What i noticed was the news included the fact that the police found no weapons in the house. Since when is an anonymous phone call probable cause to search a home? Why did the news outlet feel it was needed to report that there is no arms in the home? The next invasion of his privacy now that it is know he has no defense could be by people with no warrant or badges.

Clint Eastwood spoke at the RNC so it doesn’t matter that he’s Hollywood.

Somebody on the left will need to get hurt before something’s done about it…

So until then…just hope and pray that nobody gets killed by the nutso people who do this stuff.

OK, law enforcement. Time to get moving on this stuff.

One can’t help but believe that if LE believed even for just a nanosecond that tea partiers were behind it they’d have been all over this from jump.

“I wonder what their response time was out to the Playboy mansion.”

I don’t know, but I hear tell they broke the sound barrier.

They (the police) won’t get serious about this until somebody famous gets dead

Not even then. But when there’s a real 911 call from a celebrity home and the cops treat it as a hoax and get shot by the crazed celebrity, THEN you’ll see action!

Maybe the cops should stop automatically deploying the swat teams for every single call. Especially with those “No More Hesitation” targets law enforcement are using.

I’m very disappointed to have seen those targets.

If you catch yourself practicing to kill people who look like that, you need to do some serious thinking about whether you’re the bad guy, cause those targets look a lot like the good guys.

Hmm.. I wonder if any crimes are being planned in advance and commited during these swatting diversions..

Comment by tbflowers (11c057)

I came here to say this same thing. The failure to resolve these crimes has also taught the wrong lesson.
