New Ace of Swords characters! ^^

“Swatting” is the practice of making a false report to emergency services in the hope of getting a S.W.A.T. team or other large number of police officers sent to someone else’s location.

Late last December, an online gamer falsely reported a hostage situation at an opponent’s house. The police arrived in force. 28-year-old Andy Finch (unarmed) opened his front door to see why there were so many police lights and sirens outside. The police promptly shot him dead.

The man who made the false report was charged with manslaughter. (No charges for the police officer who killed Finch.)

Now, David Hogg is one of the more outspoken student survivors of February’s  massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. He has become a prominent advocate for gun control and against gun violence, organizing events such as the March for Our Lives: Road to Change. Needless to say, he is not popular with certain pro-gun entities.

So earlier this week somebody called the police anonymously, and falsely reported that someone had broken into the Hogg home and was holding the family hostage with an AR-15 assault rifle. The police arrived en masse--with their own assault rifles--and kicked down his door, prepared for a shootout with a heavily armed intruder.

Fortunately, David and his family weren’t home at the time.

Still, there was every possibility that David Hogg could have ended up just like poor Andy Finch.

That’s not a prank.

Here's one of those videos. I usually don't upload them to Youtube because I'm afraid of copyright claims, but I tried with this one. XD

The voices in this one are for Tyrios, Andy (Clancy's father) and Athix.

Andy and Chrissy are Clancy Finch's parents. He's not had much contact with them since he left home. I wonder if you can get an idea of what these two are like from just the art. XD As for me... I both love them and hate them. XD They are fun characters for sure, but.... well....
