The Independent reports:
Proud Boys founder and far-right agitator Gavin McInnes was interrupted and disappeared during a livestream last night, with allies reporting that he had been arrested – possibly by the FBI.
Mr McInnes, a notoriously misogynistic, racist and homophobic activist who pioneered a now-familiar style of violent right-wing organisation blended with internet troll-style intellectual posturing, was hosting his Get Off My Lawn show on Thursday when unidentified people apparently entered his studio.
He rose from his chair without switching off his microphone and began speaking to someone off-camera.

@crabcrawler1 I downloaded the audio from this clip that was posted and amplified it with noise correction. At :45 you can hear “warrant” and at about 1:08 someone says “Federal Investigator” and what sounds like “arresting you.” You can hear police radios. https://t.co/yqNNSCrgSA

New: Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes just interrupted his live show – seems a raid by FBI. “Can we do this another time?” “I’ll get a lawyer and we’ll sit down…”. (h/t @chadloder) Recall: McInnes was partnered with the just-raided Russia-sponsored Black Hammer group in GA. 1/ https://t.co/YrHHpqg0CX

Been seeing another clip going around, but this has more context as to what happened before Ryan let them in. He actually told Ryan “don’t let them in” pic.twitter.com/034JLTBNuB

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.

Just got off the phone with our people.
It’s not a bit.
Gavin was AGAINST going to Jan 6. He was AGAINST Charlottesville (and told Proud Boys they were out of the club if they went) but he’s rotting away in jail because he dared to question authority.

What I enjoy about Gavin McInnes fans is the intellectual rigor and quality of character pic.twitter.com/htI3Jkn5Lq

Just a quick reminder that:
1) Gavin McInnes was born in the UK,
2) is a Canadian citizen,
3) is in the US on a Green Card, and
4) is the founder of the Proud Boys, which Canada now classifies as a terrorist group.

Comedian with a show on Gavin McInnes’s website says the Proud Boys founder really was arrested last night. https://t.co/in5jt2wkz3
