Summary

Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes faces a battery charge for allegedly pepper-spraying and shoving a woman, Marla Rose, outside his Illinois home on Nov. 10.

Rose claims she visited his house after his viral “Your body, my choice” abortion post and was assaulted, with her phone damaged.

Fuentes, arrested and released the same day, cited safety fears over doxxing and death threats. Police confirmed no visible injuries but noted witness accounts.

Fuentes’ court date is Dec. 19, and Rose has hinted at pursuing a civil case.

    He told police that since he “posted a political joke online,” he has faced death threats

    These fucking people with their “only joking” bullshit. Edge lords and cowards. Taunt and taunt, and when the other kid punches you, go whining to teacher.

      If you’re gonna be a dragon, don’t be surprised when knights show up to slay you.

        I agree with the sentiment, but I think a dragon (even an evil one) has too much prestige… Could we go with “swamp oaf” or maybe “putrid ghoul” instead?

        More like " if you are going to be a public nuisance, don’t be surprised when plucky adventurers show up to confront you."

      Same reason why “I’m just asking questions” is so annoying. It’s a fantastic way to guide the conversation and normalize batshit crazy topics. These people either do or don’t realize they’re walking propaganda; either way, they’re shit people.

      Also, the fact that this guy, who is so macho and so obviously a true specimen of an “alpha male” (lol at the entire notion of comparing us to wolves based on faulty information about both humans and wolves, but I digress…) but they freaks out when a mere GURL shows up at his doorstep?

      These fucking people. My guess is that Nicky catches and is deep in the closet and that explains his hatred of normal Americans and women in general.

        There was recently a leaked video allegedly of Nick getting a blowski from one of his counterparts on the left. I don’t know if it was ever confirmed to be Nick but I really don’t have a hard time believing it

      Free speech means the government can’t retaliate against you for what you say. That’s it. Any other consequences are on you.

    I’m a bit surprised the battery charges are sticking considering that Illinois does have castle doctrine laws. As always, I’d encourage absolutely no one to go to anyone’s personal how because there’s usually a pretty significant imbalance in the penalties on violence (the home owner can usually inflict significant violence on unwanted visitors without penalties).

    By contrast, if you protest in a public place both parties face the same penalties for violence.

    I know Nick Fuentes is a thoroughly shitty person, don’t receive permanent injury or jail time for him.

      outside his Illinois home

      Castle Doctrine doesn’t apply on the sidewalk or street in front of your house.

        It wasn’t on the sidewalk or street. It was on his doorstep. However, I’m pretty sure that walking to the door of someone’s house and knocking on it doesn’t present a threat to the occupants of the house.

        Edit: I am told that it wasn’t a knock, but a doorbell ring. This could be important, as the presence of a doorbell may amount to an invitation to press it.

        It may if you feel threatened in your home. There have been rulings both ways. A classic example is drive-by shootings where the other party never leaves city property but still clearly threatens bodily harm.

        My main point though is that going to someone’s private property puts you at a severe legal disadvantage.

          In this case no anyone can come up to the front door and you still have to be in reasonable fear for your safety and admitting strangers at his door make him fearful generally well ruin his image, it’s on video too.

            The video certainly helps and is likely to be stronger. However, castle doctrine or not, any jury is going to view this instance of going to their home as an aggressive act.

            That doesn’t mean he can just get away with whatever he wants, but it does make it easier.

              Is the mailman aggressive? Girl scouts? Mormons?

              Anyone can approach your door and knock, if you’re truly that scared you’d probably put up a fence and a no trespass sign. He did neither, he just sprays them and goes inside.

                I think the point is that she was there specifically to confront him about it. If you plan on confronting someone, it’s safer for you to do so on neutral ground, so the penalty of anyone escalating the confrontation to something physical is the same. No one is protected or at more risk. Although, of course, if the person you want to confront has more money, they will always be at more advantage. But no sense tipping it even more in their favor.

                  Sure, but what was she supposed to do, stalk him till he was somewhere more neutral then confront him? Send him a letter with a time and place to air her grievances? Like, going up to someone’s door and saying things isn’t unreasonable.

                  Yeah that’s what people have done since the dawn of the door. Shitty people avoid others because they don’t want to deal with their shittiness so you often have to track them down like a goddamn bounty hunter.

      Probably bullshit? Even if it was real, they’d only lose credibility with people who don’t pay attention. Fuentes is definitely gay, and destiny was (at least a few years ago) civility-pilled enough to fuck a nazi.

      Kind of a shrug scenario.

      Sure, it’s interesting, but maybe people like to talk about something else? Not every conversation about someone needs to be about the top most notorious thing about them.

      That being said…

      1 horsepower hour. Or roughly 15 horses for an hour.

      Edit: Actually I think I said that backwards 1/15 of a horse per hour. So like a leg of horse.
