Parents of Conservative Reporter Jack Posobiec Swatted
The Gateway Pundit ^ | December 24, 2023 | Cristina Laila

My parents were just Swatted,” Jack Posobiec said in a post on X on Saturday afternoon. “Everyone is fine.”

“Law enforcement are fully involved and tracking down the perpetrator,”

Posobiec said.

"They told police that I had shot my parents and was threatening to shoot my family,” Posobiec said.

As The Post Millennial noted, Mediaite published a hit piece on Posobiec and Tim Pool before the swatting incident.

Mediaite reported: “Posobiec is unknown to 72% of Americans and even less popular to Republicans, 75% of whom don’t know who he is. The same is true of Pool; 69% of Americans and 74% of Republicans have never heard of him.”

Highly popular podcaster Tim Pool has also been swatted numerous times over the years.

Tim Pool was swatted while he was doing a livestream last year.

“Hey, the cops just walked in,” Tim Pool said.

“Somebody swatted us,” a co-host said.

Tim Pool explained to his audience that someone made a fake police report that there was an active shooter at his studio.

Two police officers burst into Pool’s studio and told him they received a call that two people had been shot and killed.

In the early 1930s we had a lot of kidnappings in the USA.

Following the fatal kidnap of Lindbergh’s baby, Congress made kidnapping a federal crime punished with the death penalty.

Perhaps the same approach for swatting?

” ... similar situation suggested the police could easily find out who did it. Not necessarily so. Also, the local police may not have the equipment of sophistication. 3-digit IQs. They’re police, not cyber security personal...”>

Unlike many European democracies, we have no national uniformed police.

In France (for example) the Gendarmarie would be involved in investigation, pursuit and arrest.

Apparently it’s less egregious to swat those who are unknown and unpopular.

"Someone on the thread talking about Margery Tailor Green and her family in a similar situation suggested the police could easily find out who did it."

I saw that thread...and MTG was very complimentary of the police. I remember thinking...just how much effort had the police put into finding the perps? I think she's been swatted 10-12 times?

Finding the perp would probably require, among other things, getting access to the phone company database and require the phone company to assist. While the Feds can do that because they control the certificates that allow companies to operate, generally, companies do not cooperate with local police. The company I worked for when one of the employees was murdered sent around an email instructing us to stone wall any questions. (I sent the email to the investigators along with the written company policy which said, essentially, the same thing.)

Bullcrap to argue that the local police are not cybercops. It violates an entire raft of Federal law involving telecommunications, terrorism, and threats against a sitting Congressman. The FBI has easy jurisdiction AND the technical capability to easily solve this. The locals and FBI would easily collaborate on this if it targeted any leftist politician or media personality.

They refuse.

Europe has no democracies that I am aware of.

It's weirder than you know.

Isaac Schorr is a Robert Novak Fellow who neoconned his way through National Review.

So this isn't a Mediaite libtard, this is a traitor Mediaite hired to make clickbait articles that probably incited this swatting.

This is also why Hillary’s emails are such a scam. The CIA/NSA has every single one and always has.

“Somewhat” should be “caused by spirit of antichrist” imo

Very accurate post, thanks!

“we have no national uniformed police.”

What about Federal Marshalls?

I agree that the spirit of antichrist moves in the world.

These behaviors may be manifestations of this.

“They must be able to catch these folks fairly easily.......if they choose to.”

They will choose to when someone in blue dies.

This is insane behavior.
