Man behind Ivy League 'doxxing trucks' has home searched by gun-toting SWAT team
[NYPOST] The president of Accuracy in Media — the group that deployed "doxxing trucks" to Ivy League schools mired in pro-Paleostinian controversies — had his home searched by a cadre of rifle-toting SWAT officers in the early hours of Friday, The Post has learned.

Accuracy in Media boss Adam Guillette was away from his North Florida home when he received a call from local authorities Friday notifying him that officers had searched his home around 1:30 a.m. after receiving a call falsely claiming that Guillette was at home and pointing a gun at his wife’s head.
Isn’t that how doxxing used to be defined before the trucks made their rounds? Driving around campus and parking quietly in front of houses is not at all the same thing as getting armed and nervous SWAT teams to break into someone’s home, when any of the parties present might do something regrettable.
Guillette, who was out of town with his wife to attend a wedding in Texas, told The Post that he believes someone lied to the cops "to get me killed" in response to Accuracy in Media’s recent campaign that saw box trucks outfitted with billboards exposing students and faculty allegedly involved in "horribly hateful, antisemitic proclamations" at Harvard, Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania.

In security camera footage from Guillette’s home shared exclusively with The Post, officers with rifles strapped to their chests are seen knocking on Guillette’s door.

When no one answers, one officer gains access through the digital security lock.

After throwing the door open, two officers say, "Sheriff’s office," with their guns in shooting positions before walking into the house, kicking over packages as they step inside.

In another clip, an officer is seen opening the coat closet by the front door, while cameras situated to show the back of the house show two cops patrolling the backyard with their guns at the ready.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels...
it appears that a third officer is inside searching with a flashlight.

Guillette, who asked that his county of residence not be disclosed, told The Post that he was later informed there were a total of six SWAT officers deployed to his house.

It wasn’t immediately clear who made the phone call to the cops that triggered the search, and Guillette said his "attorneys are going to look into it to try to trace it."

The Florida county sheriff’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

"I’ve been getting threatening phone calls, emails, social media messages nonstop since our antisemitism accountability project began," Guillette said, adding that he "takes serious precaution to ensure the safety" of him and his wife, who he said has been "incredibly supportive" of Accuracy in Media’s work.

"If you antagonize enough antisemites, they will call law enforcement and tell them you have a gun to your wife’s head. Then a SWAT team shows up. Thankfully, we’re out of town," Guillette captioned a photo on social media of two gun-toting officers entering his home.

However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
Guillette is "not going to be intimidated or bullied, and this is a great reminder of why we need to double down on our efforts," the Accuracy in Media president said of the nonprofit’s campaign.

That campaign began as early as Oct. 11, when a so-called "doxxing truck" made a surprise appearance on Harvard University’s Cambridge, Mass., campus displaying the names and photos of students who allegedly signed a letter saying Israelis were "entirely responsible" for Hamas
...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
violent mostly peaceful attacks.

Giant video screens hung on the sides and back of the truck display the words "Harvard’s Leading Antisemites" in gothic script over a slideshow of Ivy Leaguers’ headshots and names in bold, red block letters.

Accuracy in Media’s campaign expanded just this week, when that truck began making stops outside the homes of some students who allegedly held leadership positions in some of the 34 Harvard groups that co-signed the anti-Israel statement that failed to explicitly condemn Hamas.

After idling in front of the Boston-area home of a 20-year-old female Harvard student on Wednesday, a similar truck parked outside a Harvard student’s residence in Vermont, near Burlington, on Thursday, when the driver was reportedly threatened, Guillette said.

Guillette said he told the driver to "keep his safety in check," and the truck was deployed to another Vermont home where a Harvard student reportedly lives on Friday.

And as of Wednesday, a similar truck was deployed to Columbia University, with the same gothic script and a slideshow of Ivy Leaguers’ headshots and names allegedly involved in "a horribly hateful, antisemitic proclamation," Guillette told The Post earlier this week.

A passerby threw a bike lock at the truck when it reappeared at Columbia’s New York campus on Thursday, Guillette said, though damage to the LED screen was minimal.

By the end of the day, someone else had spray-painted the side of the truck, which Guillette said the driver was working to remove.

Another Accuracy in Media "doxxing truck" appeared in Philadelphia this week at the UPenn campus — another Ivy League school that’s faced fierce blowback over its lack of support for Israel after playing host to a pro-Paleostinian literary conference.

The truck circled UPenn’s campus and blasted school president Elizabeth Magill, picturing her on a red screen that read: "Condemn antisemitism on your campus or RESIGN."

"Magill is creating an environment where hatred, racism and antisemitism can flourish," Guillette said.

The doxxing trucks at Columbia and UPenn were back at their respective campuses on Friday, per Guillette.

And here I thought that the fashion for anonymous denunciations went out with Soviet Union.

#4 p.s. The habit of sending a SWAT team should stop.

#5 A Police State's gotta have it's guns and gear. Don't forget the green pickle suit and matching NOMEX aviator gloves with the snipped trigger finger (graphic).

#7 Certainly there is a legitimate reason for SWAT teams. The issue is leftists.

#8 #1 you know that by 1944-45 we were bombing the s**t out of the Germans and Japanese. We weren't too concerned about women and children on the receiving end at that point. The barbarism displayed by the enemy removed any compulsion to extend the civilized rules of warfare to them. It's the old, do on to others as they have done upon you.

#9 When the Germans were executing Canadian POWs in Normandy, they were dealing with French civilians just a savagely. Those who show no quarter should expect none in return.

#10 He was SWAT'ed a serious Felony.
When should we expect an arrest for it?
Heaven knows, swatting has resulted in some serious injuries to innocent people.
