"Anonymous hacker, commentator, journalist and fameball Barrett Brown was arrested in a dramatic takedown last night live and on camera, in the middle of a TinyChat with a dozen others.\nThe shirtless and relaxed Brown is sitting in the dark with his girlfriend, teasing an attractive chat member about being a GIF instead of a real person, when he evidently hears something and goes off camera. His girlfriend evidently shut off the webcam, but the audio continued to run, capturing what sounds like a very agitated Brown having a shout-off with officers who react with predictable physicality.\n\n\n\ndating @barrettbrownlol is the BIGGEST JIHAD EVER\u2014 Elvira_ebooks (@ElviraXMontana) September 13, 2012\n\n\n\nA few hours earlier, Brown had posted a YouTube video threatening to knife any FBI agent who bothered him or his mother.\n\n\n\nYup Barret wins the interwebs hands down with that vid. #epic #shuterdownthiscantbetopped\u2014 TacticalIntelligence (@Tactical_Intel) September 13, 2012\n\n\n\nAnonymous, who both loves Brown\u2019s ability to get them good press and loathes his self-appointed position as unofficial spokesman of Anonymous, quickly went to work. Naturally someone had been recording the whole thing (it\u2019s not clear exactly who at this point) and the video was quickly distributed via Mediafire. \u201CHe\u2019d want it this way,\u201D said the uploader. Not long after that, someone else posted a cleaned-up version of the audio, the better to transcribe it. Then, the transcript was uploaded to Pastebin, making this one of the most thoroughly covered arrests in multimedia. Expect a GIF any minute now.\nWhile the Dallas County prisoner lookup initially showed Brown to be in custody, an hour later it returned no results for Brown, Barrett, white male. According to the original report, when booked he gave his country of citizenship as \u201CNone.\u201D His mother reportedly says that his arraignment will be in the morning.\nSome weren\u2019t worried. \u201CCool how the FBI staged @BarrettBrownLOL's arrest live on cam to bolster the idea he hasn't been working for them for some time already,\u201D said Methadonna on Twitter, voicing the suspicions of many. \u201CColor me skeptical; too many coincidences. I'm leaning on this being LE [Law Enforcement] theatre,\u201D said Tactical Intelligence.\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
