Theyre bogus 911 calls with real consequences and public figures or celebrities are often the victims.
This week, 18-year-old activist David Hogg in Parkland and fellow #NeverAgain student leader Cameron Kasky in West Delray were targeted by swatting calls, according to authorities in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Named after the response by police SWAT squads who respond to the calls, false 911 callers often describe emergencies involving barricaded gunmen or hostages in an attempt to draw heavily-armed officers. These fake 911 callers often spoof a victims phone, making it appear as though the victim is placing the emergency call.

My hope is that whoever it is that made these phone calls is themselves registered to vote and that they participate in the democratic process in the way it was intended, that they go to the ballot box and that they encourage other people, Kasky said. Whether they agree with what the students are doing or not, they should go out and vote. Thats what these people should do.
Whaaaaaat????? He hopes the perp is registered to vote so he can go out and vote? That's it? No anger about being Swatted only concern that the creep who caused the Swatting can vote?
BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!!!
These people are clueless on so many levels.
They got a taste of what they advocate for millions of Americans to go through. I think it’s hilarious.
The father is an idiot, so it was not surprising the son is more of a moron.
Theories:
1) The “NeverAgainers” pizzed off the wrong people.
2) The “NeverAgainers” knew they were fading on the radar and needed to create a new crisis.
They’re Alinskyites. I choose the second.
At the risk of stating the obvious, swatting wouldn’t be possible without geeked up police units and gormless 911 operators dispatching them without properly verifying the claims.
While I detest scum like Hogg and Kasky with every bone in my body and wouldn’t **** on them if they were on fire, SWATting is a cowardly action that needlessly puts our nation’s law enforcement in harm’s way.
I would agree I think they’re doing it themselves or they’re having someone do it just to keep themselves in the media’s attention
If it’s in Law Enforcement and it’s in a helmet, if it’s not on a motorcycle, it’s an enemy of the people.
I suspect they called the popo on themselves. Just a gut feeling.
Cyberbullying’s chilling trend: Teens anonymously target themselves online, study finds

Leftists are notorious for swatting. The Speedway Bomber and friends come to mind.
And not only was Hogg not home but Kasky wasnt home either. In fact nobody in their respective families were home. This is a hoax event. It would not surprise in the least if the BCSO was in on it.
The question become....how long will it take the authorities to determine that the two swatting episodes were hoaxes staged by the miscreants themselves?
In many communities the 911 operators are just following a script.
Sue the scriptwriters.
Because in today’s culture, victimhood ennobles you. A lot of kids will seek that out.
You are 100% correct. This crime will magically never be solved, unlike 98% of all other Swattings.
The calls were made by the friends of Piggy boy and his prom date. It’s to keep “the boys” in the news and now, make them even more of a “victim”.
“Whaaaaaat????? He hopes the perp is registered to vote so he can go out and vote?”
I suspect misdirection. Dad Knows or fears the kids or their friends had something to do with it so throw the blame onto some anonymous potential voter.
