Hard to track, but I bet some cyber sleuthing could figure it out. Those 4 chan peeps found out where Shia Lebeuf planted that flag....
Didn’t the police figure out it was a hoax the SECOND time?
The suicide chat line that was used could not get a location due to the person(s) using a VPN.”
This is an Straight up LIE, see SIlk Road
And a fine use of their time it was, at that.
I'm sure their parents are proud.
Looks real good on a resume'.
Yep, it's traceable if it's a suicide chat line even using vpn.
Guess they’ll have to start calling MTG house to see if the family is OK before sending out the police and wasting their time........sheesh!!!
Will the police fall for this seven times in a week?
Let me get this straight: Truth Social, and my outgoing email provider won’t let me use a VPN, but a suicide crisis center will. OK. Sounds fair.
If it’s a trans activist then the person is insane. However, I don’t accept the insanity defense.
How can they make the same mistake twice? Especially a member of the House?
Its very simple : The SWAT SHOULD NOT respond to calls about MTG’s house from phones behind a VPN or masked in any way.
Its not that hard.
More victims of this sort of thing than we can ever know. Not only the person who is on the receiving end, but those who were able to get emergency help who truly needed it.
Evil.

Mentally ill “activist”?
“Swatted” or “Red-Flagged”, too often pretty much the same thing.
I know too many Red-Flag victims to be convinced otherwise.
Or those dastardly q-anon types. They’re pretty sneaky. So sneaky even the fbi can’t find the actual q-anon. Then again, they can’t figure out that antifa and #blm are more of a threat than all the alleged MVEs prowling the streets. Who knew? 🤡
Is there another one scheduled for tonight?
“UPDATE: Police report reveals trans activist committed second swatting....”
I scanned the article and failed to see anything that definitively shows how they know it was a “trans activist”.
Are they just assuming or do they know who it is?
If the VPN is hosted in the USA then they can get a court order to see the VPN logs. Otherwise, if the VPN is oversees, then that would require diplomatic agreements to see the internet packet origins. Not imposable, but yes, in this environment I would not be surprised if the Biden Gaystapo was protecting this “agent”.
Cyber sleuthing probably won’t get far past a VPN, unless they can social engineer their way into getting some info out of the VPN company. The authorities could issue a warrant to get the info from the VPN company, but smart people use VPNs based outside of US jurisdiction to avoid that very thing.
