SWAT raided my brother's apartment a few years back because a neighbor felt it was suspicious for a number of men to live together in one house(probably never heard of the word "roommate")... He was sleeping when they blasted their way through and was just wearing underwear. He was dragged out of the apartment, not allowed to put on clothes, and paraded in front of News cameras in his undies... They were realease a few hours later without even a single apology from single cop and non of the damages to the apartment was paid, cause "they were just doint their job".... My brother and his roommates were medical professionals saving lives almost everyday.
Just seriously wtf
That’s straight messed up
Does America really behave like this?
I assume your brother and roommates buried the police in lawsuits?
@@MetalSonicReject he already said they got no pay. I assume they had to pay the repair cost themselves
Swatting should be considered a premeditated Murder attempt from the callers.
More apt would be reckless endangerment
@@harmonicarchipelgo9351 unless someone gets killed but yeah
And also a violation of privacy, property, and life
Yes
tbf dying from swatting is very rare but its still extremely shitty and there should be a greater effort to prevent it, the stress if causes the victims is already bad enough
There was a case some years ago about a twitch streamer who got gunned down by the S.W.A.T team because someone called and said he was killing his family.
They shot him down on his front door.
Glad i don't live in us.
No the swats fault if youre told there is a person that could be armed the swat team would be wary and afraid of any little movements and rhey could react wrongly
Yeah cr1tikal talked about this.
@@carlosamigo134 radical idea, but shouldn't swat teams be trained in effective ways to deal with false alarms, if not fur to that being s common sense thing, at least due to the fact that "swatting" is such a common thing?
@@tamarlambert6121 not sure how that would work there are more actual emergency calls than pranks so you can't send Police officers unprepared it would risk them getting killed or the hostage getting killed
I’m really glad he mentioned “swatting” in this
Streamers can agree
Me too
same
Same.
Ok boomer
I remember watching a stream highlight of a 12 YEAR OLD fortnite streamer who was S.W.A.Ted. It was seriously messed up.
He was a dangerous criminal! The police are never wrong!
@Mr. ET Adam was right if you read the comments you'l weep for humanity
CDRSparrow - He was playing fortnite, so kinda deserved it. (jk)
Fortnight is a helluva drug.
IM ok this is a little funny
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Well said
@Definitely not dead inside. why do I hear soviet national anthem ?
Yep I saw the same video

Than there would be chloroform on the rag
Yes! Free pizza!
but what is tomorrow
I've heard of RUclipsrs getting swatted after revealing their address.
Or their address gets leaked
@@waleedathar102 Thats cray to hear, especially
for me, who reports crazy people, racists, sexists, on youtube.
Its sad to know that people make life for random people hard,
when i myself am sometimes accused of the same thing, even
though i just try to make the plattform better and safer.
Even gamer
Poor Jojo Siwa was swatted right after she came out.
There's a few who go shot because of it and died on the first shot
I was seven years old when a swat team busted into my house. My sister was 16 and we were I. The dining room when they busted I and put guns in our faces. My sister still has nightmares about it.
She was so scared about losing me. I froze like a deer in head lights when they told us to get on the ground, my sister had to pull me onto the ground. They made us stay in a corner of the room, guns still pointed at us.
We are Muslim and my sister was barely covered, so on top of having a gun to her and her baby sisters face. She felt so expposed, thankfully I hadn't changed from school so I could at least give here my sweater so she could cover herself. Eventually I had to use the bathroom, and they allowed me to go following me the whole time.
My sister had some clothes in the bathroom so when I came out with the clothes they searched them and me. My sister freaking out about it the whole time, fearing they might kill me for trying to keep her modest.
Eventually they moved us to the living room, our stepfather was handcuffed on the ground, guns pointing at him. My sister sobbing as she made me turn away. My mother was pulled from her job at the hospital and brought back to the house.
They accused us as being terrorists when we were nothing more then a family scared of being killed by the people who were ment to protect us.
The reason behind all this was because our cable guy thought he found bombs under our house when he had to check on something.
That's right because some cable guy thought that our mosquito repelling candles were bombs, my sister, step father and I were almost killed in our own home.
That's all I have say.
That's rough, hope your sister gets better.
it's been eight years, thankfully she got help when the nightmares were super bab early on
I'm sorry that happened, my man.
It’s amazing how people that are meant to protect the innocent can hurt them instead..
That’s terrifying I’m so sorry. I hope both of you are ok. Not to mention your mom and stepdad.
Maybe he mentions it in the full episode, but I wished he stated that after they go to the wrong place and do all this damage they aren't accountable to pay for any of the damage done.
Wrong they dont pull it out of there pockets but 1 they commonly dont. Brake stuff besides the door if NEEDED but if your innocent you be given compensation
@@bullishgroup8304 Not through the police department, it goes through city and only if they determine there was wrong doing. BTW it may be just a door to you (even with costs) but the PSYCH damage done is never compensated for. It is traumatizing.
@@vvkingavv if police wore acting in good faith they have no reason
@@brucenadeau1280 Good faith to correct address, maybe fine. Though why should an innocent party be set back so harshly for doing nothing? So this can be a bit circumstantial on how the police were acting on good faith. However, totally different if they were suppose to go to apt 123 and instead bust into apt 132. They should be paying everything back.
Bruce Nadeau evil deeds with good intentions are the worst evils in the world.
remember when movies and tv shows are like " we need to get that warrant from judge!!! " "ughhh, we will never get it on time!! "
"We need that warrant from the judge, Go down the street to a payphone and call in saying he's killing his family."
It's almost like the movies and TV shows are designed to get people to want to cut out the red tape so cops can act faster. Which, if successful, would mean cops need less probable cause to raid a place. Which makes it easier to target minorities and political dissidents.
Now they have a warrant app on their phone. Takes about a minute to fill out and automated approval in 30 sec. to 2 minutes 96% of the time. I just made that up, but I'm expecting it any day now.
@@NickRoman you not wrong.
@@NickRoman No, but cops often have system in their car that lets them file for and get a warrant quickly, within a few minutes. It's original use is to get a blood test for a drunk driver, but today, as you guessed, is used for a bit more than just that.
In their defense, SWAT teams are super convenient when running a dictatorship.
Like Venezuela or Putin’s Russia?
@James G _"For you maybe"_ -- You get that the OP was sarcasm, don't you? Don't worry, that was a rhetorical question. You clearly aren't bright enough to get that.
This makes me want to run for presidency!
@@louleetah American's literally cannot contemplate America being bad in and of itself. If America does something bad, it is bad because it is like "those other countries way over there!"
I wish they mentioned the ridiculous fact that if they SWAT the wrong house they usually don’t have to pay for the property damage that may have caused.
Actually yes they do. A claim if filed through the city and it comes out of an insurance fund. Not to mention it’s an easy civil case to win.
Just the fact they could break into the wrong place would inflict so much trauma to innocent people with no reprecutions.
@@androgynouslibra7607this is so true, my ex in Jamaica got swatted and the psychological trauma from that still affected her to the present day in that she has a huge distrust for the police and I don’t blame her, I do as well
Kicks Down door throws flashbangs wonders why dog is freaking out and shoots the dog. That's a no knock Warrant in a nut shell.
Flashbang Thrown into the babies crib
and the flashbang lands in a baby's crib and goes off on the kid's chest. And yes, it's happened.
Be happy if only the dog gets shot.
@@Carewolf if they shoot the dog, there's no mercy from me. shoot the groin to bring them down and then finish them off when they're on the ground
@@killer13324 Yeah, and that is another way people get killed in SWAT raids. While fighting back against the home invaders.
4:16 Most shows: Make graphs look like they show a 200% increase while the number was actually 20%
Adam ruins everything: Makes the graph show a 100% increase while its actually more like 2,600%
Hahahaha that's why we love him
i noticed that too! Actually a little unusual for Adam! That number was INSANE!
Exactly That's why the show is so good. Even when it's a lot worse. Sometimes they even downplay it and try not to make people freak out.
2,666.6% to be more specific
Was it logarithmic?
The tactics that were described in this video were the same tactics and circumstances that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor. She was a health-care worker that was killed in her bed, on March 13, 2020, when the police raided her home in the night in pursuit of someone who did not even live there.
#SayHerName
@@justacat.1428 That's not exactly true. The protests are about everyone who was hurt/killed due to police brutality.
Well if I remember correctly, they had a no knock warrent and the boyfriend had a registered gun, which he used, thinking people were breaking in. I believe they thought it was another person breyana taylor was associated with who was dealing drugs and armed. It was a mixup, and there was no foul play.
Isaac Tanaka no knock warrants are now illegal in Breonna’s town because of her death. Her killers got in trouble for bullets that ended up in a different apartment. But they didn’t have any legal trouble when they literally shot a woman.
there was no "wrong house" they have photo evidence by investigators of the dealer at her apartment
thats false to, there protesting the death of thugs, very few blacks mentioned in saytherename were innocent
Glad that people now are talking a stance against this now.
That drug bust wasn’t accurate, the cop would have still claimed it was crack
We have drug test kits.....
Like the cop would admit to an error.
J White they don’t use drug kits if your a minority
The cop would have planted it there in the first place
@@simoneidson21 so when the evidence is sent to the state crime lab...they just forge that too eh?
If the swat team swats the wrong house or destroys someone’s property or kills someone etc it should be considered a crime and the police have to pay the victim money
It's called civil court and it does happen. I mean hell they'll pay the family of a woman who died shooting at police.
qualified immunity
Except the neet part is they don't 😃
That sounds reasonable… which is why it barely happens.
Don't get the right apartment...yeah sounds about right. Breonna Taylor's case rings so true to this. :(
“The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged.”
-George Carlin
“The game was rigged from the startl
I wonder if the police have to pay for any damage caused to property
Nope. It's called "force majeure". So long as it is determined that law enforcement acted in good faith. And it *always* is.
If you can prove that it was unneeded, you can. My bfs friends house got raided, don’t know why, I think they had the wrong house. They completely destroyed the front door. Took him months before he saw any money from the city to help cover the cost of replacing it.
nowdays police do whatever the hell they want
@@MonstobLee "Nowadays"? Pretty sure this is how it's always been.
Alot of time they dont destroy anything the worst is if they break the door and that only when they have a real purpose doing it liek if some one call cus so and so is being killed and when they get there they hear some one scream
And if it wus false commonly your get something for the troubles
And if they come inside the house they wont distroy the place they might leave it a mess but they try not to destroy anything if they domt have to cus they are normal people to wham there not working amd cus of legal reasons
I got swated once ( some one made a fake phone number and put it as are home) amd they had a few people looking aroumd are yard and 3 of them banged on the door it took me 3 mins to wake up and tell my family they they waited and they acted nice and understamding even as my dad open the door and then RAN from them to turn the alarm off
There not there to kill or distroy but to make sure they can save lives and stop crimes
I'm reminded of Batman: Year 1, and how the SWAT team were among the villains; felt unusual to me, but I knew there was a reason for it.
Totally different those swat teams are corrupt and basically working for the mobs and villians. This is completely different.
@@darl5104 In this case, it's not the SWAT who are the villians, but their bosses and bosses bosses who get the equipment and need it to be used to keep it.
@@Sir_Budginton yeah possibly
@@darl5104 They are working for "mobs and villains"? So basically, the US government?
@@cometmoon4485 I was talking about Batman
Pre-Breonna Taylor. Adam warned us. Share for Breonna.
I've never experienced a swat raid, if you ask me swat should only be used for KNOWN CRIMINAL HIDEOUTS. and regular cops should have a regular pistol, MAYBE a handgun resistant vest, and comms and stuff
maybe a vest? why only maybe? you have how many rifles in the us and allow slug round shotguns and you think handgun rated bodyarmour is a maybe?
and cool so next time theres a shooter you want cops to get in real close to the shooter to make pistol a viable threat stopping force? or do you think every pistol shooter can hit a nickel from 400 yards
or shall we wait for the swat?
maybe you can help out by counting how many civilians died whilst we wait for not only police to arrive but for a backup swat unit to arrive with the rifles capable of handeling the threat and you can inform the widdows of the police officers you killed by ill equipping them for the actual and real threats they face
what your describing already happened in la the police only had pistols and had to run to a gunstore to get better guns to finally end the situation this not only lead to cops getting better weapons but led to the creation of swat
I saw Adam on the subway once and I wanted to say hi and tell him how much I appreciate his work but there was already a bunch of people bothering him and I didn’t want to be another one of those people. ☹️LOL
He'd probably ruin it anyway.
He was thinking of how to ruin the subway

there was this youtuber called DAgames that made a viral bendy song and a as good 2nd song for chapter 2 so when chapter 3 came out and there was no song his toxic fanbase called the swats, thankfully nothing to bad happened, but that youtuber has a lot of hate even from his so called "fans".
There is absolutely no excuse for making a fabricated call to the police asking for an unneeded SWAT team
Seppos. Calling cops on people in the hope of witnessing a murder. The American Dream, killing someone without any actual blood on your hands. Kids in cages make so much sense now.
Except there was an excuse. An excuse to start a crapstorm in front of thousands of viewers. Thank God some of these idiots that Swatted have gotten arrested.
@@julesmasseffectmusic It's sad but true, especially kids in cages. People seem to get off on seeing minority children abused and killed. Think I'm lying? How come not 1 person has came forward to try to stop it? Easy, "it's not my kid, I couldn't care less" or "oh no a minority, so what, kill em". This country is twisted now and more perverse than ever.
How are any of these psychos allowed internet access
In 2018 a guy here in Wichita,Kansas died due to swatting. It's a shitty thing to due but people do it anyway
You forgot to cover the most important topic: Why is this being allowed to happen? Answer: Because the American people have become too complacent to hold their government and representatives accountable. This HAS to change.
has become? Us used to encourage the FBI and the CIA to make certain governments use versions of them and like them when the FBI and the CIA got hold of political power in another country or territory .. its just balancing out what hadn't been balanced
In conclusion: the code of conduct in SWAT raids need to be updated because of hooligans making prank calls and possible misinformation.
Side note: if the call was purposely prank, fine the sucker that called for reparations. If they're not using a stolen phone or something anyway.
Do you know how easy it is to set up a free VOIP number? If I wanted too, all I need to do is set up enable a VPN, create a virtual machine, and in that VM, a burner email, call up a local PD and give them false information of a hostage situation, or some other thing that often gets a SWAT response, and once that's done, delete the VM.
Also, everyone who SWATs should be tried as an adult on the charge of murder/attempted murder in the first degree. Just because you didn't ultimately pull the trigger doesn't mean your innocent. If I, as your mob boss, where to tell you to kill a random pedestrian, and you follow through on it, both you and I are guilty of murder.
@@ZeldagigafanMatthew Yep totally agree they should. It's also why if your partner-in-crime dies during a robbery you can get charged for murder regardless of how he died.
@@GANTZ100pts As long as we are being technical here, that's a separate crime called Felony Murder.

@@FuckFascistRUclips "We need gun to fight government if they went rouge" "Support the troops keep, raising our bloated military budget so they have the most advanced weaponry" The chance are this 2 conflicting idea are supported by the same group of people. Or as 1984 put it doublethink.
@@diazekoramafirdaus3397 Still better than "We don't need guns so we should take them all away, or at least all the big scary ones (that actually are barely used in shootings)". Sure, we should support the military. Sure, they do have better machinery than we would in a fight. But there are strength in numbers, and we'd outnumber them hilariously. Also that's just one part of it - there are plenty of other reasons to own guns.

Hi... Victim of Swatting. The cops broke into my house thinking it was empty because the main cars werent there when in really i was sleeping and my stepdad was recovery from surgery.
At least it's not-
**Door knocking** "FBI OPEN UP!"

To be fair to them. I can totally see why it would be hard to find the right door when the numbering system goes 3-6-7.. 2:55
There was one case where the person who was swat-ed, which wasn’t even the intended target but a false address, where they were told just the right things where walking out with his hands in the air with a lighter got him killed

@@shallfrisch1 TLDR - If you don't like being called a bootlicker then stop licking boots. Seems pretty simple to me.
Don't defend those who would oppress you and your fellows to ensure their own safety.
If you have a response to my position, preferably one with support from research and credible sourced, I am willing to be enlightened.
Otherwise, I think it is you who is bringing nothing to the table by professing blind loyalty to a system that doesn't defend you or protect you as much as it undermines your liberties, and labels those who do not bow down before them as enemies of the state.
Don't bow before those who abuse their power, nor should you bow towards the enforcers of a system that would label either of us dangerous if we would question the rule of the boot.
@@normalin1stofhisname actually, most police officers are peaceful, but vigilant. You only find a bad cop or two per precinct, and those guys give the good ones a bad rep. One bad apple ruins the bunch, or, as I like to say, "one bad cop makes the media label all cops as violent, racist, islamophobic murderers."
The graph at the end is misleading, though. It makes it seem as if the difference between the two is a lot smaller than it really is.
Seriously, 80k is almost 30 times bigger than 3k, not just 2 and a half.
And then there'll still be people who still do not see why we want to divert a sizable portion of the police budgets to community projects

Man..
Mr Conover was proven right, yet a-gain.
Continue “weeping for humanity”, an ideal which is so fanciful to exist by any notable stretch.
Well, this aged well.
This is way worse after what happened to Breonna Taylor
Correct me if I’m wrong but according to Donut Operator the grenade launchers provided are used to launch tear gas
they should be but if something can be used to launch other kinds of grenades that are in the arsenal then it will be used
Even if it launched kittens the fact that it COULD launch grenades means they shouldn't have it
@@lewisfraser4153 Police cars CAN run people over, that means they shouldn't be used.
Best thing about no-knock raids at the wrong address? In the best-case scenario where no one is hurt, insurance doesn't cover "police actions", and the city won't pay bc it was a "legitimate act." Guess who's stuck with the bill?
First time I saw a swat team I was scared ... turns out that if you live writhing walking distance from LSU you are bound to see them get ready for a raid a few times and it doesn't matter how expensive or cheap your complex is.
Found out a week after that they were looking for some bro apartment suspected of having weed.
The reason they have grenade launchers is for shooting CS gas (tear gas) and Mine resistant ambush vehicles (MRAPs) are used for cover because your standard police car doesn’t stop any bullets no matter where you are.
yep and people too stupid too realize how biased this show sometimes. mine resistant does not mean only stop mine but bullet too but well no head just being mindless
Also 40mm rotaries are used for non lethal rounds ie bean bags.
The fact was that it wasn't about lethality, but rather the fact that these teams often work in CQC environments, and often with innocent bystanders, and they are using MILITARY grade equipment. Do you really think that using something other than the standard rifle, handgun and non-lethal grenades is not enough? And for the mine-proof vehicles, there's still a thing called bulletproof armour plated vehicles. Use that instead of a literal tank.
The Teuton King The reason that some police get them is because the department of defense can give away MRAPs to police for free or heavily discounted.
@Finn Carlson I'm referring to mines, not bullets. I'm fine with armoured vans capable of withstanding bullets, but a literal APC or MBT that can take a landmine is insane.
Aged like fine wine
A SWAT team is like a shotgun, not accurate, but they are powerful.
And the situations that SWAT is typically called into are like seeing a spider on the wall. You don't need a shotgun for a spider. Unless you're Australian. Those huntsman fuckers can die in a fire.
hey That Teddy Bear was reaching for a weapon!
The us is a scary place.
I don't even want to visit.
as an american, let me just tell you, DON'T. this country is in a stagnant state, our government is corrupt, its hard to make money, corporations are buying everything from politicians to bankers, education sucks, and our military is more of a tool than it is a valiant force to protect our country. so yeah, you don't want to come here. my advice, go visit canada, sure its cold there, but its the best and safest place to visit right now as far as i know.
We are on the verge of being a police state/dictatorship so I would not come here either.
Actually it’s not that bad as those 2 made it out to be, we have our problems just like any other country. Yes there are a lot of things wrong, but you have to look at the bright side in life. I’m proud to live in America! And I have hope for a better future

Step 1: require identification from the caller. Use this time to triangulate the caller.
Step 2: in case of Swatting, pin a crime on the caller, such as harassment and misuse of emergency response. Also, add the inhabitant to a Swatting list alongside a passive means of checking their location (such as a Twitch stream).
Step 3: In case of repeat Swatting, first check the passive check (Twitch). If none is available, send an officer or recon unit to survey the scene. They can call it in if they find evidence of SWAT-required intervention.
Step 4 trace the call just incase
"FBI open up! Uh, we got a noise complaint from your neighbours, they asked if you could turn the music down a bit, thanks."
Also, 3:40 super misleading the vehicles “happen” to be mine resistant, however are just lightly armored vehicles necessary to protect against active shooters
They military surplus donated to police in place Being junked
I mean 10k for a police car or 8k for an Bullet proof suv, I’m taking the MRAP
when do you ever see military in active shootings anyway?
They usually just stand behind mine resistant vehicles for cover. They’d rather have something built to withstand mines than nothing at all for cover. Especially for free or reduced prices
My cousin locked himself in his house with a gun, my aunt called the police and they brought in the swat team for a suicidal person! They burst her door down and caused all kinds of havoc! They even put it in the paper as if it was some kind of big news. My aunt wished she didn’t call the cops. It was awful.
1:35 Breonna Taylor would like a word...
Edit: scratch that this whole clip is basically what happened to Breonna Taylor
(The cops still have yet to be arrested)
Man its interesting that this episode is so close to the riots.
This was posted September 2019. way before the riots and even aired on TV months before that.
This isn't ruining..

Haven’t watched Adam for a long time and today right after i lost a 5 star level in GTA and decided to take a break I watch this. Is content tailored to minds now?
Matt Shively! It is good to see him.
2:21 This is exactly what happened to poor Breonna Taylor. May she rest in peace. I highly doubt if she'll ever get justice.

My small Virginia college police department was issued assault rifles; military surplus. We could see them sitting in the police office. No one (including the cops) could figure out what the heck those were supposed to be used for. I even heard a rumor they had a light machine gun of some kind tucked away somewhere...
Okay, I did seriously start burst out laughing at the slaughtered teddy though. 2:19
Look they really hated Ted okay. Tbf I dont blame them.
Remember the movie "Escape from New York" where it was predicted that in the near future the police would be "more like an army"? John Carpenter nailed it!
Remember the other one, "every sci fi movie ever"
Same deal.
1984 was suppose to wsrn us, not be used as a guide.
The “mine resistant vehicles” are used by SWAT because they get huge discounts off them. They use them because it’s better to be shot at behind 4 inches of armor than a regular car.
True. But how often are they ACTUALLY shot at?
@@666Vampirefromhell while in a vehicle? not often I'd imagine

thank you adam, i respect your opinion on life or death situations

When it comes to police data it's hard to find anything current because they do their best to lock information down. It's probably the best they could get

Im glad im from canada. The police are so nice here, we now have police cars with pink writing on them that says "say no to bullying" not a joke. I was fined for carrying open alcohol in public and then the police officer was like "so do you need a ride to your place?" Us canadians are just chilling up here
Me: Lining up as a refugee to Canada.
@@LeonardLuzon do it its so much better then america. Health care is more affordable, theres less shootings, we dont sue each other very much, we arent involved in (no offense) stupid wars.
our food and drug regulations are better.
theres some somewhat unsafe products in the usa more so then canada, although canadas regulations are not as strict as europe. Europe has banned flouride (carcinogen, lowers i.q) from water in some places for example but canada has not. We also still do use dangerous pesticides and other things we should probably be more careful with like europe, but its an upgrade from the american regulations.
If you're unemployed you receive a small amount of free money from the govermment to help out a bit. A few hundred a year. Not much but its nice that people care enough to do that. Meds are free for anyone under 24 in order to help students. Canada is not a utopia though. Our education is terrible, like seriously terrible but its at least better then america in that way.
@@LeonardLuzon i feel like i just shat all over the USA but i think the negative sides of the USA is a problem with the american government and not so much with the every day citizens. I dont know much about government so i cant comment too much on that but i think we can all agree, the actions of the government and media as well dont represent the views of the american people
Ummmm you know Canada has been involved in almost every was the US has been involved in.

Nuuuu!!

It's a shame that didn't talk about the swatting that happened last year
This aged so well
2:18 lmao
Imo it's better to have many false alarms than to let an actual emergency be blown off as a prank.
the mine resistant vehicle is also bullet resistant so when banks get robbed by high power weponry cops can hide behinde a vehicle that isnt a soft target.
or yall could just not sell high powered weaponry to the public

You know Impractical Jokers and Carbanaro did a crossover, they should each do a crossover with Adam. That'd be the funniest, Adam ruins Impractical Jokers and Adam ruins the Carbanaro Effect.
Adam should ruin the Little Mermaid. Ariel has so much interest about humans. She argues with her dad that humans are not barbarians which we actually are. Adam appears as a fish or merman in front of Ariel and King Triton and tells them what humans have been doing to the ocean. Ariel's dreams get ruined and doesn't want to be part of our world anymore.
Wouldn't that be something?
