I’m betting the harassers are from CWCki/Kiwi farms, especially since there’s linked article below it to other events where Canadians were targeted by them.
They are an insane harassment group that goes to any length to harm what they term lolcows or have decided are bad people.
If you are familiar with the name they started out with harassing Chris Chan “for the lulz” and have gotten increasingly aggressive over the years.
The cops are definitely at some degree of fault here though. Going to the same address multiple times in a day if the article is accurate and treating everyone like a serious hostage situation is crazy.
Kiwi farms allows/encourages mockery of these people, and collection of everything they've ever said/done online (which some might consider doxxing), but notably, they do not allow planning harassment. Maybe people read KF and coordinate with others to swat lolcows, but that coordination does not happen on KF.
If you've ever wondered why KF is still around, that's a big part of it. They're also completely compliant with US law.
