recent hoaxes attributed to professional swatters; they charge (pretty cheap) money to perform such tasks

"(zh) federal and local authorities have been bombarded with a series of hoax active-shooter incidents at a dozen U.S. universities in recent weeks, even as a horrific shooting unfolded in minneapolis yesterday, where a crazed transgender shooter, with 'kill Trump' on his weapon, killed two children and injured 17 others at a Catholic school.

"a new report from wired claims that one of its journalists made contact with the self-proclaimed leader of an extremist online hacker group called purgatory, which operates on a telegram channel and is responsible for the surge in swatting hoaxes at major universities nationwide.

"wired's David Gilbert said purgatory is linked with extremist network the com and subgroup 764 that markets a menue [sic] of harassment services on its telegram channel, including swatting schools for $20 (now $95), attacking hospitals, businesses, and airports for up to $50, and even offering 'slashings' or 'brickings' for as little as $10–$35."

GRA: Is that why our unemployment rate is so low--bizarre jobs like this? How do they get unemployment benefits? (/sarcasm)

They write down "professional a**holes" for their last job?
