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.

Pick Your Poison
What would it take for Swatters to stop targeting politicians like Taylor Greene? Presumably, if she were to step down from office and withdraw from the public eye, these attempted attacks would cease. So what is it that we call people or groups that insist on silence under fear of potential death? For all the talk of “civility” and “unity” in modern politics and the halls of media, it seems that swatting is neither regarded as terrorism nor attempted murder.
One might wonder what moral malaise is infecting the nation when people consider murder by proxy a legitimate form of political protest. It seems that a “by any means necessary” mantra has become the guiding light for sick individuals intent on harm; calling it “swatting” instead of what it really is provides a thin veneer to those who put innocent lives at risk and yet still consider themselves on the side of right.
Commentary:
Oddly, the same crowd who is anti-gun has NO problem with falsely sending the guns of the Regime after you.
Eventually someone is going to be killed by the police and who pay the piper?
There should be severe penalties for "Swatting." Are there?
To find out who's doing this is an easy task. Note how fast and efficiently the Federal Government identified, arrested, and incarcerated the peaceful protesters of January 6, 2021.
Republican reps Marjorie Taylor Greene and Brandon Williams were targeted by "swatting" calls on Christmas Day, resulting in police presence being called to their homes.
