Topic: False Alarm

2 chapters across the catalog

Chase Geiser provides a first-hand account of being swatted twice in 24 hours, with the second incident involving a dozen officers and floodlights at 1:00 AM. The caller impersonated Geiser and claimed he was going to kill his wife and children. Geiser describes the tension of having weapons pointed at him while trying to ensure his dog and sleeping children were not harmed by the police response.

Owen Shroyer addresses a Media Matters report by Ari Drennan that accused him of calling a bomb threat at Boston Children's Hospital a "false flag." Shroyer clarifies that he was reading a mainstream headline that explicitly used the term "false alarm." He accuses Media Matters of intentionally misrepresenting his commentary to incite de-platforming efforts against him and Matt Walsh.
