Rapper "The Game" won't face charges for tweeting Sheriff Dept's phone number in internship ad and causing fans to flood it with hundreds of calls for 3 hours
More here: Rapper The Game apologizes for tweet - latimes.comOn Friday evening, the Twitter feed for the Compton rapper sent out a message appearing to encourage his 580,000 followers to call the posted number for an internship. The tweet gave no indication that the phone number was in fact the official help line for the Sheriff's Department's Compton station. For almost three hours, the station's lines were jammed with hundreds of calls, blocking legitimate requests for help.
Many callers asked deputies for a "music internship." Others just hung up when they heard law enforcement on the line.
Initially sheriff's officials publicly said they would seek criminal charges and present a case to prosecutors. But legal experts doubted that the tweet could be proved to be criminal. They said prosecutors would have to show that the rapper sent the message himself, and intended to jam the station's lines.

He shut down comms. Should have been charged. But he's a celebrity so we can't mess with him.

I wonder if everyone who had an emergency but couldn't get through could sue his ass.

The SO should tweet his number so we can jam those lines telling how much his music sucks.
