Why has this been happening so much over the holiday season?
Senator Rick Scott and Marjorie Taylor Greene were some of the most high-profile figures to become victims of Swatting incidents these past weeks.
However, now we are seeing the perpetrators of these awful hoaxes go after a famed Constitutional attorney.
Lawyer Jonathan Turley became the latest victim of a swatting attack when his Fairfax Virginia home was raided by law enforcement on Friday.
The famed attorney previously came out to condemn the attacks and tell media sources that the reason we are seeing an uptick in this type of harassment is “because there is insufficient deterrent.”
If there were heavier penalties for weaponizing law enforcement against unsuspecting victims then we would likely see these types of events go down in frequency. Here’s more on the story:
🚨Jonathan Turley spoke out against swatting, then was swatted. It follows the swatting of 3 Republican lawmakers since Christmas.

When there is ineffective prosecution or punishment of evil actions that behavior is likely to persist.

The New York Post reports:
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.
MAGA patriot Angie pointed out: “And the left says we are a the threat. They are deranged!! Swatted: John Paul Mac Isaac, Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones And Law Professor Jonathan Turley Are the Latest Targets of Bogus Police Calls.”
