H3H3 reveals how swatter \u201cattempted to murder\u201d them and newborn baby During the October 23 episode of the \u2018h3 podcast\u2019, YouTube comedic duo Ethan and Hila Klein revealed a horrific story of how they were swatted when they were returning home with their newborn son. H3h3 is one of the most popular reaction channels on YouTube, as the comedic duo created hilarious skits that gave thoughtful commentary. With viral videos like their iconic \u2018vape nation\u2019 video, they eventually amassed a following of over 6.5 million on the video hosting platform. However, the duo eventually transitioned over to podcasting, and on their latest episode, Ethan and Hila opened up to their audience about how they had been swatted on numerous occasions, and it got so bad that they were forced to get the FBI involved. The YouTubers were initially hesitant to talk about their situation, as they didn\u2019t want to give attention to their harasser, but decided to open up about what they had been going through in the last year. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to talk about it because I didn\u2019t want to give them any satisfaction, attention or encouragement,\u201d the podcast hosts said when speaking about how their old address became public. After debating over whether to just leave it there, Ethan then decided to address it. \u201cWe kept getting swatted. The first time it happened it was terrible enough, because the police showed up, their guns drawn, there was multiple helicopters.\u201d Hila then jumped in and exclaimed, \u201cIt was traumatizing, it was absolutely awful!\u201d As if that wasn\u2019t terrifying enough, the YouTube duo then revealed that their harasser had swatted them on another occasion, and timed it with when they were arriving home with their recently born son. \u201cThese people timed it up with when we were arriving home with Theodore to put him in harm\u2019s way,\u201d Ethan revealed upsettingly. \u201cThere is an FBI case open, we have taken it all the way up the chain.\u201d He then made it clear that swatting is not a prank and said, \u201cYou will go to f*cking jail!\u201d before he stated that the pair consider what their harassers did to them to be \u201cattempted murder\u201d as it puts them in harm\u2019s way. \u201cI do seriously consider it to be attempted murder,\u201d the podcast host reiterated. \u201cThey tried to kill our baby. They tried to traumatize our baby!\u201d (Timestamp of 01:36 for mobile viewers.) Swatting is a very serious issue, as wrongdoers not only waste police resources, but put the target of their call into potential danger as police arrive assuming that they are facing a serious threat to the public. One swatting incident even tragically led to a death in June of 2017 when a man called up police after having a dispute with a gamer online. The incident ended in tragedy, and landed the perpetrator in jail, where he was sentenced to twenty years in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
