Calling in a hostage situation to the police in order to get the swat team to forcibly enter the premises with the hopes your target gets killed.Anti-taxxer said:

Basically a fake 911 call that tells the police of an allege crime in progress to entice the police to show and show up expecting hostility. It can end in death for either the victim or the police due to escalation.Quote:
Swatting is a criminal harassment act of deceiving an emergency service into sending a police or emergency service response team to another person's address.

anonymous tips to the police or FBI that there's a body buried under Mike Gallager's house or that Mike Gallager is armed and holding his children hostage or things to that effect can create some scary moments for people and their families when the raids and swat teams show up. The party of compassion does this to everyone they don't like.Anti-taxxer said:

Good point. I would add that if he fears for his family he would resign as soon as possible and not wait weeks to allow Democrats to increase their numbers.nortex97 said:
Keep in mind he is also a liar who intentionally is resigning a couple weeks too late to have a special election to fill his seat as he wants Democrats to be in charge of certifying the election in November in case Trump wins and he is going to work for a top dollar MIC job.
Are you sure he's talking about Leftist swatting? Given the timing, I find it more likely he's getting threats from the Right.damiond said:Rep. Mike Gallagher has said he's leaving Congress to spend more time with family. Now, he's sharing more details.

Not an excuse to leave your job after he can't be replaced screwing the party over!
I hope this is political suicide for him!

Are you 12?
They try, but these Swatting Calls generally are called in on a throw away phone (Burner) that you can buy at a convenience store and purchase prepaid minutes for. Phone is then thrown away.whatthehey78 said:
As for "swatting"...with phone records, etc. can't LE trace the call back to the caller & prosecute accordingly???????
