Man, would you please not link directly to US government websites?
I let my guard down for a second and opened it. Now I will need a new hard disk...
I second this. I would never, knowingly, visit a government site.

Talk about paranoid... What you didn't know is they already have access to your PC if they choose to do so. In other words, don't go online if you don't want the government to track you.

I could see a 30 day jail sentence as reasonable but five years? Waaaay over the top and not beneficial to anyone.

30 days? A huge waste of manpower and a totally not insignificant chance that the SWAT team shoots someone in the raided place. Throw him away for life. He's 33 years old, it's not like a little kid did it.

No, they don't. It takes effort and time and even a little legal process to do that. But by visiting their website they simply plant spyware on your PC and bam! No need for no process. Go read up on the documents that Snowden had leaked, if you're still not up to date with that.

5 years is a pretty long time. Seems appropriate in this case. I could certainly see a much longer sentence if someone had been killed or injured.

Bullshit. Sending a SWAT team to someone's house "for the lulz" runs the very real risk of those people actually BEING FUCKING KILLED for no other reason than that some shitbag online took some kind of offense at something they said.
Fuck that thirty days noise.

Puts officers at risk
But more importantly it puts you, your wife your kids and any pets with even a hint of a growl at risk.

You are all a bunch of socialist control freaks. The nazi swat teams shouldn't exist in the first place. 30 day sentence is plenty for someone to think about what they've done, especially after the whole trial fiasco. Maybe a repeat offender increase the sentence to six months in the worst case. Yes if someone is shot or killed then that might be grounds for holding the caller partially responsible but the swat teams take a lot of that responsibility for their own behavior too.

SWAT teams are necessary. They are absolutely over-used these days but they are still needed for situations too dangerous for a normally equipped and trained officer.
The SWAT teams are called in expecting a dangerous situation. Normal people panic when the SWAT bust in. Panicked people make bad decisions, officers expecting violence will be in reaction mode. The potential for injury or death is too high. That they both know the danger and intentionally make the deception anyways makes it willful endangerment of life and it requires more than 30 days.
