Destiny also had a debate with [[Pisco]] on the ethics of Destiny's plan to kill the DDoS kid if the attacks continued.

Destiny argued that he had exhausted all legal means to deter the DDoS kid from continuing the DDoS attacks including speaking to his parents and the {{wiki|FBI||.}}

Pisco argued that law has a purpose, and that self-remedies may not always be immediately available and that it is within a societies' best interest to defer to people in the legal system to resolve these remedies to avoid violence.

=== Decoding the Gurus ===

On [[Decoding the Gurus]], the two hosts (Matt and Chris) discuss the situation and ask Destiny if he still takes as strong of a stance on the DDoS kid as he did back then. Destiny attempts to contextualize the situation that he was in that lead him to contemplate such an option, listing the recent birth of his son and having to pay for two separate residences while relying on the paltry earnings during the early years of streaming in 2011. Destiny states that he thinks property can be worth a life.
