YouTuber Mundane Matt, a fairly big figure in the #GamerGate saga, who also blogs about anti-feminism, anti-SJWism and even some Men's Rights stuff, was SWATted yesterday.

He uploaded a video immediately after, but there was some skepticism. Local news seems to confirm the story.

Funny how we're always referred to as the violent ones yet you never, ever hear of feminists being SWATted by mras...something doesn't quite add up.

This shit needs to be a felony. Abuse of the 911 system, falsely reporting a crime, and endangering how many people? I believe that attempted murder is not too strong to describe that false 911 call.

I love how they keep calling it a "prank" (three times in the first 20 seconds). FHRITP is a prank, but you saw how female reporters reponded to that. This is no prank.

This is a life-threatening situation, and a waste of police resources that could be needed for something real.

"pranking trend"

This was no prank.

The news crew were clearly told to associate the word "Prank" with the attack to make it seem less dangerous than it was.
