I was just watching a live youtube broadcast by Carey Holzman and he was swatted. 10 police cars showed up and they searched his house then you could hear a helicopter. It was crazy. All during this time he was on a live microphone doing the broadcast.

This guy just can't seem to see past his own view.

The cops do not know what is going on. And they can't just take a stranger's word that nothing is going on or that it's all a prank.

He just can't seem to understand that and blames the cops for doing their jobs.

He was in the middle of doing a live stream of a computer that he purchased with his own money to upgrade it with better parts that he purchased with his own money to give away to one of his viewers that couldn't afford a nice computer when he was swatted. Let that sink in. So go on about how Carey behaved inappropriately when he was treated like a murderer. And hope to God you're never put in that situation.

None of that changes the situation at all. He's mad at the cops who cannot possibly have any idea what is going on and cannot logically just take the word of a stranger at the scene they have been called to.

He's mad at the wrong people and it's illogical. He's abusing the wrong people for just doing their jobs.

I understand he's upset. But he's not being rational continuing to blame the cops even after they have left.

No idea who this guy is. If someone is "swatting", I hope the cops find the SOB.

I'm confused - WTF did this guy want the police to do? Just say "Oh, Ok Mr. Dahmer, we'll take your word that you don't have the heads of several victims in your refrigerator"

Hey wtf I agree with an Amused post :D


The cops overstep their bounds a lot and I get that, I really do. They need to be pushed back on more. But in this case they were responding to a situation where they had to determine if there was actually a threat and they can’t simply just take the dudes work for it. What if whatever they called in was true and he killed somebody after?

Your outrage should be at the people who directed the police there and attempted to have him killed and not for a person just standing up for his rights. He didn't scream or yell or cuss at them. Why aren't you outraged at the people who swatted? I am so sick of victim blaming. It's gross.

I dunno but good question.

pburk why do people not like your brother
Click to expand...

I don't know what he could have possibly done to anyone to deserve that; Furthermore, myself and my children are over at his house frequently during filming and we could have been hurt or killed as well.
My brother was in the middle of a build for a person that he was giving away for free because that person couldn't afford a decent computer and this is the 2nd computer that he had given away in 2 weeks (the first one went to a disabled vet) that's the kind of person my brother is. I think the action that the swatter took says more about them than it does about my brother and it makes me lose almost all hope for the decency of humanity that a handful of people on the internet are more critical of the victims actions than they are of an attacker. I think that anyone who feels less than outraged over the assailant and who wants to find fault in the victim, should be ashamed of themselves.

So the question is what did my children do to deserve to become this person's victim? Because if they do it again and we are there, that is the reality of the situation isn't it.

I'm going to just step aside the current argument and propose that this type of swatting should be chargeable as attempted murder.

Edit: This behavior has absolutely no room in society.

Agreed. Why else would someone do this if not for the hope that their victim would be killed.

Excuse me, who said I'm not outraged at the people who called it in?

Not me.

But what's curious here is your brother isn't either. He's raging FAR MORE at the fucking cops rather than the people who called it in. And that's my fucking point.

So when you get over being emotional realize you're asking ME the fucking question I'm asking HIM.

Carey Holzman is a computer Repair technician with 25 years of experience. He covers a wide range of subjects like computer Virus and Malicious software removal, Diagnosing computers that do not work (HP), and building computers. He is kind of wordy and is targeting people who may not know much about computers.

He also covers various subjects like making USB downloads to install Win 10, cloning hard drives, and things like using M.2 drives.
While he does build new computers, he doesn't charge for that. Instead he gets donations from YouTube for the Videos. He also has a person that can recommend parts for computer builds if you need that.

I did not think he handled the Swatting incidents well and he kind of irritated the police a lot. However, I felt his pain and anxiety. It is kind of nerve wracking when the police show up at your house. I do not know if you have ever gone through that. It appears that the swatter claims he had a loaded shotgun and did harm to someone. 10 police cars showed up and later you can hear a helicopter.

Raging? You just cussed at me more times than he cussed at the cops. How many times did he use swear words at the cops? Let me help you with that. It was two times less than you just cussed at me over a stupid forum post. But yeah I am sure if you were in the same situation you would handle it better because clearly you've proven yourself to be a calmer person.

Edit: Sorry 3 times. You swore at me 3 times in that last post. Classy.
