René Rebe, a 25-year veteran of Free and Open-Source Software development, was swatted and taken in for questioning.

I wonder what the hell you have to tell the police in Germany to take someone away for questioning (handcuffed, no less) based on an anonymous accusation. If I understand it correctly they didn’t even search his home, at least not thoroughly.
Just telling them he supports not exterminating all Palestinians is probably enough
Antisemitismus!
Also underclasses are bad and we shouldn’t run things in a way that makes them.
From the link’s comments, someone thought: “The police (no matter the country involved here) went way over the top on this. An anonymous e-mail is nowhere near enough evidence to go arresting/detaining someone without a thorough investigation first. The only possible exceptions being domestic violence, child abuse or a homicide in progress.”
Damn they swatted the code therapy dude…what a niche youtube channel to decide to fuck with.
They should just only accept tips on swatting-related offenses from sources that are identifiable.
But then they won’t get to jump into their exciting Swat carriers and get dressed up as real special ops bois nearly as often
Good thing there weren’t any menacing baby cribs to throw grenades into.
@BrikoX What’s wrong with tomshardware site? Can’t hardly read two sentences before it crashes.
