Indiana Republican called out by Trump on redistricting is swatted

An Indiana Senate Republican who President Donald Trump called out in a Truth Social post Sunday for not backing the White House’s plan to draw new congressional maps was later targeted by a swatting, according to local authorities.

Greg Goode, who Trump posted was a “RINO” he was “Very disappointed in” Sunday was targeted hours later by what Vigo County Sheriff Derek Fell called a “swatting” in a statement.

Despite Trump’s social media post insinuating otherwise, Goode has not publicly announced his position on redistricting.

Fell said that around 5 p.m. Sunday “an email was sent to the Terre Haute Police Department advising harm had been done to persons inside a home, located in southeastern Vigo County,” Fell said. “This information was immediately relayed to the Sheriffs Office, at which point deputies responded to the home, which was the home of Senator Greg Goode. Attempts were initially unsuccessful to raise anyone at the residence, but ultimately contact was made with persons inside the home.”

Seems a LOT of people should be in jail for these swatting instances.

Properly using a throw-away VOIP account with a VPN will cover one's tracks sufficiently. It's really quite simple to be anonymous if a person knows what they're doing. Of course, some imbeciles do not.
