Controversial YouTube comedian Jordan Shanks-Markovina, better known as Friendlyjordies, is taking an “indefinite hiatus” from producing videos after his home was set on fire in what police believe was a deliberate arson attack this week.

Controversial YouTube comedian Jordan Shanks-Markovina, better known as Friendlyjordies, is taking an “indefinite hiatus” from producing videos after his home in Sydney’s eastern suburbs was set on fire in what police believe was a deliberate arson attack this week.

“I think we’re going to just tone back on the videos for a bit and, by tone back, I mean that’s it for a while for obvious reasons. [I’ll] get back to it at some point, but for now Friendlyjordies is on an indefinite hiatus,” he told his 632,000 subscribers. Shanks-Markovina had misplaced his key on Wednesday, so was not home at the time of the arson attack just after midnight.The Sydney Morning Herald

Speaking to the press on Wednesday as he arrived at the home, Shanks-Markovina said he had a “long list of suspects” based on his work, which has included videos on former deputy Premier John Barilaro, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews and the “Worst Cash Converters in Australia”.“We’ve done some extremely dangerous reporting over the last year on a bunch of extremely powerful people and corporations, there are many people that would want to do that [arson],” he said.

“based on his work, which has included videos on… …Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews” I may not have the full FJ catalogue in my head but I believe this video was released after the incident.

Controversial? Lol

I mean, if he dressed in a Mario outfit and did his 'bruz' bit on Lygon Street, he would've likely suffered worse. Hiding behind a keyboard doesn't absolve you of the parasites of the world. Arrogant kid, lesson learnt.

They couldn't prove his claims wrong. They couldn't stop him with heavy legal tactics. So now this. Weak as water and makes them look even more guilty of the things he claimed they did.

Not controversial

I don't agree with a lot of Jordan's opinions, but there are better ways to voice your dissaproval than burning the man's home down. Utterly ridiculous from whoever did this.

They tried to kill him and The AGE shares his address. How evil.
