Mir Islam, a 21-year-old Brooklyn, was sentenced to 2 years in jail for his swatting in 2013 and 2014.

Essentially calling 911 and calling in an emergency at the victim’s house or business.

One of his victims was Wayne LaPierre. LaPierre did not attend the sentencing hearing but sent a lawyer, who tried to hide LaPierre’s identity:

According to Dycio (LaPierre’s lawyer), police responded to reports of a hostage situation at the NRA boss’s home (sic). Impersonating LaPierre, Islam told police he had killed his wife and that he would shoot any officers responding to the scene. Dycio said police initially had difficulty identifying the object in LaPierre’s hand when he answered the door. It turned out to be a cell phone, but Dycio said police assumed it was a weapon and stripped the cell phone from his hands when entering his residence. The police could have easily mistaken the mobile phone for a weapon, Dycio said.

No excuse for swatting, The story goes into detail on the problems this caused.

But LaPierre.
