Guess Who's Targeted With the Most Swatting Attacks?

The left's acceptance and even advocacy of violence against the famous has led to the targeting of conservative media figures and conservative social media influencers for "swatting," which is the practice of calling the police and telling them that a dangerous, armed criminal resides in the target's house. Heavily armed SWAT teams and police show up and roust a family out of bed, scaring adults and traumatizing children.

"A cheap form of terrorism," says Reason.com's J.D. Tuccille. The targeting has led Tuccille and thousands of other conservatives in the media to contact local authorities, warning them that any "emergency calls" to their address are bogus.

Since election day in 2024, the number of swatting incidents targeting conservatives has spiked. On March 14, FBI Director Kash Patel posted, "I want to address the alarming rise in 'Swatting' incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable."

SWATing needs to be prosecuted as attempted murder. Regardless of the politics (or etc.) of the target.
