White House victim of ‘swatting’ – fire trucks, EMS vehicles dispatched over fake 911 call
January 15, 2024 | Kevin Haggerty |
Pranking “Brandon” reached a “dangerous criminal” level Monday when the president became just the latest high-profile target of an apparent “swatting.”
On any given day, gaffetastic President Joe Biden’s typical behavior is enough to wade him into a tide of relentless punchlines. However, on Monday morning, as over a dozen emergency vehicles were dispatched to the White House, the commander-in-chief wasn’t even home to experience firsthand the potentially serious consequences of a false report to 911.
Reporting on the incident, CNN producer and reporter Betsy Klein shared on social media, “Another troubling, dangerous swatting incident this AM: A caller falsely told 911 that the White House was on fire and someone was trapped inside. A significant emergency response [with] multiple @dcfireems units dispatched in the 7a hour before it was determined to be a false alarm.”

SWATing is often attempted murder and has been a tactic used by some Progs against people whose views they hate. Until SWATers receive serious prison time it will continue. I do not care who false-reported the WH, they need prison time.
