This happened a few blocks from where I work. The lady who "struck" the other clown, er lady is now having to go to court to defend herself. It should get laughed out of court.
The lady who did the swatting was trying to get the Mayor of the city ousted. This is the same city, Carson, California, that had a big corruption scandal in city hall. You would think they would be more concerned about running their city cleanly than some lady with a shriek like R2-D2.

Three years ago, Daryl Sweeney, Carson's colorful and popular mayor, was sentenced to 71 months in prison for acting as ringleader in a bribery scheme involving the city's biggest trash hauler.
Sweeney and other city leaders sold their votes for $600,000 — which officials at Browning/Ferris Industries agreed to pay to land a 10-year, $60 million contract.
Sweeney was the first of two mayors and two council members nabbed during a secret federal probe launched in 2000. Former council members Raunda Frank and Manuel Ontal pleaded guilty, along with former mayor Pete Fajardo.
Their conversations, taped when a council member wore a wire, only confirmed what Carson residents suspected all along — something was rotten at City Hall. Residents had long complained that the City Council spent hours in meetings closed to the public, forcing residents to "wait hours to speak," recalls Sharon Gilpin, who has worked as a political consultant for DeWitt. When the council emerged from its closed-door meetings, its public votes were like "a dance" in which "the motions were passed in seconds."
