This story ties in eerily to the swatting death story ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16030838 ). If someone gets doxxed they can get swatted.

I sometimes hear people complain on political message boards with the common refrain "Why aren't people out in the streets protesting <insert controversial political thing>?" On the other hand, when people mess with the gaming community, such as what happened with the infamous GamerGate and the recent swatting business, their outrage and aggression is ridiculously large considering it's just gaming. Weird world we live in.

Do note the swatting death victim was not doxxed. The intended victim provided a different address where someone else died.
