"Hands up completely!": Ac7ionman gets swatted during IRL stream in Arizona

Kick creator Aaron "Ac7ionman" found himself the victim of swatting while streaming from an Airbnb in Arizona. The creator could be seen talking to his audience before hearing something outside the establishment. Upon asking if someone was "in front of the house," Aaron heard the voice of a police officer announcing their presence and asking him to open the door.

In response, Aaron made sure to let the officers know that he was the subject of swatting before opening the door. He also asked if he could open the door by foot while exclaiming that he felt frightened. He stated:

"Bro, who's in front of the house? Hello?... Yes, sir! Sir, I'm being swatted. Yes, sir, my hands are up. Can I open the door? Can I open the door? Okay, I'm going to open the door by foot. Is that okay? I'm opening the door by foot, sir. Sir, I'm scared. I'm opening the door by foot, sir... Yes, sir, hands up completely, should I stick them up?"

"What should I do?": Ac7ionman reacts after being swatted on livestream

To those uninitiated, swatting is a phenomenon where an individual, usually a viewer, places a false report against a streamer or creator. This ends up causing an emergency response from law enforcement against the blameless creator, which can be a life-threatening situation.

In this case, Ac7ionman could be seen stepping outside of the household before the officers made their entry inside. As officers made rounds of the condo, Aaron could be heard talking to officers outside. The creator seemed to be audibly stressed while conversing with officers, apologizing to them and stating that the encounter had frightened him. He stated:

"Holy sh**, so what should I do? What should I do?... I'm so sorry! You guys just scared the sh** out of me."

Later on, Ac7ionman put the camera to his chest to make sure the officers were not caught in the camera. He then walked away from the house to not bother the owner of the Airbnb. While strolling away, he simultaneously addressed his audience. Breathing heavily, the creator said:

"Alright, don't think I'm going to get the deposit back in that house... Wow, well, that was fun. Why do I got to get harrassed every where I go, bro?"

Ac7ionman had previously been subjected to a swatting on a live stream in January 2024. The creator was giving money to a homeless man, before being approached by police officers. Trying to de-escalate the situation, he clarified that he was a "famous YouTuber" and was just "making content".
