Some people are just sick.

It’s a sad reality of where we are politically as a country right now, as evident in this morning’s hoax SWAT call to David Hogg’s home in Parkland, Fl in which the caller claimed hostages had been taken.

This is seriously effed up.

From Local 10:

The family of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg was “swatted” Tuesday morning, causing police to respond to their Parkland home.

A call came into the Broward Sheriff’s Office claiming a hostage situation at the home in the 7800 block of Northwest 122nd Way.

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, DC with his mother to accept the RFK Human Rights award.

Wow.

David Hogg and his family are NOT being held hostage by someone with an AR-15.. BSO is, however, in Parkland at the family home after a hoax or swatting call.. #MSDSTRONG #neveragain

This is terrifying and not at all funny.

Hoax SWAT call to the home of Stoneman Douglas survivor & gun law activist David Hogg. @jweinsier reports: BSO called saying someone had taken people hostage. This was a swatting call & IS NOT TRUE. There is a major law enforcement presence at their Parkland home. @WPLGLocal10 pic.twitter.com/0dXcQc59fJ

If you are unfamiliar with what it means to be ‘swatted,’ it is a form of harassment where someone deceives emergency services into sending a police force to a person’s home. And considering police were allegedly told this was a hostage situation it was INCREDIBLY dangerous for the Hogg family.

Absolutely.
