Teenage Terror: The Dark Rise of Violence-as-a-Service Rings
The FBI warns that the IRL Com, a subgroup of The Com, is recruiting youth for violent crimes, making it a growing threat. Forget Fortnite, these kids are leveling up in real-life villainy, from swatting to contract hits. It’s like a summer camp for supervillains, but with fewer marshmallows and more mayhem.
Hot Take:
Who knew crime could be a teenage after-school activity? The Com is turning the internet into a real-life episode of “Breaking Bad Meets Home Alone.” But instead of Kevin McCallister, we have Kevin McCalli-criminals, organized enough to make even the most seasoned mobsters blush. Someone better tell these young hooligans that “swatting” isn’t just a term for what you do to a fly.
Key Points:
- The Com’s subset, IRL Com, is recruiting minors for real-life violent crimes.
- FBI and UK National Crime Agency have issued warnings about this trend.
- IRL Com offers services like swatting and violence-for-hire.
- Members are mostly teenage boys, often recruited via social media.
- Recent arrests in Europe highlight the growing problem.
