Peter Simeti's swatter is still out there
Alterna publisher Simeti posted an update on the investigation into the terrible experience he went through last year:
I certainly hope the perpetrator who committed such a horrific act against him over petty issues will be found, and jailed with a stiff fine for doing something extremely dangerous. This was by far one of the most disturbing things to happen at the time the Comicsgate campaign was a big thing, and it demonstrates how monstrously low certain characters out there are willing to go over peanuts. Since then, most leftist creators who'd attacked Comicsgate have quietly dropped the issue. But sometimes even that's not enough. They decidedly owe an apology for indirectly influencing a whole glob of characters to do something wrong that could've been avoided.
The person that SWATted us is still out there.— Peter Simeti 💬 (@petersimeti) May 21, 2020
I'm sure they're giddy over all the nonsense they've caused over the past year.
On top of all of that, we have to deal with *this* guy, prying into the case and digging up our trauma for his own amusement. pic.twitter.com/44i4It7cpQ
Once I have the full case file from the police, I'll be releasing a clip from the livestream of when I was SWATted along with parts of the police report.— Peter Simeti 💬 (@petersimeti) May 21, 2020
At this point it's not about proving people wrong, it's about clearing my name and proving that my supporters were right.
Maybe by doing that, it will provide some sense of closure to all of this and we can finally move past it... even if other people choose not to.— Peter Simeti 💬 (@petersimeti) May 21, 2020
