Parkland Activist’s Reaction to SWAT Incident at Home Is a Big Red Flag
. . .The media darling [David Hogg] who has made a name for himself for expressing outrage over gun violence — and the 5 million law-abiding members of the NRA — shrugged off a report that the Broward County Sheriff’s Office received a call reporting someone in his home with a weapon in a possible hostage situation, prompting a S.W.A.T. team to respond, ABC News reported.
Besides the remarkable fact that the media was on hand for the raid on the home, the “super-excited” 18-year-old brushed the incident off by calling it a “silly prank.” . . .
“The swatting incident was just a silly prank," Hogg tells @ABC.
"It’s not going to take our focus off what we’re super excited about—the March For Our Lives bus tour to get young people to vote and promote gun law reform." https://t.co/BvGCtEyWnb

Hogg was not home at the time of the incident. He was in Washington, D.C. with his family accepting a human rights award from the Robert F. Kennedy foundation.
Of all the responses to the incident from Twitter, National Review’s Jim Geraghty may have tweeted the most cerebral response.
“They’ll release the 911 tape of the swatting of Hogg’s family to see if any members of the public can recognize the voice, right?” he asks. “Because this a crime, not merely a ‘silly prank.’”
