On Friday, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows had unilaterally decreed President Trump could not have his name on the primary ballot in her state.
The unelected official performed this initiative by herself without any legislative action or court challenge to support it.
This from hotair.com.
Less than a day later, her home was swatted, with state police showing up after false reports of a man breaking into Bellows’ home were received.
Nothing was found to be amiss and the Secretary of State and her family were not home at the time, so the swatting attempt ended without incident. But that fortunate result does not make this attack harmless or meaningless, right?
Now, fellow Patriots, this is not any sort of case of “all’s well that ends well.”
The home of Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows was “swatted” Friday evening, police confirmed Saturday.
Maine State Police responded after an unidentified man lied about having broken into the house.
Bellows and her family were away at the time of the hoax call.
The incident comes after Bellows disqualified President Trump from the state’s 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot late Thursday, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bans from office those who ‘engaged in insurrection’ over his alleged incitement of the Jan. 6 riot.
As horrendous as Bellows’ decision to remove Trump from the ballot was, she described the swatting attempt as “unacceptable” and we must believe she is correct, right? This has become an increasingly common trend and it must stop.
The majority of recent swatting incidents have been against Republicans, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Congressmen Brandon Wiliams and Kevin Miller. But that does not legitimize a similar attack on a communist/globalist, right? Seriously, now!
Swatting is extremely dangerous, and people have been killed or injured by the police accidentally during these attacks. Filing false reports to the police is a crime, and calls intended to produce stressful SWAT Team responses are among the worst. Also, crime rates are surging and the police are already overwhelmed in many cities. Wasting their time chasing false reports when there are very real crimes taking place may cause untold danger.
Simply claiming “but the liberals do it” does not make this any more acceptable. The only correct response would be to track down the people making these calls and lock them up for a long time as an example to others. That has happened in a few cases, but this unfortunately is not as easy as it may sound. And as with so many other aspects of modern life, the problem has been exacerbated by the internet and the way that telephone calls are routed in the modern era.
Oddly enough, ‘Swatting’ is possible only because police have the ability to locate the source of a call (or what is listed as the source of the call being made). Swatting involves ‘spoofing’ the telephone number used to call the police and pretending the call is coming from the address the caller wants to be ‘Swatted.’ This is possible only because instead of actual copper wires and relays at telephone central offices, the call is routed and rerouted through internet connections from computer to computer, essentially there is no physical connection to trace.
