Not ‘harrassment’...attempted murder. The progressives are playing word games...again.

To: who knows what evil?

It’s not as if lawmakers haven’t known about this, it’s just that it hasn’t affected them until recently.

In 2017 there was a horribly sad case in Wichita, KS where a man was killed by the police who had been sent to his address by a swatter who was mad at a third party over a video game outcome in which he lost $1.50. The victim’s only crime was living in a house the instigator had been evicted from the previous year.

Subsequently, two different pieces of legislation have been introduced in Congress to try get a handle on this type of action, one died in a subcommittee and the other has just been laying in the subcommittee since 2019.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was swatted on Christmas Day.
Imagine that.
