From their perspective, they have someone that's a far right extremist in their eyes. That's why they interviewed him. He's been trained as a soldier. He's made his upset known very publicly(rightfully so). Plans to travel across the world to confront Jim/comedy central.

He's publicly denounced violence repeatedly and is only confronting a person who set him up. It's not normal to treat veterans as possible terrorists because they hold non-mainstream political views. It's not like he's advocating Nazism or something.

Sure, security companies for large corporations and celebrities are notoriously trusting of trained marksmen that form a month long anger campaign and then announce that they plan to stalk their clients from the other side of the world to attempt some sort of confrontation.

I'm not saying that there's not fuckery afoot and weren't also trying to further silence Avi. But they also had plenty of basis for a legit complaint to police that would have led to this result.

Disagreeing isn’t a basis - sorry. I don’t like Avis views but they have no basis. No record. No history - nothing. They’ve let in far worse people than Avi.

We're not talking about other people. Comedy central/jim management would have made a complaint. If everything was in order he would have gotten in. Unless you are claiming some sort of conspiracy whereby Comedy central have power over the fbi and border security.

So are you saying anyone can just ring the FBI without evidence and get someone banned from a country they went to recently? Sounds dubious....

No, that's what you are saying. I'm just giving the simplest and most obvious explanation for the series of events. Like I said, I've pretty much covered what I think in the thread.

Well, you don’t need the FBI for non-violent people who have visited your country before. And after what I saw with Smollett I have zero trust in the authorities where members of Hollywood are concerned. Same for OJ Simpson.

So you do believe comedy central can directly force the fbi to do their bidding? Thats pretty out there.

Are you strawmanning? That’s not very cool. I think Hollywood carries more weight than joe blow. And Smollett and OJ Simpson are cases in point. That is not an unreasonable thing to say at all.

I dont think im strawmanning, just clarifying since youre not making a definitive claim. Tell me what exactly you are claiming then.
