Gavin McInnes Arrested Or, at least, that appears to be the case, pending confirmation:
2022-08-26
[VoxDay]
Former Fox News host Gavin McInnes was apparently arrested on Thursday night after law enforcement gained access to his New York studio while he broadcast his network’s Thursday night live stream.

Shortly after his "Get Off My Lawn" live show began, police officers believed by Censored.tv subscribers to be federal agents gained access to the studio. McInnes, who founded the web network Censored.tv after being canceled on social media, was heard on the live stream having a heated verbal exchange with officers before leaving the studio. McInnes’ stream was left unattended for over an hour before it ended.

McInnes, standing at his desk, told the off camera law enforcement officers, "Yeah. Alright, I’m happy to do that. I’ll get a lawyer, and we will sit down and have a conversation. We’ll schedule a meeting, and I’ll sit down with my lawyer."

The officer’s response to McInnes was not within range of the microphone, but after he spoke McInnes replied, "I didn’t let you in."

What appear to be chirping noises made by police radios can be heard in the video, but viewers reported only silence after McInnes left the frame until the stream was taken offline.

Prior to the Thursday night incident, McInnes told viewers of Censored.tv that he had reason to believe he was under some sort of surveillance.

#9  Does the DC Swamp Coup control the _ _ _ / DOJ leadership?

Or has the _ _ _ / DOJ leadership collected enough blackmail evidence to be the New Masters?

#8  "Nicht und nebel"... Arresting him off his set is, dare we say it?, rather fascist, hmmm?

It will be interesting to hear the justifications. Did he have overdue Federal parking tickets, perhaps?

#7  According to the Huffington Post in 2019, Mr. McInnes lives (lived?) with his family in Larchmont, Westchester County, a suburb of New York City. Hence the varying descriptions of where he is, and therefore which police force has jurisdiciton. Also that the noisier of his fellow residents deeply resent his presence there, leading to the conclusion that this could have been a SWATting incident rather than federal intimidation.

48 Hour Rule.

#6  Newsweek:

Will Carless, who covers extremism for USA Today, tweeted that the local New York police force say they did not detain McInnes on Thursday so "IF he was arrested tonight, more likely Federal."

#4  Vox Day is quoting a post on Valiant News, which has been updating:

Comedian Cripp Daddy, who hosts a show for Censored TV, posted a statement explaining that he “cannot legally discuss what happened” to McInnes.



This is very strange indeed.
