Obama and Holder need to be asked every single day why they are not investigating this new Leftist tactic.

I find it very telling that not 1 effing democrat signed on to this.
Must be because they approve of the practice. Damn them all to hell.

"Obama and Holder need to be asked every single day why they are not investigating this new Leftist tactic."

The calls originate from Administration proxies? Holder will only be interested in this if prominent leftists have been targeted by the callers. If the targets are conservative commentators or bloggers, then the harassment serves the Administration goal to curtail or shutdown conservative voices.

It is a good thing no one has been SHOT yet!

A bunch of police responding to a call like that are NOT the most level headed.... They have their own life they are afraid of losing, and think they are responding to a person that has already killed someone

When these calls come into 911 cannot they see that the call is coming from a different location than the address to where they are being dispatched?

That alone should tell them that something is fishy.

This horror happened to a good friend of mine who took on the city council of his corrupt little town in NJ. Someone made a false call that he had a dead body buried in his basement. Before you could say Jack Robinson, cops were on his roof with guns drawn. My friend has never recovered from this swat-ing. The perpetrator was not only never found, he was never investigated.

My old brain isn’t working very well, but there was a story on FR about some long-time radical leftist who is suspected of being behind many of these “swattings”. Why hasn’t he been arrested?

If your Congressman/woman has not signed this letter, it would be appropriate to ask them why.

I was disappointed that Rep Vern Buchanan (FL) had not signed. So I sent a quick email asking why.

We need to keep pressuring the GOP to get a spine.

Ah, I found it! The guy’s name is Brett Kimberlin, and conservatives who write about him find themselves the target of a “swatting”.

Did someone forget to publish the list of Democrats?

Oh...silence = consent, I guess. Democrat members of Con-gress APPROVE of the 'swatting' tactic.

Remove them in November.

The problem is not these prank phone calls. The problem is over the top use of military style SWAT teams on citizens. The fraudsters are just exploiting an obvious and dangerously lethal out of control Police tactic.

Let's be honest. SWAT teams have become nothing but a dangerous menace of society. Use of SWAT teams, military style uniforms, military weapons, and military tactics need to be outlawed.

Only the FBI needs such a unit and even then deployment should be strictly limited.

We had better get a handle on the police. They are far more dangerous today than any criminal element.

The simple solution is to get back to the old methods of being a public peace officer with a revolver, a radio, and a brain, and put an end to "Military Police".

More vile and outrageous conduct from the left. My prediction? Holder will do absolutely nothing about this.

No Dems supported the call because they know this is a liberal tactic, used only against conservatives.

Liberals have no values, thus, nothing to live up to.
Conservatives have values, thus, they are held to ridicule when they fall short.

This statement, taken out of context of course, could also apply to this post.

“It’s been a tough job. It is one that takes a lot out of you. Some raised concerns as to whether I was tough enough for this job. I think that people will hopefully see that I’ve done this job in a way that is consistent with our values.

Gee, we don't have eyes or ears? What a ^*#@#^

Values? Your definition of ‘values’ ain't worth squat.

This could happen to anyone. It’s truly frightening.

Why didn't even even a single 'Rat congresscritter sign this letter to Holder? You would have to suspect that SWAT-ing political opponents may be part of the Obama Administration's secret playbook, to be condoned by the Holder (In)Justice Department under certain circumstances. Such tactics, if winked at by government, are inconsistent with the First Amendment's protections of freedom of speech and press.

This is one more reason why the 'Rats have to be beaten soundly at the polls in November.

Furthermore, Erick Erickson might consider suing the local police department under the Civil Rights statutes of the US Code for violations of his and his family's federal constitutional rights.
