Giving it a fresh new name doesn’t change what it is
On Christmas Day, police in Georgia were called and told by a man that he had just killed his girlfriend and that he was about to turn the gun on himself. He gave his address as that of Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. According to the congresswoman, this was perhaps the eighth time that law enforcement had been called to her family home with a similar hoax story.
By alerting police to an apparently highly violent situation, a caller prompts them to send SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) officers to a location. The purpose is to put the officers on guard and more likely to lead with their firearms. This practice is termed “swatting,” but such a catchy name distorts what heinous practice is truly taking place. This is clearly a method of targeted harassment, but could there also be a more nefarious motivation? It would not be going too far to suggest swatting could be a means of attempted murder by proxy.
The intention behind sending SWAT to someone’s home is – at the very least – to create a dangerous situation and, at worst, the hope that someone is killed during the event. And yet, somehow, such incidents are often dismissed as minor crimes.
The feds can find out who was on the grounds of the US Capital on Jan 6, but can’t figure out who is threatening a US Congressman.
If 1 democrat congressman or senator were swatted, the swat team would end up in the DC gulag with the J6 protesters.
The FBI has been called in to investigate MTG and her family. /s
Simple solution; find the perp, then find a rope and tree.
Should be a severe felony crime. Not only for attempted murder by cop, but you’d think law enforcdment would not like to be someone’s playtoy/b1tches.
ANSWER, BLM, Soros connected?
Not if you pick approved targets. Those would be persons in disfavor with the current rulers.
Nothing will happen to the perpetrators, because the government will make no real effort to find them. That is why this keeps happening.
On the other hand, somebody who swats a high-level Democrat or other unapproved target will get rolled up in a week and will get a long prison sentence.
Wait till they “Swat” Trump and The swat team shoots it out with secret service and kills Trump—such a “Terrible Mistake”. They will give Trump a beautiful funeral and a nice grave in Arlington. Three days of Mourning, lots of crocodile Tears, A Special on The Greatness of Trump (now that he’s dead). I can see it.
I haven’t followed stories about this despicable practice.
Do any of you know if any Leftists have been targets?
The Blue Bloods episode of Tom Selleck’s aide Garret and his wife getting “swatted” in the middle of the night and falsely accused was chilling.
Season 8, episode 4 —Out of the Blue.
This all began in 2008 with the ObamaBots.
