As Twitchy told you, earlier this morning, David Hogg’s home was SWAT-ted. Fortunately, Hogg was in D.C. with his mother, because this could’ve ended very, very badly. SWAT-ting is no joke. So … why is David Hogg treating it like one?

"Swatting" prank reported at home of Parkland teen activist David Hogg, who was out of town at the time. https://t.co/TMzv5XPk28 pic.twitter.com/tPnolQ2Egx — ABC News (@ABC) June 5, 2018

We’d give ABC News a hard time for calling it a “prank” — except that’s what Hogg is calling it, too:

“The swatting incident was just a silly prank," Hogg tells @ABC. "It’s not going to take our focus off what we’re super excited about—the March For Our Lives bus tour to get young people to vote and promote gun law reform." https://t.co/BvGCtEyWnb — ABC News (@ABC) June 5, 2018

Just a “silly prank”? Sorry, what?!

I’m really impressed with how he handled this. Very mature. And he focuses any attention that happens to be about him on their initiative. Awesome! — MedStudent2.0 (@SarcasticLatte) June 5, 2018

No, see, that’s not normal. People could’ve been killed. Hogg’s got plenty of opportunities to pivot to his cause; this is not one of them.

he…he knows people have died from swatting right — BigMcLrgHuge (@BigMcLrgHuge) June 5, 2018

it's not a prank, it's attempted murder — jordan? (@bbyxplicit) June 5, 2018

The fact that Hogg is calling someone who swatted his home “a silly prank” is concerning. There is nothing “silly” about this unless it was done for publicity purposes. And even then, it is still a horrific abuse of police resources. Nothing “silly” here. https://t.co/KwyFC3j9M1 — Liberty (@LibertyJen) June 5, 2018

I'm not fond of this young man politically but he needs be more angry about this — Ann Marie (@AnnMarieZ8) June 5, 2018

Further proving this kid has no grasp on reality. — Jim (@Ifitsthisname) June 5, 2018

If our home had just been SWAT-ted, we’d be terrified. Unless it’s some sort of weird coping mechanism, we’re not sure why Hogg is downplaying what happened, particularly given what he’s been through.

If someone swatted my house, the last thing I'd be doing is 1) calling it a silly prank trying to downplay the attempted murder someone just pulled on me and 2) pivot to my "cause." — RBe (@RBPundit) June 5, 2018

Hogg's reaction is not that of a normal person. Something's up. — RBe (@RBPundit) June 5, 2018

I just don't think anyone who had this done to them would write it off as a silly prank. It's just not a normal reaction. https://t.co/gcqdF2GJcD — RBe (@RBPundit) June 5, 2018

No matter what, we’re just grateful that no one was hurt. But man, this is is weird.

1. I am truly glad he’s safe.

2. This stinks to high heaven. — Amelia (@AmeliaHammy) June 5, 2018
