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.

        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?

      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

    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.

      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…
