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.
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.
