Swatting hoax targets #NeverAgain activists (You Won't Believe the BIZARRE Reaction!!!)

They’re bogus 911 calls with real consequences— and public figures or celebrities are often the victims.

This week, 18-year-old activist David Hogg in Parkland and fellow #NeverAgain student leader Cameron Kasky in West Delray were targeted by swatting calls, according to authorities in Broward and Palm Beach counties.

Named after the response by police SWAT squads who respond to the calls, false 911 callers often describe emergencies involving barricaded gunmen or hostages in an attempt to draw heavily-armed officers. These fake 911 callers often spoof a victim’s phone, making it appear as though the victim is placing the emergency call.

The other weird thing is the elder Kasky uses the pronouns “themselves” and “they.”

First thought that I had. They made sure no one would be home.

Agree. Hogg’s dad is ex-fbi. Can’t imagine that bcso was unaware of whose house they were swatting.

They probably gave it the full court press as high risk—armored personnel carrier, 50mm gunner, robots and drones.

Somebody’s going to get a huge bill.

If we had a Constitutional Amendment guaranteeing the citizens from unreasonable search and siezure, and maybe require warrants based on probable cause, Swatting could NEVER HAPPEN!!

I heard they have to respond to all calls period, lest they risk getting sued for negligence.

That reaction tells me that they planned this for the publicity.

Serious question. How do they do that?

If true, the cops and or media will bury the fact.

"I would agree I think they’re doing it themselves or they’re having someone do it just to keep themselves in the media’s attention"

Yes. And from their point of view, if the responding officers wound up shooting each other/someone it would fit quite nicely in their argument of a gun violent society.

The father is an idiot, so it was not surprising the son is more of a moron.
= = = = = = = = = = =

Kind of like the (so called) parents of Monica Lewinsky who were seen ‘sucking up’ to the Clintons after it was revealed daughter hadn’t forgot how to crawl around a room on her knees to the fun and satisfaction of others.

I can seen not ‘condemning’ your daughter for perhaps a poor choice BUT to openly appear in public with the ‘host’ and acting civil to him???

They appeared to accept the schmoozing, much like BO entertained Bergdahl(sp) parents in the WH.

How many WARRIORS rolled over in their grave at the thought and sight of the pResident of the US, welcoming parents of and eventually the deserter?
