Today, CNN featured a story centering around CNN contributor and RedState managing editor Erick Erickson, the latest victim in a series of incidents in which an imposter mimics the phone number of a target, then calls the police and confesses to a violent crime. Such confessions often result in law enforcement personnel, many times special weapons and tactics teams (SWAT teams), responding to calls with full force, risking the life and health of the target. This tactic has been called SWATting by the FBI.

The man and his family could have been killed by some trigger-happy nutball cop for sitting in their house watching TV. He might be an asshole but this sort of "prank" can only get innocent people killed. Hopefully the moron who made the prank 911 call isn't one from our side but if he is, I'd like to have a "talk" with him.
Now back to calling Erickson names ...

They just showed this? After that fatass admitted it didn't really happen that way and there was no danger? That must be why I stopped watching them over a decade ago.
He said that he knew the cops that responded personally and told them there was no problem
Sorry, F-Man, can't go along with ya on this one. A nasty despicable prank, yes, but that sonofabitch deserves all the grief he can get.
Do we have anything other than his word that this happened? Just askin', 'cause ya know all of those people(*) are liars.
