Still no word that I’ve been able to find. Nothing on the conservative radio stations, Twitter… same week MTG gets double swatted & 2 weeks after Trump home raid . ..total coincidence, I’m sure.

Can someone give me the cliff notes on Gavin McGinnis and separately the proud boys. Did a quick google, said he had disssociated himself from proud boys - a group labeled as a terrorist organization in Canada. Gavin and the Proud Boys have been ostracized for Hate Speech (hello, it's still FREE SPEECH).

Is this Left Wing bullshite, or are he and the proud boys truly bad people?

I only vaguely know about him and the PB.. I haven’t really followed his career closely . Generally associate him with the conservative movement. seems to be a little bit of a loose cannon, but I don’t know how much of that is part of his persona or that’s really how he is. Haven’t found any information one way or the other why he was arrested , which I find weird.

I've seen too many videos of the PB beating the living shite out of anqueefers, to ever label the PB as "bad people".

I've heard from the MSM Propaganda Machine Complex, how PB are "white supremacists" but I see that their leadership has been POC. They're pretty ineffectual "racists" since that's the case, but "bad people"? Nah.

I've heard that they're lawless, anarchist, heavily armed "right-wing militants", but I see them bare knuckle brawling against anqueefers who use bike locks, chains, pepper spray and "concrete milkshakes" on unarmed citizens. Nah, PB not bad people there, either.

I'm sure it's not exactly an organization of choir boys by any means, but PB just seem to be an "Anti-Anqueefa" group to me. Everything that the anqueefers are, PB is the antithesis of it. The common denominator that they share, is willingness to meet in public and get violent. The difference in that area, is that the anqueefers will get violent using rudimentary, improvised weapons when they outnumber their victims 20 to 1... while the PB will send in a lone bulldozer Samoan dude to absolutely flatten an entire crowd of anqueefer figs with only his fists.

If you're gonna call the PB "terrorists" and "bad people", then it's only fair to call the anqueefers a mixture of the Third Reich and the Army of Satan.

Proud Boys Founder Gavin McInnes Interrupted Mid-Show, Sparks Theories - Newsweek

quote:
Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes is the subject of online speculation after his show was interrupted live on air Thursday night, with some people close to him claiming he was arrested.

McInnes, who left the far-right group in 2018, was seen talking to unidentified people off camera during Thursday's live broadcast on his Censored.TV show before getting up and leaving, apparently to go with whoever was speaking to him off-screen.

"We're shooting a show, can we do this another time?" McIness asked. "Alright I'm happy to do that, I'll go get a lawyer and we will sit down and have a conversation, we'll schedule a meeting."

McInnes then walked off-screen. The broadcast kept going with an empty set for at least 30 minutes after McIness left.

It has not been confirmed what the interruption was about, or if it was genuine.

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."

An FBI spokesperson told Newsweek that they could not comment.

Carless also noted that McInnes previously told his audience during one of his previous shows that he had spotted an unmarked police car outside of his home.

"Possible set up for a prank? Or premonition of something else?" Carless tweeted.

Will Sommer, who covers politics and extremism for The Daily Beast, later tweeted: "Roughly 12 hours since Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes disappeared during a live broadcast of his show, and it's still not clear whether it's a prank, he was arrested, or something else happened. No confirmation from any law enforcement agencies so far."

Comedian Josh Denny, who also works at Censored.TV, claimed that McIness had been arrested and was currently in custody at an unnamed location.

"Just got off the phone with our people. It's not a bit," Denny tweeted.

Denny also claimed the arrest occured after McInnes spoke out against the Proud Boys attending the January 6 protests in Washington D.C. and the white supremacist "unite the right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.

"But he's rotting away in jail because he dared to question authority," Denny added.

In a follow-up tweet, Denny denied that McInnes had planned to leave his show mid-broadcast as a stunt after one Twitter shared a clip of McInnes appearing to admit that he would not "be around" next week.

In a post in Telegram on Thursday evening before his show was broadcast, McIness wrote: "Just took a DNA test, turns out I'm 100 percent white—even when I'm crying crazy. Yeah, I got law problems, that's the human in me."

McInnes set up Censored.TV in 2019 after departing from Glenn Beck's BlazeTV the previous year.

Really weird how no one is talking bout this in the national media. Not that I heard, at least. Not Gorka (who was out Thurs-Fri for a medical issue, will be back Monday). Ben Shapiro was out on Friday as well. But during another livestream, an associate who allegedly knows "something" stated they couldn't talk about it.

I'm leaning toward 'bit', but hell...

I guess they are seen as the fascist by antifa, you know, the people that dress in black and harass women and children.

quote:
Mr. McInnes admits that he may be Islamaphobic (“It’s seen as xenophobic to be worried about Islam, but they appear to disproportionately allow intolerance to blossom in their communities,” he said.) He also acknowledged being something of a sexist. (“I’m an Archie Bunker sexist,” he said. “I don’t like Gloria Steinem, but I’d take a bullet for Edith.”)

quote:
Their disavowals of bigotry are belied by their actions,” the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit organization that tracks extremist groups, wrote in an online memo labeling the Proud Boys as a hate group. “Rank-and-file Proud Boys and leaders regularly spout white nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists. They are known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric.”
