Recently, people on the political left have been engineering SWAT team raids on the homes of prominent Christians and conservatives. Below, we’ll take a look at one of the Christian scholars who was raided – Larry Taunton. You might remember Larry from his public discussions with famous atheists like Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and Christopher Hitchens.

Here’s the story from Christian Post:

A Christian author and apologist who was recently “swatted” at his rural Alabama home told The Christian Post he believes the recent spate of false police reports made against conservative commentators indicates the Left is getting desperate.

Larry Alex Taunton told CP he grabbed his pistol and nearly shot a heavily armed police officer who attempted to enter his house shortly after 1 a.m. on March 17.

The local sheriff’s office in Talladega County responded in full force that morning upon fielding a call from a man who said he was trapped inside Taunton’s blood-soaked home after having been shot in the leg amid three active shooters at his residence.

As has been the case for approximately 15 other prominent conservative voices in recent weeks, the call was fake and made in an apparent attempt to instill fear and potentially instigate a lethal situation.

What’s interesting about this SWAT attempted murder against Taunton is how the police came at 1 AM with nine police cars, body armor, and assault rifles. But when they got to Larry’s house, they din’t announce themselves.

If you watch the video, you’ll see that the police do not knock, and they do not announce themselves to the homeowner. They just try to come directly into the house. In rural Alabama – a state with strong gun laws, and self-defense laws.

Larry was waiting inside with his own weapon, and he did NOT know who these people outside his house were. He says that if the attacker had opened the door, he would have opened fire:

“So here’s someone trying to breach my front door with a semi-automatic rifle without announcing himself,” he said. “I’m armed. I can see him, he cannot see me. And I’m thinking, ‘If this guy comes through my door, I will shoot him. I’m not asking questions. He’s more heavily armed than I am, and if I’m to have any chance at all, I will have to shoot first.'”

There have been a LOT of SWAT team incidents in the last month. It looks like it is a coordinated effort.

Fox News reported this:

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday revealed that the agency is investigating a recent spike in swatting incidents after several conservative media figures said they were targeted.

“I want to address the alarming rise in ‘Swatting’ incidents targeting media figures,” Patel wrote Friday morning on his social media. “The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.”

[…]Conservative podcaster Nick Sortor said Thursday on X that both his father and sister were swatted that same day.

“A dozen cops attempted to kick my dad’s door in at gunpoint,” he wrote.

[…]Sortor said the person who called the police on his father claimed he was killing his “entire family, requiring them to intervene with deadly force.”

“This is nothing short of attempted murder. They wanted the police to kill my father,” he added.

I notice that this is not the first time that leftist activists have engaged in domestic terrorism. And this is not something new. Republican politicians have been frequent victims of SWAT attacks, going back to 2023. In Wisconsin, Democrats ordered pre-dawn raids on the homes of Republicans. In 2022, the FBI raided the home of a pro-life activist. And don’t forget how Democrats just open fire on Republicans, like a Bernie Sanders supporter did with Steve Scalise. When will federal law enforcement stop these attacks?
