SWATing is a criminal harassment tactic in which an individual makes a false emergency report—often involving claims of a hostage situation, active shooter, or other violent threat—to provoke a heavily armed police response to a victim’s home or workplace. The goal is to intimidate, harass, or retaliate against the target by causing them to face a dangerous law enforcement encounter.
SWATing can result in serious injuries or even death, as officers responding to the fabricated threat arrive expecting a high-risk situation. The practice has been used against journalists, politicians, activists, and online personalities, especially in politically charged environments.
Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. have begun treating SWATing as a serious federal offense, with perpetrators facing charges such as false reporting, fraud, and making terroristic threats, carrying severe legal penalties.
Online, some have speculated that the responding police were negligent in responding to his address in the same charged way, twice in the same 24 hour period. They note that his address should have been flagged as a potential political target.
The militant political left has regularly used domestic terrorism tactics like these against the right. Rarely does law enforcement take action to prosecute the offenders.
Alex Jones is claiming Gen. Mike Flynn warned him that he’s on a Ukrainian Hit list.
Ukraine is also accused of killing right-wing journalist Gonzalo Lira in January 2024, while Lira was in custody of the country’s law enforcement.
The right-wing internet personality Phillip Buchanan, known online as “Catturd,” was also swatted in 2023.
This comes in the wake of InfoWars reporter Jamie White’s murder on the streets of Austin, Texas outside of his apartment complex Chandelier Apartments at 2336 Douglas St., Austin, in a parking lot. The suspects fled, and the police do not have anyone yet in custody.
Jones has said that he believes White was on a “Ukraine Hit List.”
Austin Police suggest it was a car robbery gone wrong, because the car had been broken into. In June of last year White posted to Twitter: “I’m on the Ukrainian ‘Enemies List’ due to my work at Infowars and with Alex Jones on the Ukraine proxy war.”
A CBS News report from December claimed that at least 50 members of Congress had been swatted in the past month.
Alex Jones and InfoWars has suffered not only from ongoing lawfare, but also from the wildly unequal treatment by Texas courts.
Jones and InfoWars were subject to an incredible $1.4 billion dollar liability from multiple defamation lawsuits.
The lawsuits were filed by families of Sandy Hook victims, who accused Jones of spreading false claims about the 2012 school shooting. In Connecticut and Texas, juries awarded staggering damages totaling over $1.4 billion, including punitive damages that far exceeded state legal limits. Jones argued that the trials were politically motivated show trials, with courts denying him a fair defense, refusing to consider First Amendment protections, and ignoring Texas law that limits punitive damages. Facing financial devastation, Jones filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, claiming that the massive judgments made it impossible for him to continue operations.
The bankruptcy process has since revealed that plaintiffs are aggressively pushing to liquidate Jones’ assets, including his media company, Free Speech Systems, in an apparent effort to silence him permanently. However, legal experts note that bankruptcy courts may still reduce the judgment amounts, and Jones has vowed to continue fighting the rulings on appeal.
In the Texas lawsuit against Alex Jones over his Sandy Hook statements, the court blatantly ignored Texas state law that caps punitive damages in civil cases. Under Texas law, punitive damages are limited to the greater of $200,000 or twice the amount of economic damages (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.008). Despite this, the jury awarded $45.2 million in punitive damages—far exceeding the statutory cap. Jones’ legal team argued that this award was unlawful and unenforceable under state law, but the court allowed the inflated verdict to stand, reflecting a politically charged judgment rather than a fair application of the law. The case exemplifies how due process and statutory protections can be disregarded when politically motivated actors seek to make an example of a controversial figure. Jones has vowed to appeal the ruling, citing clear violations of Texas law and judicial overreach in what many see as an attempt to financially destroy him for his speech rather than apply the law impartially.
Attorneys close to the litigation have said privately that they believe major New York hedge funds like BlackRock are bankrolling the endless litigation against Jones with ‘blank checks’ to New York City law firms.
