Vancouver Area Teen Sentenced To 16 Months For Swatting

An anonymous reader writes: A 17-year-old from the Vancouver area in Canada has been sentenced to 16 months in youth custody and 8 months under supervision in the community after pleading guilty to 23 charges including criminal harassment, public mischief, extortion and uttering threats. The teenager was responsible for a number of swatting calls across the United States and Canada — mostly of female gamers. The judge told him, "It appears that when real life became too hard you retreated into the online world and became increasingly socially isolated. While you may think you enjoyed greater success in the online world, that success was an illusion. You were left with severely limited social skills and a significant educational deficit."

    What I think is funny is how people use media terms like "white supremacist" rather than "white separatist" or "white nationalist".

    White supremacy as defined by the media is "White people wishing to enslave and rule over non-whites." Most white nationalists and white separatists want nothing to with non-whites. They want nations or towns with the fruits of their labor going to support people like them. They want their kind to exist beyond the current 300 year virtual extinction timeline for whites. They want to be able to go outside and walk at any time without being "randomly" attacked by bored urban youth.

    Now if you mean "white supremacists" as in whites thinking their kind are better, every race has that ideology. Whites just have the history to back it up.
