Technocracy: The Left’s Dangerous ‘SWAT-ting’

My WND Technocracy column this week is about the disturbing trend in which conservative bloggers have been targeted for false police reports of violent incidents.

“SWAT-ting” is so named because it involves tricking emergency response personnel into believing a call for help has been placed from the victim’s home.

The implications of such false reports, in which phone numbers and addresses have been spoofed, are obvious:  Somebody’s going to die eventually.  Whether it’s an innocent conservative whose only crime is blogging about leftist scum, or an equally innocent police officer who walks into the bullet of a citizen who thinks he’s facing a home invasion, SWAT-ting will kill someone before long if it doesn’t stop.
