Marjorie Taylor Greene and Brandon Williams "Swatted" over the Christmas Weekend

US Republican lawmakers ‘swatted’ on Christmas

Two US House Republicans, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Brandon Williams, have been targeted by pranksters who falsely reported shootings at their homes on Christmas day, in an apparent attempts to trigger potentially violent altercations with police. The prank is known as ‘swatting.’

"Swatting is no prank, it's an illegal and vile action that endangers the lives of innocent people, the public, and law enforcement. It's the opinion of IndieA that, those caught "swatting" should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The calls were made on Monday as Greene and Williams were celebrating Christmas with their families at their homes in Georgia and New York, respectively. In both cases, the callers falsely claimed that there had been a shooting at the lawmaker’s home address.

Greene said she has now been swatted eight times, and the FBI has been unable to track down the callers. “The FBI can do so many things, has even abused FISA to spy on hundreds of thousands of Americans, but cannot figure out who wants me killed by a hail of bullets fired by a SWAT team responding to murder-suicide calls supposedly coming from me,” the Congresswoman said. “Thankfully, my local police are far too smart, know me well, and know exactly what these swatting calls are.”

Police spokeswoman Kelly Madden told CNN that an unknown man had called the suicide prevention hotline, claiming that he'd shot his girlfriend at Greene’s address. Williams said his home was swatted on Monday afternoon. “Thanks to the deputies and troopers who contacted me before arriving,” he said. “They left with homemade cookies and spiced nuts. Merry Christmas everyone!”

Swatting calls have led to multiple deaths in the US, such as an April 2020 case in which a Tennessee man was fatally shot by police responding to a false report. He had been targeted by a teenager who coveted his Twitter handle and was trying to extort him. A Kansas man was killed by police in 2017, after a 911 caller reported that he had shot his father and was holding his remaining family members hostage.

Marj promotes anger and hate towards others.

Seems fitting that those same people might react to that anger and hate.

What she got was a taste of her own medicine. If you go around being intolerant, you might not be to tolerated yourself.

For every action, there is a reaction. Words have consequences. Legal or otherwise. And I agree. There should be prison time for this kind of behavior.

And my guess, it was Boebert. LOL!

Illegal and all that jazz and im sure they will indeed prosecute the culprits to the full extent of the law.

You commies are really pushing it.

There's far more patriots who would prefer not to resort to violence if possible.

But your comrades are on course to open a door that you won't be able to shut again, and you're not going to like what comes out.

at least her promotion is within the law and her rights. where as the POS's that reacted to her this way are law breaking criminals, that a big difference.

I can see where she triggers a lot of anger and hate by refusing to kowtow to the woke agenda, but show me where she "promotes" anger and hate.

a reply to: underpass61

Chasing after the survivors of mass shootings and pestering them in an offensive manner could indeed be called a display of anger and hate.

As to the claims of Jewish Space Lasers well that's just antisemitic, racist, never mind Qaonanuts, and also rather hateful by my guess.

The Left promotes far more anger and hate towards people on the Right, that’s a fact.
As a Lefty, you should know that.

Advanced laser technology, developed by Israeli defense contractors, that could potentially be deployed from the air and from space?

No way.

Nice of you to condone this behavior but then again, we expect Dem supporters to do exactly that.

I see you missed the part where i explicitly stated.

Illegal and all that jazz and im sure they will indeed prosecute the culprits to the full extent of the law.

How very ""convenient"" eh?

a reply to: IndieA

Greene said she has now been swatted eight times, and the FBI has been unable to track down the callers.

Just like the baggie found in the WH, complete with DNA and fingerprints, the FBI won't persue the issue because the guilty party doesn't have an R after their name.

The only crimes capable of being solved are those comitted against liberals.

Qanonanuts im afraid.

And Israel does not possess any orbital space lasers.

So you are merely speculating which proves little the same as your video.

I didn’t miss anything.

“But what goes around” is basically saying they are getting what they deserve.

The FBI is about as competent as the Keystone Kops - intentionally
