So how do these clowns anonymously call SWAT to someone? Let alone 300 times without SWAT going like "huh, the last 299 cases were all fake..."?

SWATing is fun for cops

That is a punchable face. Good job waiting until he's 18 to make the arrest.

Too bad he's white or they would have just tried him as an adult.

On October 13, he posted on social media that he had "called in a fake shooting threat" just so that "I could get you pigs to search the school and declare an 'all clear' so you would not be prepared for when the real school shooting comes. Now, it is too late for you to stop me."

Filion made similar calls to Iowa high schools, businesses in Florida, religious institutions, historical black colleges and universities, private citizens, members of Congress, cabinet-level members of the executive branch, heads of multiple federal law enforcement agencies, at least one US senator, and "a former President of the United States."

when the feds left with the evidence from their search, Alan returned to swatting.

What an edgy idiot
