Swatting—an increasingly dangerous and politically motivated tactic—is being weaponized against conservatives, and nationally syndicated talk show host Joe Pags is the latest victim. Swatting is the act of making a false emergency call, typically claiming a violent crime is in progress, to provoke an armed police response at an unsuspecting person’s home. These incidents have led to tragic outcomes, with victims facing heavily armed SWAT teams at their door, sometimes resulting in injury or even death.
At 2:35 AM on Wednesday March 12th, Pags was alerted by a security notification on his phone. Checking his outdoor camera, he saw a chilling sight—an armed man at his front door. In that moment, his adrenaline kicked in. Thinking quickly, he called 911, where the operator confirmed his fears—someone had made a fake report, triggering the heavy police response.

The Left is undermining the will of the People. I believe the Nazi Brown Shirts did very similar things in the 1930’s. The Left has given a rise to Fascism. They are the Fascists.
Adam Shroyer from INFOWARS just got swatted last night.
THIS CRAP is ATTEMPTED MURDER!! I have NOT HEARD ONE WORD ABOUT ANY ARRESTS!!
10 YEARS in prison if you are convicted of swatting innocent people...
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL!!
I heard Juanita Broaddrick was also recently swatted.
like he said- the maggots who are doing the swatting are hoping that the person being investigated by the cops will shoot a cop and then get killed themselves- swatting is attempted murder and should be treated as such!
It seems all cops need is an anonymous phone call to turn into Seal-Team Six wannabes playing like they are in Fallujah
Are they this stupid?
Yet ANOTHER dire consequence of the 60 year creeping progressive-left federalization of local police. George Bush and his Patriot Act / DHS created the apparatus and the marxists Obama/Holder turned it into overdrive
While Bondi/Patel can, from the top, try to limit it - the real answer is radical decentralization of local policing.
We need legislation mandating the death penalty for swatting.
Well, they can’t find the perps- but by golly the biden admin could find jan 6 protestors even if they wore masks by comparing their earlobes to online photos of folks on conservative sites and other similar methods it is claimed-
If only the government had some way to track, record and investigate phone calls or track VOIP routing.
Hmmm. Too bad the vast US surveillance state has never developed such software.....
Pags...Shroyer...Broaddrick...Mr. Patel and Ms. Bondi...where are the arrests?
Beginning to think SWAT victims should be compensated 10K on the spot out of the responding LE budget. Knowing the targets will receive money could end this practice. Additionally, LE will have a 10K reason to go after the caller.
You need to remember that these are the same people who forced themselves into serving warrants for traffic tickets.
Because they felt that they were not being "used" enough and could have their funding cut.
Since then the interactions between the police and the public have taken a more violent turn.
They are not stupid, they just do not care.
They don’t WANT to find them!!
exactly!
Anyone initiating or participating in these types of actions ought to be charged with terrorism.
It won’t stop the leftists doing it. Jail time for the perps will, though.
It might stop LE from wildly reacting. LE will have an incentive to function properly.
