WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Swatting

Swatting is a trend of prank calls involving an anonymous call made to get a team of police to storm a building or an innocent person's home, and it happened last week in LA when armed police stormed the home of pop star Miley Cyrus, who got engaged to Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth in June, after receiving an emergency call about a possible kidnapping and shooting. The LAPD and rescue crews surrounded the former Hannah Montana star's house in Hollywood on Wednesday, while helicopters circled the property. But they soon discovered there was no one in the building. Swatting is a waste of police time and resources that could be used to deal with genuine incidents. But thankfully, police are tracking the bellend responsible, and if they're found, they will be prosecuted and could face up to a year in jail where their bad little butt will receive the long, hard probing that it deserves.
