MTG swatted. Her two daughters swatted. Jack Posobiec parents swatted. Now Rick Scott, FL Senator was swatted last night. Fox News Legal Analyst Johnathan Turley gets swatted after talking about it on air. GA Lt Governor was swatted as well. MTG is saying on X many more Republican officials report incidents.
Of course, the FBI is too busy chasing grandmothers who were let into Congress to even bother investigating.
It isn't even 2024 yet, shit's already getting crazy.
Bingo. This goes double when it's somebody famous or a public figure.
It doesn't take a genius level intelligence to think an anonymous caller saying senator so-and-so just blew away his whole family merits some investigation before sending in a squad of heavily armed cops who are likely to shoot anyone they see on sight.
"Hey, if this guy is supposedly just shot a bunch of people how come we haven't received any 'shots fired' calls from anyone in his neighborhood?" Is a question they've apparently never asked themselves.
Context is generally out of the window in a potential emergency setting. You have to consider anything is possible.
I don't believe dispatchers/police necessarily know who lives at the addresses they are called to. And it's not like celebrities don't go nuts either.
I would think a caller would be more vague, so you can't rule out that some whacko just barged in to kill the politician's family.
Maybe they're all at work. Maybe they're all watching action movies in their soundproof private theaters. Maybe they are dealing with a bystander effect, wherein a large group of witnesses don't act/call because they all assume someone else will. Again, emergency, and anything is possible and this anonymous tip says lives are at stake.
