      Ashton Connor Garcia, 21, of Bremerton, pleaded guilty to federal charges of extortion and threats for which he will spend three years in federal custody, followed by a term of three years of federal supervision.

      Way too short of jail time for this behavior:

      ““Garcia often made several hoax calls per week and sometimes multiple calls in a single day. He treated swatting like a form of entertainment in which he was the star performer. He set up internet chatrooms devoted to swatting, and he invited people to come watch his swatting calls as if it were a premier sporting event,” Manca wrote.”

        It’s bizarre to me, he called himself a terrorist like 3 times in that article, why wasn’t he charged for that?

      What an idiot! 21! He basically waited for the worst time in his life to make it much much worse.
