DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on String of Swattings: We Will ‘Hunt These Cowards Down’ [More]
Careful, though– who knows what someone evil enough to do that is capable of. I’d think a special team and a surprise raid would be in order– for officer safety.
Late Monday night, Juanita Broaddrick, one of the women who claims President Bill Clinton raped her, says she was “swatted,” with 10 law-enforcement officers and a SWAT team coming to her home. [More]
And stupid American women will continue to vote for the party that only “believes women” if they’re non-binary, fetus-rending collectivists.
A teenager from Los Angeles County has been handed a four-year prison sentence after admitting to orchestrating over 375 “swatting calls” across the United States. [More]
A man from Wisconsin pleaded guilty on Thursday to reporting false emergencies to police in places like West Covina and Oxnard, then taunting officers using residences’ Ring cameras. [More]
The School Shootings Were Fake. The Terror Was Real [More]
And the FBI sat on information that could have stopped it.
This is a fascinating read– almost enough to make up for the author’s last one, although I can’t help but note this bit of unfamiliarity/overreaction:
Throughout the evening, he carried a loaded glock [sic] in a holster, a round in the chamber, no safety.
Horrors!
And I hate to keep bringing this up, but the last thing cowardly swatters want is meatspace exposure. And I have a feeling this sadistic little Torswat incel won’t remain a virgin much longer.
2 GOP lawmakers targeted in Christmas Day ‘swatting’ calls as police investigate -Reps Brandon Williams, Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X about bogus incidents [More]
They have the advantage of being known to local law enforcement as political leaders with enemies, so any police response is sure to factor that in.
The rest of us don’t have that advantage. I’m wondering if coming up with some kind of LE notification for the local police and sheriff would be feasible along the lines of telling them who you are, where you live, and why someone might want to do that to you, would be useful for them to have on record as a precaution against a military assault being their default setting, or if that wold be breaking the First Rule of Rights Club…
Accuracy in Media boss Adam Guillette was away from his North Florida home when he received a call from local authorities Friday notifying him that officers had searched his home around 1:30 a.m. after receiving a call falsely claiming that Guillette was at home and pointing a gun at his wife’s head. [More]
That two can play that game is the main reason why Doxing is a risky tactic.
Author Patrick Tomlinson and his wife, business owner Niki Robinson, have been “swatted” at their home in Milwaukee more than 40 times, often resulting in police pointing guns at their heads. Their tormentors have also called in false bomb threats to venues using their names in three states. Yet law enforcement hasn’t been able to stop the calls. [More]
That ought to be a life sentence for the Swatter with capital punishment if their target is killed.
I also find it encouraging to see one more example showing the state is not as omnipotent as we’re led to believe.
I wonder if any media are going to show up and grill them about this…
Be funny if someone released one of these… speaking of which, where’s the recording, to prove SWAT saw Jason pick it up and could tell that it was being carried before they lit him up…?
That leaves open the question of how police got the address wrong in the first place. What checklist procedures are in place to preclude an armed response and the assumptions that go with one until a positive identification has been established? Were those procedures followed? [More]
You don’t need to look very far to find plenty of headlines showing outrageously lethal raids like this happening again and again and again.
It also brings up fair questions about just how impartial any investigation can be without full disclosure of relationships between all parties involved in Klopefer’s shooting and subsequent actions. [More]
What assurances do we have that all personal and professional relationships have been disclosed and will not affect the outcome of the investigation?
Police dealing with more school ‘swatting’ calls in our region, across the country [More]
How is it they can track down who was wearing a damn panda mask on J6 but these evil and dangerous m***********s are getting away with this with seeming impunity?
And I’m wondering how many public floggings followed by hangings it would take to make this stop…
The Meridian Police Department has been made aware of multiple “active shooter” calls which have been reported across the State of Idaho. These calls have all been identified as hoaxes. [More]
What these actions don’t mitigate or excuse is the police opening fire on him immediately after he emerged unarmed from his trailer with his hands raised and his wife directly behind him. [More]
So will the State Bureau of Investigation and the DA aggressively pursue this, and if not, why not?
Aside from some good barbecued ribs, we don’t get all that many trends starting out in Kansas City…
In a way, especially with “burner phones” and TORFone, this seems like the type of terror threat that could be organizationally exploited, which I wouldn’t be surprised to find accounts for its rapid growth. Add in foreign enemies like Kim in North Korea or for Russia to retaliate for sending arms to Ukraine, and this looks like an “enemies foreign and domestic” dream tactic.
And let’s not forget those who benefit the most by creating a problem the public will demand only they can solve…
What should you do if you used a credit card to make a gun shop purchase and the feds come knocking at your door asking to see your hardware? You should ask to see their search warrant. They won’t have one, in which case you should politely say, “Have a good day” and close and lock your door. Then call your local police and report unwanted knocking on your door by an armed stranger. [More]
As fun as that sounds, I’m not sure I’d follow his advice. In the Delaware case, they came with a state trooper plus they showed badges, and “Only Ones” generally (admittedly not always) back each other up. If I were to do as he suggests, I’d make sure to add that they say they are law enforcement but do not have a warrant. And if I did call, it would probably be to the sheriff.
Whoopi called on American citizens to call the cops on their own neighbors and friends if their arsenal is “too big.” “Does your neighbor have too big an arsenal? Call the cops!” Whoopi shouted as she falsely claimed the 2nd Amendment doesn’t cover AR-15s. [More]
Punch Republicans and SWAT gun owners? I guess when you’ve given yourself so many abortions you need to wear undergaskets, blaming and hating others is the only way to keep from looking inward.
