Swatting refers to calling police to inform them of an imminent threat in an attempt to get them arrested or harmed in the process.

Even the highest officials in the land aren't immune to such terror.

Something tells me that if this was KBJ's house and not ACB's, we'd have months-long news coverage about the dangers of policing, white privilege, systemic racism, and, of course, how racist Trump and his voters are.

But this story has hardly broken into the mainstream.

Here's Red State:

It's happened again. The life of a conservative Supreme Court Justice was reportedly threatened Wednesday night after the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in Washington, D.C., received reports of gunfire at the home of Amy Coney Barrett.

DC-based independent journalist Andrew Leyden first reported that trouble was brewing at Barrett's residence just before 10 p.m. ET; Leyden did not identify which Justice was involved, but revealed it was determined to be a 'swatting incident.' ...

The independent journalist, who eventually identified Barrett as the target, was able to get his hands on part of the police dispatch recording from Wednesday night, which showed initial reports of gunfire at a residence that was deemed an 'LOI,' or 'location of interest,' and that there was 24-hour security at the house. Police reportedly met with the security detail and were able to determine it was a hoax call.

Let's find the perp and throw him in jail.
