      “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

          What sad man you must be, going on the internet to berate a kid who saw his classmates massacred. Won't even show your face.

          He may have known kids that were killed, but he didn't see anyone get shot - in an entirely different building. Also, this kid is extorting businesses and bullying any other of his classmates who dare oppose his view.

          Your quoting Hogg who's minimizing this act is fine. However this is a crime a potential murder so your headline shouldn't call it a prank.

          Knowing how serious “Swatting” can be for David Hogg to call it a “silly prank” leads me to believe he might actually have had something to do with it.

          My exact thought. I'm thinking HE is the one who placed the phone call to "report" armed hostage-takers inside his (empty) home!

          Serious crime, NOT a prank. Respectable news sources should label it as such.

          I’m really impressed with how he handled this. Very mature. And he focuses any attention that happens to be about him on their initiative. Awesome!

          Mature?? How so? Nothing silly about this. Almost as if he knew about this beforehand with its convenience of "being away" and calling this a prank. Not to mention trying to make this into politicobabble while cameras are around...

          Find who made the call and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Calling in a tactical team like this is not a prank and has no place in our society.

          I will encourage law enforcement to do their jobs. I will not rush to judgment before any facts have been released. Ad hominem really doesn’t add to a conversation.

          Hang on... Hogg, the VICTIM, says: "“The swatting incident was just a silly prank"? Let me reiterate that: The guy's who's house was swarmed by a SWAT team calls it "a silly prank"? Am I the only on who thinks that is a completely inappropriate response here? #SomethingFishy
