        “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."http://abcn.ws/2HnyTse

        Here in Kansas an innocent man was shot dead by police on his own front porch due to a swatting "prank". This is not funny or acceptable!!!

        While I agree with you it should be said that the cop there didn’t follow procedures, correct?

        The cop claims he thought the man was reaching for a weapon (the man was unarmed). The cop has not been punished, and they have not admitted that the cop did anything wrong.

        They caught the guy who called it in, he was in California and was extradited to KS, and he actually has done it many times before. He's looking at serious jail time, multiple charges.

        Good, so there is some #Justice for doing malicious harassment like #Swatting. Not only do they endanger their target and neighbors, they waste tax payers money and police man hours that could have been spent on saving lives and tracking criminals.

        "Silly pranks" can turn deadly fast. It happened here in Wichita, KS just a free months ago and an innocent man was shot dead by the police responding to the fake call.

        It’s not a prank. It was an attempt to use armed agents of the state to murder a political activist.

        The ones perpetrating this might wish to call it a “prank”, but as a factual news outlet you should call it what it is, a crime.

        Attempted murder by cop is not a prank.

        We don't care how David Hogg characterized the incedent. We only care how ABC news characterized it "Swatting" is not a "Prank"

        The tragic thing is these sometimes end up with the death of the person being pranked. Whoever did this was probably hoping for that same outcome. Despicable.

        Prank? It’s attempted murder.
