Erik Erickson, editor-in-chief of RedState.com and a CNN political contributor, reports that he is the latest conservative to be "SWAT"ed.
Local police received a call from an individual claiming to be Erickson, stating that an accidental shooting had occurred at his home. Says Erickson, "Tonight, my family was sitting around the kitchen table eating dinner when sheriffs deputies pulled up in the driveway."
In a statement to Breitbart News, Erickson further explained:
I can say that the Sheriff's Deputy told me someone had called from my number, giving my home address, claiming an accidental shooting.
Whether or not they actually gave the number, I don't know. My actual guess is that, given how we have our number set up, someone called 911 from a blocked number and gave our home address.
This tactic has previously been used on conservative blogger Patrick Frey aka Patterico, a California Deputy District Attorney, and Mike Stack, a New Jersey private citizen, both of whom were targeted by the left following the sex scandal which forced Anthony Weiner to resign from Congress.
Patterico's SWATer told 911 dispatchers that he (posing as the blogger) had shot his own wife, and police greeted him with drawn weapons, handcuffing him and waking his wife to frisk her as a police helicopter flew over their home.
Erickson's tale is far less dramatic than Patterico's, and he explains, "I had already, last week, advised the Sheriff’s Department to be on the look out for something like this." This latest SWATing occurred the same weekend as a coordinated blogging campaign to highlight convicted bomber Brett Kimberlin.
This is a breaking news update. Look to Breitbart News for further developments.

Supporters of Brett Kimberlin? I'm waiting to see any of these stories in the MSM.

Don't hold your breath. The good news is that, when cornered, the libtards somehow get stupider & do shit like this. Stuff like this & the occupoopers is costing the dear one more & more votes.

The police showing up with guns drawn after a report of an accidental shooting?
Sounds like they may have over reacted a bit.
I'd like to hear the 911 recording.

Rich, I disagree, "accidental" shooting = gun & possible domestic disturbance (one of the most dangerous calls for police). They have to exercise extreme caution in these situations. I hope they will be able to catch the assholes making these calls. Can you say felony?

And the Tea Party is considered "dangerous"!

Ahhh... After rereading the article, the cops didn't have guns drawn after the report of the accidental shooting.
That's what I get for scanning too quickly.

Felony Hell, I call it attempted murder by Police. As in suicide by police etc.
Bad enough that mistakes take the police to the wrong address and someone has a heart attack or in some way body language tells the cops some one is reaching for a weapon.
This is not like getting pissed off at someone and ordering 6 Pizzas to their address, this is some serious shit here.

It's going to be very difficult but, I hope they catch these cowards & connect them to Kimberlain. Like I said, they can't help themselves.
