Needless to say, swatting is a crime, and an extremely dangerous one at that.
Five officers showed up at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greenes home overnight in response to a swatting call, Georgia police said.

Five police officers showed up at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greenes home overnight after an alleged opponent of her stance on transgender rights made a false 911 call, authorities in Georgia said Wednesday.
The swatting call falsely claimed that a man had been shot multiple times in a bathtub at a residence in Rome, Georgia, the citys police department said in a report shared with CNBC.
The Rome Police Department at 1:04 a.m. ET dispatched five officers, who were told on the way that they were headed to Greenes house, the report said. They rang the doorbell and were met by the Republican congresswoman, who assured us there was no issue, the report said.
A spokeswoman for the department told CNBC that the officers checked Greenes home.
Afterward, the department received a second call from a suspect using a computer-generated voice who claimed responsibility for the incident.

I'm gonna have to see something besides Traitor Greene saying this happened.

(1,962 posts)If she was swatted, I could see her swatting herself for the sake of attention. Because I don't think there are any limits to the kind of cunning stunts she would pull in the name of portraying herself as a victim, and getting more attention. Rep. Twitter Troll has to troll, always.
That said...
1. Has anyone ever heard of someone swatting someone, then making a second call to say why? I haven't. Making a second call just doubles the chances of your ass being traced and found. Zero doubt in my mind that Trailer Trash Greene made that up (if the whole thing isn't made up) so she can further terrorize trans people. Because Little Miss "I don't care what consenting adults do in their own bedroom!" (lie) is completely obsessed with people's genitals and their gender identities.
2. I love how (if any of this is true) the cops were forewarned whose house it was. Funny how when Keffals got swatted a second time, no one bothered to tell the pigs "Someone's falsely called us on her before." But that's right. Gotta be sure to use kid gloves with oily-skinned white Nazis... At least she isn't transgendering.
That said, if this happened, I am having a very difficult time mustering any sympathy. Maybe it's because her words and actions have gotten a lot of innocent people targeted and harassed and harmed. I don't condone swatting her (or anyone else). I just can't be bothered to shed any fucking tears, either.

(1,962 posts)Gangreene has spent two years promoting insurrection, spreading bigotry, harassing fellow members of Congress, stirring shit, causing turmoil, attempting to impeach Democrats for doing their jobs, and relentlessly targeting people like me... And your takeaway from me reaching my breaking point with her shit that?
Speaks volumes... dear.
Ohhh. I know. We're supposed to be nice - even when they are trying to kill us.
