The latest tactic from our tolerant friends on the left.

Call 911, pretend to be someone you're not, give the name and address of your target and say there has been a shooting. The SWAT arrives and the target house is in lockdown mode for a couple of hours. Let the intimidation begin.

If you are lucky, all they will shoot is your family dog(s)

Did they shoot his dog, ransack his house, and point guns at their children?

My stepson works as a 911 calltaker in Florida. I thought that when a call comes in, the caller’s phone number appears on the calltaker’s screen.

You would think the 911 dispatcher would check the caller ID number with that of the residence at which the alleged shooting took place.

After several "SWAT-ings" police may take actual emergency calls less seriously, for which the Lefty pranksters will never be held responsible.

The left is truly desperate. We can look for it to get a lot worse. If it was not so dangerous it would be comical.

Anyone can spoof a phone number so you can call someone and have a phony caller ID listed. I don’t know if 911 has a way to determine if it’s a spoofed call.

Back in 2007, an eerily similar case was reported in which the individual initiating the SWATting could have spent up to 18 years in prison.

http://tinyurl.com/7togg5l

In that case, Randal Ellis was actually sentenced to three years in prison for phoning in a false 911 call that led authorities to swarm a Lake Forest house and handcuff innocent homeowners.

Pleading guilty to felonies including false imprisonment by violence and falsely reporting a crime, he also was ordered to pay $14,765 in restitution. Ellis was arrested after hacking into a telephone network and impersonating a caller from a Lake Forest home, saying that he had murdered someone in the house and was threatening to shoot others.

The Sheriff's Department dispatched a SWAT team and surrounded the home with dozens of officers, dogs and a helicopter. As the children of Stacey Cerwin-Bates and Doug Bates slept, Doug Bates thought he heard a prowler outside and grabbed a kitchen knife. When he entered the backyard, deputies armed with assault rifles confronted Bates and handcuffed him and then his wife until officers were able to determine that the report was fake.

Authorities spent more than six months tracking down Ellis. -via Christine Hanley LATimes March 27, 2008

I was unaware tha you can call 911 and block the phone number. That doesn’t sound right.

The obvious solution is to take the SWAT teams off of the Spring Loaded “ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK!!! - IF IT MOVES, SHOOT IT!” position.

If you look at all the hoops the military has to jump through, DURING A WAR, before launching an attack and compare that with the bozo SWAT teams who continually get the wrong house, kill the family dog, respond to false calls, etc. you wonder if we are headed to a ‘Police State” or a “Keystone Kops Kountry”?

Leftists are disgusting, low life,pond scum. They have no morals and the only thing they thrive on is hate. They are brain dead little communist trolls who don't have one clue how communism really works. Well it doesn't but they are too dumb to realize it.

Must be a coincidence that the people getting swatted were bloggers who wrote about Kimberlin.

Sheriff's Deputy told me someone had called from my number

How does that happen? If someone can forge a SIM card they can do a lot of damage.

I’d venture to say that in the lefty’s mind, the Conservative would notice an “intruder” and protect himself which would certainly result in return fire. With any luck, you’d have a dead Conservative and a dead Law Enforcment officer as well.

They’ll continue til someone phones in something similar of a liberal, and that liberal ends up arrested for having drugs in his possession.
