Infowars Chase Geiser Swatted Twice in a Twelve-Hour Period
Last night, Infowars host Chase Geiser was swatted twice in his home. This is not the first time for a conservative to be swatted, nor will it be the last, though has become a common occurrence of harassment coming from the left. Swatting is a dangerous and illegal prank where someone makes a false emergency call, typically to law enforcement, claiming a serious threat—like a hostage situation, bomb threat, or active shooter—at a specific location. The goal is to provoke a large, armed police response, often a SWAT team, to the targeted address, which is usually that of an unsuspecting victim. While it may start as a misguided attempt at humor or revenge, swatting carries severe risks and consequences. The core issue is the mismatch between perception and reality: police treat the call as a genuine emergency, while the victim is blindsided. This disconnect creates a volatile situation where miscommunication or missteps can turn deadly. Advances in technology—like spoofed phone numbers or AI-generated voices—make swatting easier to execute and harder to trace, compounding the risks.
