In a disturbing trend of targeted harassment, yet another Republican lawmaker has fallen victim to a dangerous practice known as swatting. Senator Rick Scott became the latest in a string of politicians to have his home wrongly targeted by a fraudulent 911 call.
Late last night, the Naples police received a distress call from an individual claiming to have shot his wife with an AR-15 and holding the wife's boyfriend hostage. The caller, who identified himself as Jamal, made further threats, asserting the presence of a bomb and demanding compliance with his demands. Shockingly, the caller used Senator Scott's address as his own, prompting police to swiftly respond to the scene.
