You think political violence only happens on the campaign trail? Think again. Swatting—the act of falsely reporting an emergency to send armed police to someone’s home—isn’t just a prank gone too far. It’s a targeted, violent tactic. And these days, it’s being aimed straight at conservative voices.
From members of Congress to online personalities, this isn’t some harmless teen hack-job. This is an assassination attempt dressed up as a “joke.”
And I’ll say it plainly: Swatting is attempted murder. The goal is to get someone killed—or at the very least, silenced. And it’s happening far more than the media wants to admit.
What Is Swatting, Really?
Let’s break it down: some unhinged individual calls the cops, claims there’s a violent crime happening at your home—say, a hostage situation or active shooter—and within minutes, you’ve got SWAT teams with ARs pointed at your door.
They don’t knock. They don’t ask. They act.
And if you happen to be grabbing a midnight snack, or worse, reaching for your phone? It could be the last thing you ever do.
This isn’t paranoia. It’s already happening.
The Conservative Swatting Surge
Let’s list a few names:
- Joe Pags (Yours truly)
- Juanita Broaddrick
- Owen Shroyer
- Chase Geiser
- Nick Sorter
- Gunther Eagleman
- Shawn Farash
- Catturd
- Mike Engleman
- Chad “Thugzilla” Caton
- Erin Derham
- Matt Von Swol
- Walter Curt
- Larry “Terrorist” Taunton
- Dustin Grage
- Beard Vet
- Benny Johnson
This growing list isn’t just a roll call of patriots—it’s a red flag that something deeply sinister is underway. We’re talking about a coordinated attempt to harass, frighten, and ultimately silence the most outspoken defenders of American values. If this kind of targeting were happening to liberal activists or left-wing journalists, the media would be screaming bloody murder from every rooftop. But because it’s happening to conservatives, there’s nothing but crickets from the legacy press. It’s not just bias—it’s complicity.
This is domestic terrorism—but only if the victims vote blue, apparently.
Silencing Dissent, One 911 Call at a Time
Swatting isn’t about jokes. It’s about intimidation.
They want you off the air. Off the internet. Out of the conversation. Silent.
This is cancel culture with body armor. You speak out, and they call in a hit—not with a gun, but with your local police.
And the real kicker? These cowards are hard to track. They use spoofed numbers, VOIP, VPNs, and burner phones. But let me be crystal clear: just because they hide doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous.
Pags’ Take: This Is Attempted Murder
If someone knowingly sends armed officers to your door under false pretenses, what else do you call it?
Now listen—if you ever think you’re being swatted, don’t just stand there scratching your head. Pick up the phone and call 911 yourself. That’s right—call before they come busting down your door. Tell the dispatcher exactly what’s going on: “I believe I’m the target of a swatting hoax.” Make sure they relay that message to the responding officers so they don’t go full action-movie on your front lawn.
And while we’re at it—don’t wait until it happens. Be smart. Do what I’ve done. Reach out to your local PD and sheriff ahead of time. Let them know who you are, what you do, and that some lunatic on the internet might try to send the cavalry your way. Give them your cell number, your spouse’s number, heck, even your children’s cell phone numbers—anything that keeps this from going sideways.
They’re trying to get you killed. That’s not exaggeration—that’s fact. You wake up at 2 a.m. to flashlights and rifles pointing at your door, your kids crying, your dogs barking, your heart pounding out of your chest, your life hanging in the balance.
That’s not a prank. That’s a hit job.
And I’ll go further: This is what censorship looks like in 2025.
So What Happens Now?
We need action.
- Federal penalties for swatting should be on par with domestic terrorism and/or attempted murder.
- The FBI and local PDs must be trained to verify and investigate these calls before going full Rambo.
- And conservative voices must stand together—because they are clearly being targeted.
This isn’t just about one politician or one influencer—it’s about the right to speak freely without fearing for your life.
A Final Word
You can’t “accidentally” get someone killed with a fake 911 call. Swatting is a cold, calculated tactic of political warfare.
And while the Left turns a blind eye, Americans on the Right are asking: When did speaking the truth become a potentially deadly act?
We won’t be silenced. We won’t be intimidated. And if you’re thinking about making that call? Better hope the law gets to you before karma does.
