"This is not a new thing, but it has been further weaponized beyond its own name. What used to be a call about your refrigerator running…down the street, then became a pizza you did not order, and now it is facing down the barrels of multiple guns, and always for no reason. The current version began as ‘dispute resolution’ in the gaming community then changed into what the alt-far-left MSM claimed were “pranks on celebrities” is now being used to terrorize and silence one side of the political spectrum, the Right, just as if the police were the other side’s own personal twitter with guns. Hey, didn’t they want to defund police in 2020? Hmmm…
The turn came starting in 2012 when someone decided..."

This is another level of control. Submit to the left or be silenced, maybe forever.
All it takes a few States to make swatting a Death Penalty offense, regardless of the outcome.
I think it would be relatively easy for the 911 folks to obtain the phone number, check who that number is assigned to, and if that person's address is nowhere near the place that is to be swatted, then the call can be ignored.
The phone companies need to be much more disciplined in handing out phone numbers as well, and set-up their systems so that phone number spoofing is impossible.
Lying excuse.
Call in a death threat to Peter Strzok, a Federal Judge, etc. Call in bomb threat to an airliner. Do it over a VPN. See if the FBI isn’t at your door later afternoon.
Like saying they can’t find Hillary’s emails. Every single one is in the NSA database and always has been.
I am confused about what the swat team did or didn’t so after they realized whose home they were directed to. And I understand the swat team was called out again the next night. Why would they even respond to the second night? They apparently knew the first call was a hoax!
And the police are willing conspirators to these murders started by swatting.
Simple solution: require some sort of verifiable ID. Then it stops.
The schools will likely cave as they lose funding if they don’t have students attending.
Opps - wrong thread
Leave it go on with life.

I don’t think the SWAT team did,I think it was a couple of officers the second time.
I just have this mental image of the same house being SWATted daily, like happened to Tim Pool. The same cop kicking down the same door and shooting the same dog...I guess the dog would have to be different...day after day. Must get tedious.
This has been my rant before, but if you control your living space it should be configured so that NO ONE can kick down your door and suddenly be in control of your home aiming guns at you and family.
Steel plate is wonderful stuff.
Harsh penalties which are never enforced are ineffective.
All it takes is to consistently track down the perpetrators and put them in prison.
The government does not do that because it is more work than they want to do. And besides, they don't really care as long as the perpetrators target their political opponents.
Someone who makes a swatting call against a prominent Democrat will be tracked down and arrested within hours.
