Jonathan Turley Spoke Out Against Swatting, and Then He Got Swatted
Red State ^ | 12/29/23 | Bonchie

Posted on 12/29/2023 4:58:10 PM PST by CFW

There is a full-scale war of intimidation being waged by the far-left, and it has targeted yet another prominent figure on the right.

Legal analyst Jonathan Turley was swatted on Friday according to Alan Henney, who reports on various crimes and police responses around Washington, D.C.

That follows the swatting of three Republican lawmakers since Christmas. Specifically, Sen. Rick Scott, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Rep. Brandon Williams all reported incidents. Jonathan Turley then spoke out against the trend, noting that a lack of prosecutions is leading to an increased number of swatting calls because there is no deterrent.

If someone experiences bodily harm from Fed-induced swatting, Ashley Babbitt might have ....

The writer, Bonchie, needs to research his subjects - Turley is hardly a conservative or right winger.

If this sort of thing started happening to Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray and Chuck Schumer, there would be an immediate crackdown on it.

I will never accept this behavior. My patience is wearing thin with these crazies.

Ashley Babbitt was murdered in cold blood.

Swatting is something different, I am waiting for the day when a swatting goes wrong and police officers are laid low.

Maybe then this BS will stop. jmho

>>All 911 calls are instantly traced…

In the case that was mentioned in post #9, it was an internet call with a spoofed number to appear to originate in the city/town that the cops killed the victim.

*My opinion is that the feds have the tools to trace these internet calls, but choose not to.

The left have become so emboldened because they know that there will be no punishment for their crimes.

If we had a competent FBI ... or one that wasn't corrupt... they could find out who was doing this.

They’re trying to bully and intimidate anyone who stands up to the Hyde Park Commies running this game. I wonder if the person making the calls has little cards - like trading cards - with names on them - - to target.

And Johnathan Turley? This is not a man to bully.

Turley’s a democrat, but he’s getting in the way of the Hyde Park commies attempting a coup.

They have computer programs that can make the calls, completely anonymous, hide the number or provide a bogus one and that’s it.

But it is all their own fault for reporting it.

After all if they had not said anything no one would know about it.

(completely ignore the fact that police blotters are public information and will be reported on)

“Turley is hardly a conservative or right winger.”

Turley is a libertarian, which makes it difficult to place him on a left-right or liberal-conservative spectrum.

Rent a lit up sign for the front yard. “Don’t SWAT me, bro”.

I am happy, though, that we have him and Alan Derschowitz vocalizing the wrongs of the Democrats.

The FBI will not stop this because they are in on it.
Obama politicized the federal law enforcement agencies.

Proceed at your own risk.

Well, Jonathan Turley is a fair legal mind but his party has morphed into the party of nasty and Marxism.

I saw that misapplied moniker and wondered who the Hell they were talking about. It caused me to not read the garbage.

Anyone paying even partial attention to politics since the disastrous clinton years, knows exactly who and what party Jonathan Turley associates with. Freakin’ moron content producer.
