28-year-old Andrew Finch of Wichita, Kansas, was killed last night by police in what appears to have been an incident of "swatting." Deputy police chief Troy Livingston told the Wichita Eagle that police were responding to a report of a murder and hostage situation at Finch's home when he came to the front door and was shot.

USA... when showing up at your door can make you killed by the police....

"This stupid bastard is accused of killing people and taking hostages, and then he just answers the door unarmed and confused? Take him down, boys!"

Imagine if the hostage was escaping and they just shot them.

Frankly it's everyone's fault for even living in the United States.

Reminds me of South Park: "It's comin' right for us!"

There's another old South Park where the adults are wasted at a meteor watching party. The cops show up because they think it's a suicide cult and start shooting people leaving the party.

That one was inspired by WACO. Things never change...
