An 81-year-old streamer, playing through Minecraft until she "beats" it, has been swatted, with 20 police cars, five SWAT cars full of multiple SWAT officers, and drones arriving at her house.

GrammaCrackers, who has over 600,000 YouTube followers, is using her viral streams to raise money for her grandson's cancer treatment. She was asleep, while her stream of Minecraft was still live, when officers were seen entering her house with torches and rifles.

"I was asleep, I did not want to get up, and these policemen came in the door," the 81-year-old said in a follow-up video. "They locked me out. I didn't know what was going on, but it was kinda fun. My kid and my grandkid were hugging me; I don't get that kind of attention normally. Then I got to ride in a police car. I've never ridden in a police car before. Then it was all over, so I thought 'Well, I've gotta go to bed', so I took an ibuprofen and went to bed."



The streamer, who has also streamed Fortnite, Rocket League, and Roblox, seemed upbeat about the whole situation, saying the police officers were "so nice to me, I loved them, shout out to them, they were wonderful." She added that the only thought going through her head as she was taken outside was, "I'm walking outside with bare feet, and it's not hurting."

GrammaCrackers is the latest high-profile streamer to face the indecency of being swatted. In 2021, xQc revealed that the police thought he was a meth addict when he was swatted. In 2022, controversial streamer Adin Ross was banned on Twitch after he faced the same fate. And last year, the actor who plays Grand Theft Auto 5's Michael, Ned Luke, revealed that he has been swatted so often that he is now friends with the police.


Swatting a streamer is completely illegal in the US and is often prosecuted as a felony. This is at both the state and federal levels. The most famous case came in 2018, when 25-year-old Tyler Barriss tried to swat a streamer, but instead sent the police to the wrong address. It ended with a father-of-two being shot dead by officers. Barriss was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

People talk about the crazy wild west, no holds barred nature of the old Internet, but this kind of shit that's commonplace now just didn't happen. People called you a faggot, threatened to fuck your mom, and then went on with their lives.

on a Cancer Charity stream?

these SWATTERS need to be arrested and publicly humiliated.

Who the fuck swats an old lady?

I uploaded a local archive of both GrammaCracker's response to the swatting as well as a clip of the swatting itself in the MCYT thread:

Who the fuck swats an old lady?

Zoomers have no touch with reality and can't grasp consequences

This is heartbreaking actually. I'm glad she's alright all things considered. Could've gone much worse

 

[StarkRavingMad]

The internet was a mistake. It's turned the general populace into psychopaths.

Total Swatter Death

At most, they'd have pizzas sent to your house.

At most, they'd have pizzas sent to your house.

I remember 2005-ish when people would mass-send USPS shipping boxes (because you just needed to give an address and they'd be sent for free) and there was a lot of debate over whether something that innocuous was over the line.

Under the Hammarabi code, the response to attempting to SWAT someone would be for your local police to conduct a no-knock raid on you, fumigating the place with tear gas before entry so as to risk officer lives as little as possible.

when officers were seen entering her house with torches

What? Is "torch" shorthand for some piece of paramilitary gear that I'm unfamiliar with? If not, are we talking about butane torches here? Did they tell the police that she was a fucking vampire?

Assuming you're not kidding - but "torch" is the British colloquialism for Flashlight.

Nah, I wasn't joking. I had never heard it used in place of flashlight, and I was genuinely astonished that they had cops raiding houses by torchlight. Thank you for the clarification.

Can't do that anymore. Say 'faggot' over VC and you get banned. Type 'faggot' into game chat and you get banned. Call someone a faggot on your regular social media account and an insane white woman with piercings will keep calling your boss until he grudgingly tells you to remove your workplace from your profile. Videogames and the internet have removed all the non-nuclear options for dealing with shitheads online.

That has nothing to do with someone attempting police murder on a grandma who's playing a single-player game. That's just pyschopathy.

Torches are what police call their flashlights.

I imagined they went in with literal torches since she's a Minecraft streamer before realizing that's retarded and it's just how Britbongs say flashlight. This story was far more interesting for that second.

That's because it wasn't as common to share everything about your life including your address online back then.

 

[Super Guido]

I wouldn't be surprised if the SWATters' intention was to scare her to death.
