David Hogg's Home Was "Swatted" This Morning

DarkWizard12 said:
Is that his actual house? I don't pity him one second. He put himself in the public eye, and some people are ****ed up enough to do stupid **** like this. he can deal with it. he's a "big boy" now.

He definitely enjoyed the spotlight, didn’t he?
 
We recall Trump's "Second Amendment Solution" to HRC and others he doesn't like. And Trump's lawyer Giuliani talking about Trump shooting James Comey and so on. And Trump himself saying he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and so on and so on.

We know well that the senior Hogg is an FBI agent retired. David and his mother are in Washington DC where David accepted the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award.



One Sunday evening two years ago, a heavily armed team of police officers drew their guns and cautiously approached the Melrose home of U.S. Rep. Katherine Clark. Unaware of their presence, the Democratic congresswoman was enjoying a quiet evening watching TV while her two youngest children were asleep upstairs.

“I noticed a lot of police lights on the front lawn,” Clark recalled. “As they didn’t go away, I became concerned something had happened to a neighbor. I stepped out of the house to investigate and discovered police on my lawn with long guns and police approaching our house. There was a moment of real fear at what was transpiring.”

The results of swatting hoaxes can sometimes turn tragic, as they did in a Dec. 28 incident in Wichita, Kansas. After receiving a report of a homicide and active hostage situation, Wichita police rushed to the home of 28-year-old Andrew Finch. When Finch came to the door, he was fatally shot by an officer who mistakenly thought Finch was reaching for a gun, police said

Some people are born leaders so they're comfortable with it. It's a gift. The direct opposite is to be a lost in the woods follower who might make crank calls that endanger life. Some right wing gun owners have expressed their regrets and concern over this crime by a criminal(s). Other right wing gun types see instead some justice to the swatting of Hogg's home which is no surprise to many of us. So the spotlight is at the moment on more people than the one David Hogg.
 
Boy Hogg may be an insufferable pissant, but this swatting stuff is a REALLY bad thing to do.

btw, what on earth has Boy Hogg done to earn the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award? Is it because he boycotts businesses?
 
David Hogg was selected by the organization March for Our Lives to receive the award in its behalf....


RE: The Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award on June 5, 2018 at The Kennedy Caucus Room on Capitol Hill.

This year Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights founder Ethel Kennedy will present the award to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas student movement March for Our Lives which fights for gun control legislation; immigrant youth network United We Dream; Color of Change, which engages decision-makers in corporations and government to create a more human dialog on race; and community organizers The International Indigenous Youth Council, who advocate for the environmental conservation issues, including preservation of the water supply.

“It’s an inspiration to see how vocal, engaged, and committed today’s youth are in their fight against injustice, and our 2018 Human Rights Award honorees reflect that passion for social justice,” said Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights President Kerry Kennedy. “The young leaders from the March for Our Lives, United We Dream, Color of Change, and The International Indigenous Youth Council carry on my father’s legacy of advocating a more just and peaceful world.”


March For Our Lives is a non-profit organization created by the current students and alumni of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Rising from the ashes of tragedy, these young adults have sparked a fire in the hearts of every generation in America – specifically the youth, leading the next generation into a new age of political awareness and involvement. The purpose of the group is to fight for common sense gun reform and to communicate the need for a large, educated voter force. With nonpartisan messaging, this organization strives to pass legislation that will safeguard every citizen of our country. These activists will continue to use their platform to make sure each politician has a public stance on this issue leading into the 2018 midterm elections. Victims of all types of gun violence have been unheard for far too long, and March For Our Lives will assure that their stories are spread and remembered.

His tweets have been harmful. He has called for people to be fired and people to lose their jobs. I am not condoning this type of behavior however he put himself in the public eye.

He is entitled to his views though no matter how wrong/miguided we might think he is. He is despicable for trying to get people fired or punished or whatever because they don't agree with him. But if we are consistent, it is also wrong to go after him physically/economically or illegally harass him with stuff like this phony S.W.A.T. situation just because we think he is wrong or a jerk.

Anybody who disagrees with Trump deserves an award.

Don't care where he is going.
The only way he would run into Trump is if he went to a KKK rally.

No anger. Just a prediction.
 
Swatting is no joke. People have DIED over that. I would be perfectly fine with charging people with attempted murder or something similar for doing it.

Yeah I remember during the boston bombings that any minute Obama was going to put us all under martial law.

And the FEMA concentration camps and the time the military was doing exercises in Texas and the right wing media, and even some Texan politicians believe Obama was going to invade Texas.

Given the provocative nature of his tweets it is likely one of the people he pissed off that did this, it would be rather hilarious if it was found out he made the call himself in order to get himself back in the news cycle though.
