Family of Stoneman Douglas student advocate David Hogg 'swatted' at home

[Anonymous 14]

Holy s~~~! This actually happened…

“CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. – The family of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg was “swatted” Tuesday morning, prompting deputies to respond to their Parkland home.

A call came into the Broward Sheriff’s Office claiming a hostage situation at the home.

Coral Springs Fire Rescue arrived at the scene to find there was no hostage situation and the call was a prank.

Hogg was not home at the time of the incident and is currently in Washington with his mother to accept the RFK Human Rights award.

In a phone call with Local 10 News, Hogg sounded off on the massive law enforcement presence at his home after the prank call.

“I think it’s really a distraction from what we’re trying to fix here, which is the massive gun-violence epidemic in this country,” Hogg told Local 10 News reporter Liane Morejon.

Hogg said he found out about the swatting incident through a phone call from a friend.”

I’d like to swat him upside his little punk head.

Just an attempt to stay relevant and in the news. Without constant attention, the imbeciles forget. Thus the “reminder”.

True, anything to stay in the news and continue the 15 minutes of fame.

That was my first thought as well.

If it was indeed a ‘prank’ people should knock that kind of s~~~ off.

A good prank should not include the possibility of the person you are pranking to get shot.

I would be willing to make an exception in this case.

I half think it was done deliberately to try to paint those who disagree with him in a negative light. It wouldnt surprise me if they called on themselves just to bring more attention to the bowel movement of disarming Americans.
