The Bizarre Video Of John McAfee Right Before His Arrest

The moment John McAfee was arrested.

Chillin' with McAfee. What a long strange trip it's been.

Around the 1:45 mark you get to hear his lawyer.  The flute playing in the final minute is classic.  And his response at 3:03 is the clincher.

Sometime last night fugitive John McAfee was arrested by the Guatemala special police for questioning regarding his illegal entry into the country.  His lawyer, Mr. Guerra, the former Attorney General, accompanied him to Emigrason Albergue in Guatemala City, and he is attempting to get John out before his press conference later today.

Here's the latest:

• McAfee Is in Guatemala City and He Just Hired the Best Lawyer in the Country
• Hacker Locates McAfee Thru Smartphone Tracks
• 'I used a body double to escape from Belize'...

It's still not apparent why anyone in the US media should be following this story. There is nothing 'special' about this Mcaffee guy that justifies the obsessive attention he's been getting. If he were still running the anti-virus company, maybe it would be appropriate, but he's been out of the a-v software business for a while.

The obsessive pursuit of this story has the stink of anglo-imperialist group think. We're all supposed to be outraged because an American is being detained by the beaner south americans? The term "banana republic" on a graphic on this website is telling.

Personally, I hope he disappears into a south american jail and is never heard from again. He is unlikeable, he is out of place, yet he seems to think he is above it all because he is an American.

At the time of this comment, he's been taken to a hospital due to a heart attack. It's all very convenient in a 'spooky' sort of way. Seems to point in the direction of unheralded activities on his part, possibly more of the usual US meddling in foreign affairs. If that's the case, then he's getting what walked into. It's like when you wear a military uniform in war; you accept the possibility of sudden, violent death. Spies, saboteurs, agents provocateurs, etc. - they don't get the privilege of a trial. Their just reward is a bullet behind the ear when they're found out. I hope he gets what he's got coming to him and we hear no more about him.

He has a nice pool though. Overlooking the beautiful blue waters of the tropical ocean. Seems he is crazier than a shithouse rat though.

What the hell has he been hunting from a boat with those guns?? Those aren't henchmen guns. Fatty can no way shoot accurately, and skinny would go overboard if he pulled his trigger!

However, if he is merely an unarmed civilian crossing the border without filling in any of the required documentation. He should get off with a reprimand or fine and at worst returned or expedited to the nation of his citizenship. Spies and saboteurs only get executed in time of war, because in peace time they make too darn great exchange pawns. (read up on the cold war for some examples)
