up, if you really wanted to get back at someone, you ordered a dozen pizzas to be delivered to their house.  Now, I guess the cool thing to do is have a SWAT team delivered to their house:

Fake shooting 911 call leads to scary situation for Kingston family
Wow...imagine that...someone decides they are bored/spurned online, and 15 minutes later, there is instant entertainment as the SWAT team is knocking down your door and holding you at gun point.

The worst part is, there is NO WAY the police can ignore a call like that...not in this day and age. 

I was gonna say that his is just one more negative of being a gun owner....but this could happen to anyone. 

The article says that if you are caught making a false report, you could be sentenced to a year in jail.  To me, it seems more the type of thing we should bring back stocks for...put the chucklehead out on display in the middle of town for a week or so and let his peer group see how cool he is...
