I think the sentances for swatting are very harsh that being said when people get killed over a video game or someone not being able to be mature enough to play responsibly there is a price to pay, that being said if no one got hurt should probably be on a case by case basis and now that this has happened a few times you would think police would be more prepared for it thus leading to less accidents and less recourse needed, maybe perhaps some community service or a way lighter sentance would be more appropriate in my opinion 25 years in some cases for making a prank on someone thats extreme... cheers!

Think of it this way,
If I personally sent private mercenaries and bounty hunters to your house who were told that you and your family members were dangerous criminals armed with high-powered weapons, and they broke into your house and held your family at gunpoint in the middle of the night, what punishment do you believe would be appropriate?
Or, imagine that I broke into your house in the middle of the night with several of my friends, armed to the teeth, and held you and your family members at gunpoint. If nobody was permanently (physically) injured or killed, would you still consider that a "harmless prank"?
As a point of simple logic, try putting yourself in their shoes.
