We are proud to name as this week’s Laura Lee and cutter weenie of the week, an unnamed Texas woman who proved that even stupid is bigger in Texas. Now we know what you’re thinking, isn’t the Laura Lee and Cutter Weenie supposed to be from or about Wisconsin? And you’d be right, but hang on to something.
The term swatting was something that began in the world of online gaming. It’s when a person would call the police, give a false name, and say something like so and so has a gun, or so and so is doing this horrible thing. The person they’d be talking about was an opponent in a video game. The police, taking the call seriously, would then send out the SWAT team to the address provided, which in turn would, of course, knock them off the video game. Really, really dumb stuff.
Earlier this week, Fond du Lac police received a similar call from a woman who stated that a man was near Winnebago Lutheran Academy on Maple Avenue with a gun. According to the woman, the man then placed the gun into a snowbank. You’ve got a guy with a gun near a school? SWATTED! Of course, the cops took this seriously and put the school on lockdown right before the kids were to be released for the day.
The problem is that there was no gun, and the man in question wasn’t doing anything wrong other than annoying his sister. You see the call from a woman in Texas who just wanted to get her brother in trouble. The Fond Du Lac police released a statement saying that they’d be pursuing charges against this woman.
So for swatting her brother instead of swaddling her brother, for taking the sibling rivalry to heights that even the brothers in Oasis say is too much, and for not realizing that police dispatch basically invented star 69
We are proud to name this Toxic Trick of Texas as this week’s Laura Lee and Cutter Weenie of the week
