Two more Indiana GOP senators report swatting attempts as redistricting pressure rages

As redistricting rhetoric intensifies in Indiana, three Republican lawmakers who oppose the prospect — or are undecided — have reported attempted swatting attacks on their homes.

“It is disturbing that anyone would attempt to harm or intimidate lawmakers, but sadly not all that surprising in the current environment,” Sen. Spencer Deery, said Thursday, after police “thwarted” an attempt at his West Lafayette residence.

“Swatting” involves hoax calls or reports to emergency services intended to trigger armed responses — and can have lethal consequences for unwitting victims at the swatted location.

Deery, a vocal opponent of early congressional redistricting, was notified about 8 a.m. Thursday that police dispatch had received a report of domestic abuse at his address. It included a threat of violence to officers who responded.

1. This is the environment that they created willingly

It didn’t have to be this way, but you all allowed cruelty to infiltrate our body politics. You should have spoken up back in 2016~2025 but you are cowards and you all allowed this behavior to flourish.

Now it is boomeranging back to your party 🎉 ENJOY I guess!
