The Hill ^ | 12/25/2023 | Jared Gans

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said someone reported a fake crime at her home on Monday, the latest in a series of apparent swatting incidents that have targeted her.

“I was just swatted. This is like the 8th time. On Christmas with my family here. My local police are the GREATEST and shouldn’t have to deal with this,” she said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Greene added that she appreciates the local police and her family is in “joyous spirits” c toelebrating Christmas.

Can’t law enforcement find the creeps doing this? I also read that Jack Posobiec’s parents were swatted the night before Christmas.

At some point you’d think the local officers would recognize the address and probably just assume the call was bull.

They thrive on punishing their enemies anyway they can. If Congresswoman Greene should be killed, so much the better and in their eyes it is justified.

Anyone who attempts to get someone SWATed should face attempted murder charges. Or murder if they are successful.

They can’t do that, especially with a public figure. They have to make sure whats going on. At least with a false swatting history they won’t assume true, and possibly go in and overreact.

The point is to discourage good people from even bothering to get involved in politics. It’s working.

The local department could EASILY meet with the public figure and set up a secret code word that meant all clear. And when a swatting came in, call MTG. If she gives the code word, send two men with balls in sport jackets to meet MTG at the door, who is there expecting them as arranged.

Nothing but an idiot charges in like gangbusters every single time. Same way, no changes. It’s also stupid because it makes the cops predictable ... you know, like for an IED.

“Eight times”?? GD Rats. (begging pardon for “GD” on Christmas day).

This is ALWAYS those GD leftists for whom the ends always justify the means. And their ends is the elimination of all normal, moral, God-fearing people.

At this point you have to assume ‘law enforcement’ is involved, showing up with itchy trigger fingers hoping someone looks at them the wrong way so they can start blasting away. Starting with the family dog of course.

They never seem all that upset about it. More disappointed that they didn't get a chance to use their newer toys. And hesitant to make policy changes to avoid such incidents in the future.
