Hickok45 Account Deleted?!

[Warrior1A]

His channel was the best thing on YouTube. I can't even...

 

[enbloc]

Actually maybe they should delete every account that has ever made reference to anything gun related or whatever else might scare them. That way, we can move to another video service in large numbers. The problem with the competing services now is the network effect hasn't really taken hold. Who goes first to vimeo when they want to find a video on some topic? YouTube should kick a few 10's of millions of people in the nuts until they figure it out and abandon them. I am all for that.

So maybe we can get Derek to start up Guntube.com ...

I think we need a safe space. YouTube is against the 2A unless if guns are in a movie trailer they are pushing.

Hickok45 and MST3K really are the best things on YouTube.

WTF no way.
makes no sense they would delete his account.
if so there shoukd be no question about their motives and goals: a disarmed socialist utopia. ew

Theory over on ARFCOM is that he violated the 'paid product placement, endorsement' policy...

Not sure if anyone posted this but his Facebook says:

"Apparently, Google + is more sensitive about firearms related postings and such. I never use Google+ and did not even realize the videos were being posted over there, I guess. I will keep you posted via Facebook here and the Hickok45andson channel. I have communicated with YouTube via email this morning, and hopefully, we'll be able to get the channel back up soon. I had just posted a new video.
ALSO: please stay tuned here and at the Hickok45andson channel on YouTube for any information. I cannot answer all the questions, of course, that are flowing in. I'll just have to keep you updated here as we know anything. Appreciate all the expressions of support. Thanks."

So it's not 'go time'?

Confirmed! Nice!

In! I'll even volunteer to help with technical details if needed. Actually we could expand the scope a bit and maybe call it freedomtube or something.

Sort of like the IRS going after political causes...

Nah, that would never happen!

And the Kenyan in Chief and his former AG would never have used the US Fish & Wildlife + Customs to target a known conservative CEO & owner of a guitar company- one of the only two such manufacturers in right-to-work states and not owned by card-carrying liberals. Never mind the other companies also bought semi-finished ebony fingerboards from India...

Yes, Guugle does donate to both parties but even a dummy like me can quickly determine which Dear Leader and party they worship:

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-political-donations-where-company-execs-put-their-cash/

Of course I have faith that each of these political leaders has our country's best interests in mind, and that the donations are no indication of political sway. Arguably the #1 company in control of distributing information operating in lock-step with the government- what could go wrong?

 

[marleythefish]

looks like its back up

 

[badshot101]

Back in Business! - excellent! - interesting to see if he posts any clarification on his facebook page on what happened. In any event, glad it was resolved.

Nice work everone. A solid morning of gun foruming got this resolved quickly.

If the motive is political, that's disgusting! Will the Muslim recruitment channels be deleted???

Edit: All better.

I'm so glad my consistent reaction to Google+ is "how about no? No works for me".

It's possible that it went down in a similar way to facebook pages.....AI searching out pages plus 'real people' with biased agendas.

Sorry, no can do.
It's derivative, but it's mine, heh.

(But I won't be surprised if it's been said before.

Great minds run in the same channel,
but fools think alike.

Always check the Hickok45 Youtube channel for new videos to watch in the morning before work, but this morning I couldn't find his YouTube account. When I finally found him, his YouTube page said it has been shut down for violating Google's polices multiple times. Hope this gets cleared up soon, I always liked watching his videos.

Noooooooooooo (when I read the first post)

Yessssssssssssssssss (now that it's resolved!)
