I'm Pretty Sure Logan Paul Just Apologized For Telling Kids To Do The Tide Pod Challenge By Making A Citizen’s Arrest
Source - Only a little over a month after he was forced to go into hiding after posting a horrendous video of a dead body hanging in a woodland commonly known as the Japanese ‘suicide forest’, the YouTube vlogger has waded into the internet’s burgeoning ‘trend’ of the Tide Pod Challenge. A couple of days ago he tweeted: ‘Swallowing 1 tide pod per retweet.’ At time of writing the post had 43,000 retweets – that’s not good.
What a wild few months for our friend Logan Paul. First, it was the viral suicide forest video followed by the fake apology on GMA. Then the other suicide jokes on Cardi B’s Instagram followed by another fake apology. Then he went on a skydiving trip where his chute didn’t open but somehow survived. And now he’s tweeting out Tide Pods challenges to his 4.23 million followers. Except instead of apologizing for his actions he’s making citizens’ arrests to distract from them. Here are the tweets:
If Logan had actually swallowed fifty-nine-thousand Tide-Pods I would’ve been much happier writing this blog. Unfortunately, he didn’t, so here I am. Not only is it wildly irresponsible for him to encourage thousands of his (very young) fans to eat detergent, he’s about two months too late. Which makes it all the more pathetic. He took a significant amount of backlash on the internet which leads to part two of this blog: the citizens’ arrest.
Source – Logan Paul took the law into his own hands Tuesday night … making a citizen’s arrest after a guy broke into his home.
Logan, who’s had his own problems with that infamous suicide video he shot and posted to his YouTube page, returned to his San Fernando Valley home at around 10 PM to find a dude on his couch. Not to say the guy was ballsy, but he was charging his phone in the living room!
Law enforcement tells us the guy knew it was Logan’s house and just wanted to meet him. He entered through the unlocked front door. We’re told several people were inside, upstairs, but they didn’t come down because they thought it was Logan.
Police were called, Logan made the citizen’s arrest and the guy was booked for criminal trespass.
Were the two connected? I don’t know. But for a guy who’s made his living off of making headlines I wouldn’t put it past him. This seems like he was kind of apologizing. “How could you possibly be mad at me? I stopped a bad guy!” Whatever the case, I’m going to assume that it was staged for a number of reasons. First is because Logan loves attention. It doesn’t matter who you are if you citizen arrest someone, you’re going to make headlines. Whether or not that’s bad is up to you.
Second is because there’s no way that burglary doesn’t turn into a murder once the suspect realizes it’s Logan Paul. The humiliation factor alone is enough to drive someone to kill. Imagine trying to live with yourself after getting pinned down by this guy.
No thanks. I’ll take life in prison over that level of embarrassment any day. I want to say that I’m not going to write about him anymore but at this point I can’t make any promises. He’s too stupid not to cover.
