Swatting – American Conservative Movement https://americanconservativemovement.com American exceptionalism isn't dead. It just needs to be embraced.

According to the New York Post, the Southampton Village Police Department received a 911 call around 9 p.m. on Saturday, claiming a shooting incident and a threat of suicide at Soros’ mansion on Old Town Road. Officers responded promptly, but the call turned out to be a false alarm, as confirmed by Southampton Village Detective Sergeant Herman Lamison.

The police radio traffic recording obtained by the Post revealed that officers spoke to security, conducted a thorough search, and concluded that there was no real problem at the location.

George Soros has been known for supporting various far-left prosecutor candidates, such as Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, Kim Foxx in Chicago, and former DA Kim Gardner in St. Louis, as part of his broader efforts to reform the criminal justice system.

Beyond supporting prosecutors, Soros has contributed to overhauling the criminal justice system through organizations like the Open Society Policy Center. This Soros-funded advocacy nonprofit directed $15.18 million to Future Forward USA Action in 2022 for research and content testing on critical policy issues. Future Forward USA Action, affiliated with President Biden’s main outside super PAC for the 2024 elections, has been linked to evaluating key policy matters.

Notably, Soros is the latest prominent figure to experience a swatting incident in recent weeks. Other targets include Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, whose home was swatted after she disqualified former President Trump from the state’s 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot. Republican U.S. Reps. Brandon Wiliams and Marjorie Taylor Greene were swatting victims on Christmas Day, and Ohio Republican state Rep. Kevin D. Miller reported a swatting incident on Tuesday.

Constitutional Attorney Jonathan Turley Swatted https://americanconservativemovement.com/constitutional-attorney-jonathan-turley-swatted/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/constitutional-attorney-jonathan-turley-swatted/#comments Sat, 30 Dec 2023 13:19:25 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199889 If there’s one thing radical leftists hate more than Republicans, it’s Democrats who often side with Republicans. Constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley is at the top of that list as a Democrat who often speaks out against radical policies, authoritarianism, and judicial tyranny.

On Friday, he was “swatted.” Law enforcement was called to his home to respond to false reports of violent actions in  progress.

“Yes, I was swatted this evening. It is regrettably a manifestation of our age of rage,” the George Washington University law professor said in a statement on Friday. “However, we are grateful to the Fairfax police officers who were highly professional and supportive in responding to this harassment,”

According to NY Post:

Law enforcement responded to Turley’s Fairfax County home after an individual placed the bogus emergency call.

The Fairfax County Police Department confirmed that the caller falsely said somebody was shot at Turley’s address.

The incident comes one day after Turley spoke out against “swatting” during an interview with Fox News Digital.

This trend has been escalating in recent weeks as lawmakers and conservative figures have been victimized. While some on the left categorize it as a “prank,” there have been multiple instances of property damage, physical harm, and even death when law enforcement comes in hot to respond to reports of danger.

The Post continued, highlighting recent swatting events:

Cops were called to Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) home on Christmas Day after an individual phoned a suicide hotline claiming to have shot his girlfriend at the far-right politician’s home and threatening to kill himself, according to police. 

Republican Georgia state Sens. John Albers, Kay Kirkpatrick and Clint Dixon, as well as Democrat Kim Jackson, were also “swatted” on Christmas Day, according to Fox 5 Atlanta

Republican Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones said on Thursday that his home was “swatted” and a “bomb threat was called” into his district office. 

Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) had his upstate New York home “swatted” on Christmas Day just hours after Greene’s home was also visited by local law enforcement.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) became the third GOP member of Congress to be “swatted” during this week’s holiday recess when police responded to his home in Naples, Fla., on Wednesday.

Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu, a Democrat, was “swatted” two weeks after she hosted a controversial holiday party for the non-white city council members.

Police also responded to Republican Ohio state Rep. Kevin D. Miller’s the day after Christmas after fake reports of a shooting, according to local authorities.

Swatting is among the most cowardly and dangerous crimes one can commit. It’s not wonder the radical left has adopted it as a preferred attack against conservatives.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s DAUGHTERS Were Swatted Today https://americanconservativemovement.com/marjorie-taylor-greenes-daughters-were-swatted-today/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/marjorie-taylor-greenes-daughters-were-swatted-today/#respond Fri, 29 Dec 2023 00:19:12 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=199829 Swatting — the illegal practice of falsely reporting serious violent crimes at someone’s address in hopes that law enforcement will kill them — has been escalating against prominent political figures in recent days. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and conservative journalist Jack Posobiec have both been victims, as was Posobiec’s parents.

Now, the criminals are targeting Rep. Greene’s family According to her:

Both my daughter’s houses just got swatted today. Big thanks to the police who responded! We appreciate you and support you! Whoever is doing this, you are going to get caught and it won’t be funny to you anymore.

The “prank” is extremely disruptive and dangerous. It also hampers law enforcement by not only misdirecting important assets but also adding hesitancy that can prove deadly in real SWAT situations.

MAGA Podcaster and Twitter Star “Catturd” Swatted During Broadcast https://americanconservativemovement.com/maga-podcaster-and-twitter-star-catturd-swatted-during-broadcast/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/maga-podcaster-and-twitter-star-catturd-swatted-during-broadcast/#respond Tue, 26 Sep 2023 08:01:44 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=197147 Online anonymity is an important right that has been hotly debated in recent years. The case for preventing people from being “doxxed” was further reiterated yesterday when popular podcaster and Twitter star “Catturd” was swatted in the middle of his show.

Thankfully nobody was hurt, but as we’ve learned in the past getting swatted can have deadly results. And that seems to be the point of going after Catturd, who was a favorite of President Trump’s when he was still active on Twitter.

According to Luis Cornelio from Headline USA:

Catturd, a popular anonymous internet personality known for his humorous jabs at left-wing politics, faced a harrowing swatting incident while live-streaming his podcast, In the Litter Box with Jewels and Catturd.

This alarming event followed the doxxing of his identity by unhinged left-wing critics, marking yet another apparent attempt to silence conservative voices.

In his own words, Catturd described the chilling episode to his over 2 million followers on Monday. “I was just swatted during my podcast,” the man behind the account said. “The caller pretended to be me and told the cops – ‘I’ve stabbed someone, had a gun, and was going to kill myself.’”

The account bluntly blamed his doxxing for the dangerous swatting. “This is the result of being doxxed over and over by leftist outlets,” he said. “You can imagine how dangerous this is. I’m okay, the pets are okay, and the local cops were fantastic.”

Catturd had been a target of doxing in the past months, with several accounts sharing his name and alleged residency. However, despite the shock, he reassured his followers he will remain active on social media. “Thanks for your concern. I’ll continue to talk truth to power,” the person continued. “I won’t stop.  Love you all.”

Personalities on both sides of the political aisle have called for the end of online anonymity. Dr. Jordan Peterson has notably been an opponent of it, claiming that people should not be allowed to rant or make threats while remaining anonymous. He should tell that to Catturd.
