I hate Nick Fuentes and his content, but her story is suspicious. I find it very strange that she took it upon herself to learn where his house is, go there, and try to talk to the guy. If the roles were reversed, a MAGA supporter showing up at a liberal public figure’s home, I think people would interpret it as harassment.

That said, I don’t understand how this was a legal use of pepper spray. If she really only said “hello” and did not try to advance into the house, then I don’t think he could reasonably argue he felt threatened with bodily harm in any way.

That’s an issue for court to decide though. I imagine the truth lies in the full video.

It turns out in America it's surprisingly easy to get away with pepper spraying people. There's a weird YouTube rabbit hole of "free speech auditors" who go around doing things they're legally allowed to do but are shitty to get reactions. They escalate things until they pepper spray the person they're aggravating. Even in their own videos cops show up and basically just shrug. I think the logic is that since it doesn't cause any long term damage that a lawyer can pretty easily argue it was a "reasonable force"

Short answer: I'd be surprised if he suffers any consequences from this

Learning where his house is would take no effort as he's been so thoroughly doxxed even I saw his address and I'm basically that meme of the old lady peering at the screen through my granny-glasses.

A perfect alpha male, frightened to death at a woman saying "Hello" while he's still in the safety of his house. Compare that to the women who ovary up and keep going while they're being catcalled, or make the potentially life-threatening decision to say either yes or no to a strange man in a bar.

Rose said online that she told an officer she’d been assaulted and the cop said, “Well, you went to his door.”

Clearly the rule of law is dead now.

“Nobody should be turning up at any bodies [sic] house uninvited,” Tate posted Monday. “Harassment.”

These idiots somehow think that assaulting and robbing someone who rings their doorbell is the appropriate thing to do.

The alt-right reaction is never the right reaction.

Somebody better alert the Girl Scouts.

Oh it might be one of the people he threatened to rape

Please do not go to his fucking house.

He's a piece of shit - don't go to jail for him.

Do not go to his house in Berwyn, IL. You will not be able to find it on Google maps because it's the only house on the block that's blurred out.

Absolutely do not go to his house at all hours of the day and night. Do not look out for cops when you dont go to his house. Do not legally knock on his door.

And most of all, DO NOT make him feel the same fear that his words have brought to so many women.

Do not gather a group of like-minded people and go together.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 day ago

Don't walk around the block, using public sidewalks that would evade trespassing. That would look like prey being circled and the resident of Berwyn IL doesn't want to be nervous. Crowds saying one name circling the block would be too much for them!

Rape jokes still are not funny.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago

I didn't even notice the rape joke.

I read it as getting knifed.
