He and his family are OK. He just put up the tweet minutes ago:
Sheriff is at my house. Someone spoofed my phone number and said someone had been shot at my house.

I asked him if he was serious and he said yes. He said that he is OK, though. After he started writing about Kimberlin, he told the local Sheriff’s Department to expect this might happen:
There are ways of tracing this back to the real source.
It all depends on whether there is enough rule of law left.
It seems as though the rule of men has begun in its place.
But we’ll see.
Former DOJ Attorney: Eric Holder Could Stop SWATings ‘in 48 Hours’
Of course Holder won’t.
The only people who have been SWATted have been conservatives….and whites.
I think a good idea would be to attend the motorcycle event at Sturgis, SD. Seek out a group of individuals known for the fun and flair and ask them to deliver a message to Mr. Kimberlin. 25 or so Harleys on your front yard is usually a clear message.
@Nan G:
It might not be that easy. If someone has the technical skills to spoof a calling phone number (which is what was done here, as I understand it), it becomes harder to find the perp.
Now mind you, Erickson is not the first person targeted. They also went after Patterico, see here:
. He’s a prosecutor (maybe ex-prosecutor? not sure) and had some voice analysis done on one of the tapes.
