REVOK GETS SNATCHED BY AUSSIE COPS

"on my way to the airport... can't get on that plane fast enough!!!11:19 PM Oct 27th" those were the last words that REVOK Tweeted 10/27, on his way to airport in Melbourne, Australia.
The coppers down-under had been watching REVOKs Tweets, hardcore and were waiting to snatch him up, as the attached video so cleverly diagrams. I don't know 'bout you, but that girlie news reporter is hella hot!
On 10/26, for those of you that follow his Tweets, you could see that some shit was about to drop (as REVOKs post reads) "I CANT FUCKING WAIT TO GET ON THAT PLANE TOMORROW". 11:22 PM Oct 26th.
Homeboy was originally slated for the postponed Clash of the Titans/IRONLAK gig that went sour was various reasons.
REVOK is the fucking man! He did some serious damage (like that 80's Aussie band sang) 'in the land down under'! Hit his website. Buy some gear from his webstore. He's gotta pay some fines.
