One of my posts for Halloween eleven years ago was about My #SWATing Schedule.

A couple of days ago, I received a threat about being SWATed tonight. I want the bozo who made the threat to know that, even though I have a business appointment this evening, I intend to be home at least an hour before the time he specified.

I also want to remind him that the threat has been communicated to local and federal law enforcement and that Mrs. Hoge and I have promised to save some Halloween candy for the responding deputies.

UPDATE—I’m home from my meeting and have just finished a wonderful bowl of cioppino that Mrs. Hoge made for me. I have a load of tweets from Brietbart Unmasked to look at, but before I wade through them, I want to tell my SWATter that he’ll get faster response by dialing the Sheriff’s Office direct line at (410) 386-2900 and then pressing 2 for the duty officer.

Now, about those tweets from Breitbart Unmasked … you’ll need to read them from bottom to top.

Of course, I wasn’t SWATted. The cowards were only capable of a bit of online harassment that evening.
