Unclear at this time what has actually happened to Gavin McInnes, and where he is.  People connected to him say it’s not a hoax, he was legit arrested by feds.  But no clear info on the charges.

The federal government is scum.

I hope everything is ok with Gavin.

I guess we'll need to wait until there is more info either way, but it's interesting that for certain political persuasions, the FBI sure likes to make a spectacle. From the story, it certainly appears as if they could have waited till the end of his podcast. Hauling him off mid-broadcast is theater. Given other stuff they've been doing, I'm not sure it's theater they want. The "KGB" tag for them is becoming more and more appropriate.
