How in 2024 do we not have the ability to find and prosecute offenders of false 911 calls like this?
We do but our cops are fascist and want Trump to win.

And that’s how COVID became the #1 cop killer for two years. But to hear my cop brother in law recount it: “COVID doesn’t exist for us.”
The right’s pandemic policy ultimately hurt them more, but given the unknown future cost of long COVID, it could be far worse for everyone than we realize.
I’m starting to wonder how many of us have long term issues, or that issues that might get worse because of prior covid infections. I’m not sure if we have ever fully recovered our sense of smell and taste.
My wife became sensitive/allergic to both dairy and soy since being infected last winter, even fully vaccinated at the time, though likely during the least effective period of our vaccines.
I feel different since those times. Not quite sure how.
My father in law, who is a retired state police officer, lost so many friends to COVID. I think at one point he had five straight weekends of funerals.
ACAB

Ding Ding Ding!
I managed to quite royally piss off a paranoid county contracted bounty huntress by showing her Trump’s mugshot.
Good thing she needed me as a witness.
Why would cops investigate themselves?
If the caller has more than two braincells, they’ll user a burner phone, rented phone number etc.
These types of things are next to impossible to trace if done right
Yeah but if GOP voters were smart they wouldn’t be voting for the GOP, so should be pretty easy to trace.
Criminal minds don’t necessarily have to be smart, they have to be criminal.
Nah, they get caught all the time. There is just an endless supply of brain-dead conservative cultist to keep doing it.
Remember Cesar Sayoc?
Yep, that’s why I included the two brain cell clause, covers a good 50% of the population, perhaps even more than that
people who do that are found frequently… but if they’re not completely dumb, they would be untraceable. (basically a burner phone)
i remember one guy, who eventually got caught anyways, had a swatting service where he used some aol service that would transcribe phone calls for the blind, and contacted them over tor…
i think it should be hard for cops to track people… it should be possible to defy the gove.g. if drumpf becomes dictator, it’ll be good to have a way to escape…
Police are only obliged to protect private property. Especially large collections of private property. Not people.
That’s why it’s the role of the fbi to investigate any threats to officials
I really appreciate all the people responding with valid well thought out counter points and examples. Not simply smashing the download button because they can’t prove otherwise but still don’t like it.

yet another glaring example of why i’m not willing to meet these ingrates halfway
Almost any group is capable of having extremists who are willing to do something stupid. Being stupid as a response to extremists being idiots is exactly how divisions grow.
true. but quite frankly, if someone can’t at their very core agree to the ‘golden rule’, what other option is there? a functioning society is better off being divided against people like that.
You want to be equated to the most extreme people who share your beliefs?
a belief that they should treat others the way they’d want to be treated?
this is probably a trick question so i don’t think I’d answer it correctly
Why am I not the least bit surprised? The fascist right wing want their orange jesus even if people have to die.
Their first move when Trumpy is punished somehow is routinely to threaten violence against individuals or just in general.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The incident happened just a day after Bellows, a Democrat, ruled former President Donald Trump is constitutionally ineligible to appear on the state’s primary ballot next year.
When officers arrived, they found no one at the house, and they checked the exterior of the property as well as the interior at the request of Bellows, who was not at home at the time.
Bellows’ decision followed a first-of-its-kind ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court last week that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution bars Trump from holding office again because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Bellows’ office said her decision would not be enforced until the courts weigh in, “given the compressed timeframe, the novel constitutional questions involved, the importance of this case, and impending ballot preparation deadlines.”
He also called Bellows “a former ACLU attorney, a virulent leftist and a hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat who has decided to interfere in the presidential election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden.”
Trump had demanded Bellows, a former state senator, recuse herself from the case, arguing she was too partisan and prejudiced because she had called the Jan. 6 attack an “insurrection.”
The original article contains 539 words, the summary contains 194 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Trump had demanded Bellows, a former state senator, recuse herself from the case, arguing she was too partisan and prejudiced because she had called the Jan. 6 attack an “insurrection.”
That is hilarious. She ruled that way because she thinks the J 6 coup attempt was an insurrection, but she should recuse herself because she said the J 6 coup attempt was an insurrection.
Thankfully I’m not in her situation, so i can’t judge her actions, but I do wonder whether it would be better not to give the perp the satisfaction of publication.
I can imagine someone jizzing their pants over this article and their little stunt.

History: “Have fun on the train.”
I’ll die with my boots on thank you very much. (see my comment above)
Your pea-shooters won’t do much against government attack against you. A drone could kill you, targeting your phone usage and you would never know it.
Liberals and demsocs say guns are the problem. Those of us who know our history, know it always ends in violence.
Don’t start the fight if you can help it, but damn well be able and ready to end it.
The state cannot have a monopoly on violence.
Liberals: “The Christo-fascists are coming!”
Well, they’re already here.
Liberals: “They want to exterminate LGBT people!”
Not exactly a secret.
Liberals: “Trump is in-your-face quoting Hitler!”
I know. Even as a middle-aged white guy, I’m on the list.
Liberals: “I know my history! Brown shirts are right around the corner, ready to sweep neighborhoods!”
I can certainly see that happening on my block.
Liberals: “Give up your guns!”
Hold up.
POC, women and the LGBT folks are way ahead of you OP. Liberals won’t talk about it, but guess who the biggest gun purchasing demographic has been the last few years. Hint: It ain’t old white guys.
CAVEAT: Owning a gun without practicing safety and practicing fighting is worse than not having one. It’s a commitment you don’t want if you’re not willing to go all out. I’m fine with that. Just don’t go pick up a pistol and call it all good.
Went to my camp in the swamp today. Farted around as usual, got some shooting in though. Practiced drawing my little carry gun and getting on target. Disappointing, at best. Practiced combat reloads with my 12-gauge. Meh. Still, much fun! (Turns out loading snap caps in my living room is much easier than live rounds that go bang!) AR-15 malfunctioned today, couldn’t figure it in the field, had to take it home. Turns out it was a squib due to shitty ammo.
Was some of that last paragraph puzzling to anyone? Those are the sorts of things you have to learn about.
Tomorow I’m taking my Filipina wife shooting the .380 I got her for Christmas. (Filipinas aren’t used to guns, at all.) It’s totally cute! Hot pink, steel-frame Bersa Thunder. Super sticky and weird. Probably take several hundred rounds to loosen it up, get it in shape. It’ll take that many rounds to get her comfortable with it. LOL, she’ll likely never carry, not sure I want her to.
Did I talk about commitment? 1,000 rounds through your weapon are what I consider minimum before you carry it.
People with guns still need a support network. Get connected to your local mutual aide network if you can.
I would like to know more. Very much on my own here. I have a SHTF place, with guns, ammo, clothes, food, shelter, all that. LOL, maybe I should be the guy offering support to neighbors.
Doubt you’ll find something on this site: https://www.mutualaidhub.org/
Locally for me it has been getting involved in the local community: maker space (we made masks during COVID), bicycle group, and a very radical church with a community pantry. But it sounds like those things might not be available where you are, so it might instead be getting involved in a foraging group or other local activities that make sense. Sharing local knowledge outside the Internet is a good habit in case if shit goes south.
Crap. Nothing remotely near me. But the rest of your comment is inspiring!
Been meaning to look into foraging. I’ve got 2.5 acres in a Florida swamp and I’d starve to death quick. How can that be?! I need to learn more.

Yes! Let’s pour even more petrol on the almost out of control fire, I am sure that will put it out!
The only thing a gun will do for you during a swat raid is get you killed faster. Some guy with a pistol doesn’t stand a chance against a team of trained gunmen. They’ll see the weapon, kill you immediately, and use the fact that you were armed as justification that you were guilty.
