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.

But with just enough narrative spin aka "journalistical freedomses" this poor man is being persecuted for exercising free speech. The radical feminist left has harassed this man for simply using his constitutional rights. /s

No pearl left unclutched.

Remember that cops have no duty to protect. Every time you see a cop protecting a nazi, that cop chose to protect that nazi.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Well of course, otherwise who’s gonna protect him when it’s his turn to wear the white robe instead of the blue shirt?

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 week ago

Please do not go to his fucking house.

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

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 105 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] flicker@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

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

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week 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!

Do not leave letters in the neighbors' mailboxes informing them that a neo Nazi lives by them. Do not elaborate on his history of violent rhetoric. Do not do anything that would make him feel like an outcast in his neighborhood.

Do not print this information along with his name, address, and photo and give it to every store, restaurant, and fast food place in a 20 mile radius. Especially avoid letting the underpaid staff know about any of this. We DO NOT want him to receive poor service wherever he goes. It would be BAD if he was scared to leave the house. It would be EVEN WORSE if his GrubHub driver crushed or shook his meal. I would HATE to hear that his address got blacklisted for delivery.

And certainly don’t use Apple Maps to look at the property in question in its full glory with no blur.

In jail: his body, their choice.

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 58 points 1 week ago

Rape jokes still are not funny.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 31 points 1 week ago

I didn't even notice the rape joke.

I read it as getting knifed.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I won't be shedding any tears for the guy who started the "your body, my choice" meme.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I read it as a jail thing. His body in jail because of their (jury) choice.

But now I realize it was probably rape.

I want to give all women tazers so they can scream "Your nuts my volts" while the "alpha male" squirms on the ground

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 1 points 1 week ago

This comment better not awaken anything in me.

[-] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 week ago

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

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

He threatened to rape all women and now he's a-scawed?

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago

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.

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

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

I know that—I have pepper spray for self defense for that very reason, along with other weapons.

The issue is that you have to feel reasonably threatened still. For a gun, the bar is serious harm, and for pepper spray it can be a much milder threat such as approaching or violent words.

I just don’t see how “hello” is threatening before a verbal order to leave the property. That’s why I think the video is important—her attitude and stance will make a huge difference in how justified the response was.

[-] Captain_Patchy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Other than to his reputation as an "alpha male". And in his "business" that loss may well cost him his livelihood.

We live in hope.

"We need to eradicate Jewish stranglehold over the United States of America. … We will win, because unlike our opposition, we are willing to die for what we believe in … We're in a holy war and I will tell you this. Because we're willing to die in the holy war, we will make them die in the holy war. And they will go down." - Nick Fuentes

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

What’s that image from?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Inglourious basterds. They captured a nazi willing to die for his country. They obliged him.

Actually, no this screenshot is after that. The last nazi swore he'd burn his uniform, so they carved a swastika in his forehead.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

To be pedantic, this isn’t Pvt Butz who swore he’d burn the uniform, it’s Col Landa after demanding a house and pension in America for defecting, aka Aldo’s “best work yet.”

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Ah, that’s right! Excellent movie.

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Thank you! I should have known. Time for a rewatch!

Here it is without the fucking paywall.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

He threatens women because he's terrified of them. Legit just listen to him talk about women and you'll understand why he shit his pants the first time he saw one up close.
