Ok, well I have a lot of problems with this article and the headline "police arrest Gavin McInness"

Nothing in the article supported any arrest,

Former Fox News host Gavin McInnes was apparently arrested

Huh

police officers believed by Censored.tv subscribers to be federal agents gained access to the studio

Ok

viewers reported only silence after McInnes left the frame until the stream was taken offline

I'm not seeing any evidence of an arrest.

Can’t find any reputable source to confirm he was arrested. I’m leaning towards it was a swatting.

Edit: gateway pundit is now saying he was arrested. They’ve had issues, but they are the most reputable I’ve seen now, and generally they get the basis of a story correct.

Does that make it any better? Either way the police are being weaponized.

I didn’t say it was, although I suppose for Gavin it’s probably easier to calm down an aggressive retarded cop who is breaking into his home looking to kill someone committing a murder that isn’t happening, than to calm down an aggressive retarded cop who is breaking into his home and will arrest him no matter what Gavin says because (((they))) told the cops Gavin is literally Hitler.

Is there anywhere but the_donald where GWP is treated as "reputable"? Back in the day they used to ban GWP articles for using the forum for grift marketing basically. Back when they all loved Bill Mitchell and there was an actual southern border being established. A lot has happened since the early Trump days, and almost as much gets gaslit.

You put reputable in quotes so not sure what you mean, but even on TD people still whine about their clickbait and weak evidence sometimes. Like any website trust but verify. I do follow a Japanese YouTuber who gets her American political news from GWP. I guess she's a Trump fan or something.

I put quotes around it to signal that it isn't my personal opinion that it should be referred to as reputable, that's all. It's not the worst though, the internet is full of real trash.

Yeah they are pretty fucking trash. But so far it’s better than the 30 A.I. generated websites copying/pasting the same text.

I imagine Timcast IRL is probably researching it for their show tonight, so we should get some confirmation at least by then if no one else can confirm it

There is the part where his touring partner Josh Denny says "he’s rotting away in jail..."

I guess you don't believe him, but that wording does indicate that McInnes was arrested, because that is how one ends up in jail.

There's no specific evidence of an arrest, but the article does support the plausibility of an arrest. If he's in jail, that livestream incident was probably where he was arrested.

What sort of evidence would actually convince you?
