The Bethlehem swatter's been found-------in Canada

 Last month, Bethlehem High was deluged with phone threats directed at the football team, among other things. One game was cancelled. A men's soccer match vs. the same opponent---Christian Brothers Academy----was postponed twice before it was finally played earlier this month, right before sectionals.

We're now learning that on October 25, an arrest was made-----in Canada. Specifically, Halifax, Nova Scotia. A 14 year old was charged with making the threats, but for now, the charges are only within Canadian confines.


"We're still working with the FBI. I hear they want to send this kid to New York, wherever that is!"

Since this Weasel is a juvenile, his name is not being released. It has been confirmed that this punk was spoofing internet IP's and phone numbers to keep authorities guessing. If you thought this was all a joke, son, it isn't.

Swatting calls can be hazardous, not only to law enforcement, but also innocent citizens targeted for no other reason than someone else's sick amusement. 

If only this dweeb would've done something even simpler, like Bart Simpson for example.


I think The Simpsons ultimately scaled back or retired the phone pranks.

In any case, in this writer's opinion, because of what happened at Bethlehem, based in Delmar, this kid should be extradited to Albany to be held accountable, tried as an adult, and get a few lessons on what real comedy is meant to be. As I've already spoiled, our Canadian John Doe is this week's Weasel of The Week.
