Dustin Grage @GrageDustin - This is what happened to me after leftists swatted my family.
My home was surrounded by officers responding to a false report that masked men had stormed my home and murdered my family while I was barricaded in the bathroom, as fake gunshots played over the 911 call.
It went all the way down to the threatening food deliveries that followed for the next year, with the names of murdered conservative journalists and others who were swatted printed on the delivery receipts.
The difference, of course, is that I don’t have a dedicated, government-funded security team, and nobody expects these threats getting into what I do vs. being a Supreme Court Justice, which is why they have dedicated security teams.
It’s a scary world for conservatives, but this has only emboldened me to be louder and bolder in my reporting.
I tell this to anyone seeking to be in the public eye now: You should, unfortunately, expect threats to become a regular part of life if you plan on being effective in the public space.
If you cannot handle that reality, then don’t pursue it. That’s just the unfortunate new reality we live in.
The left thrives on violence and intimidation. Because they know some will cave to their demands.
I fear Justice Amy Coney Barrett may have surrendered to the left out of fear for her life.
Quoted Post:
Fox News @FoxNews - Video: NEW: Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett details the chilling threats her family has faced, revealing the terrifying moment her 12-year-old son discovered a bulletproof vest in her bedroom during the fallout of the Dobbs leak.
Barrett also recounted a recent "swatting" incident at her home and receiving threatening anonymous deliveries, warning that while federal judges continue to do their jobs without fear or favor, the current threat level is "really high."
"I didn't expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was, and why I had to wear one."
