A liberal feminist, Marla Rose, knocked on Nick Fuentes’ door. He reacted by immediately pepper-spraying her, knocking her down, and and stealing her phone. All she did was knock!
In a Facebook post, Rose elaborated on her motivations, citing Fuentes’ controversial reputation. “What would you do if a neo-Naz*, white supremacist who called on a holy war against J*ws and is a loud, proud misogynist lives in your town?” she wrote. Encouraged by a friend, Rose explained, “So I rang the doorbell, he immediately swung the door open like he was at damn Waco, sprayed me with a burning liquid…and pushed me down the stairs onto his sidewalk.”
Rose noted that a passerby called the police, after which EMTs checked her for injuries. “The nice EMTs took my vitals in the ambulance,” she added, sharing, “I am a little sore on my right side, where I fell, but I’m fine.” She also described the police response as dismissive, allegedly asking, “‘For what?’ I said, dumbfounded, ‘For ASSAULT.’ And he was like, ‘Well, you went to his door.’”
Public reactions have been polarized. While some supporters see Rose’s actions as justified given Fuentes’ past incitements on social media, critics argue that her approach and alleged doxxing crossed legal and ethical boundaries. Some have called for legal repercussions against Rose.
That’s exactly what I’d expect of the police.
I’m interested in these “legal repercussions.” Would they apply if a salesman or a Jehovah’s Witness knocked on my door, too? The next little kid going door-to-door selling girl scout cookies better watch out, I’ve got the Nick Fuentes precedent saying I can beat her up and steal a box, and if she complains, I’ll have her arrested.
You can tell, though, that Nick Fuentes is terrified. All the fascists must know that the actions they take while in power will have…repercussions.
I’ll give Marla Rose credit for being brave.
I’ll also give Marla Rose credit for being foolish.
It cost her whatever the bill for the EMT and the ambulance was, which will be a lot, her injuries, and her cell phone.
She should also have had some backup here. Someone else standing back with a video recording camera, filming the whole incident for…the police and DA. Also Youtube and TikTok.
This is 2024. A lot of stuff gets videotaped and ends up on Youtube and TikTok.
Don’t waste the opportunity of an assault, theft, EMTs and police lack of interest.
The police still wouldn’t do anything but it wouldn’t look good for them either.
Get prepared…. Now choose your visitor!
BTW, if took me 15 seconds to find Nick Fuentes address.
Wikipedia has him living in Berwyn Illinois.
I put his name and city in Google and the first three entries had his address.
I’m not going to bother putting it here.
If you can use Google you can find it in seconds.
His address is a matter of public record, he isn’t hiding, and he can’t be doxxed if everyone already knows where he lives.
My dog is a sweetie pie, but he takes his job as Chief of Home Security very seriously. If you knock on my front door you will be met at the window with 80 pounds of barking teeth, hackles fully up. Most people take a few judicious steps back!
Want to know what a racist fascist house looks like? I found a photo of Nick Fuente’s house on Zillow.
The property description is for informational purposes only. It is currrently not for sale.
Big house, 4,300 sq. ft. and three stories.
You might be fine if you don’t use a firearm. That’s where the murderer of Kaylin Gillis and the shooter of Ralph Yarl messed up.
It was only a week ago that canvassers for Republican candidates were knocking on doors, with some of whom being paid for by Elon Musk. I’m guessing that the police response would be a lot different if they were met with such a response.
She wasted an oppurtunity.
Correction: opportunity.
Oooh, you finally found a photo of Fuentes looking like a tough guy!
Also, if Fuentes was really legitimately afraid of being doxxed, then he shouldn’t have done anything to attract more attention to his home address. Either answer the door and calmly tell the unwanted visitor to get off his property, or just don’t answer it at all. Fuentes did what he did because he WANTED to hurt someone, and clearly thought Trump’s election gave him permission to do so.
“and clearly thought Trump’s election gave him permission to do so.”
And based on the police reaction, he was right. The idea that you can’t even knock on a door without ‘castle defense’ being the best offense is just insane.
Presumably it’s no longer safe to visit a police station, if that’s their attitude.
(Yeah, I know that’s not always been safe for some people.)
Unless Fuentes recognised her I doubt this is the first time he’s done something like this. So, how many friends might he have on the Berwyn police force?
I’m sorry but this is stupid. Why would you go and knock on a literal Nazi’s door? What did you think you’ll accomplish? Nick Fuentes is one of the most deranged and unhinged people online.
She should sue for damages. If someone can be held liable if their dog bites someone in their property then someone can almost certainly be held liable for attacking someone just for knocking on the door.
@ ^ lotharloo : … & apparently offline too.
If only they did have more repercussions. If only thery were more shunned more disqualifying for everything. Yes, nazis by definition are weak, insecure people. Their hateful ideology is also one of inadequacy and fear scapegoating others for their own lacks.
Pure wishful thinking on your part.
(Also, why would weak, insecure people bother you or anyone?)
PS. I heard via fb that Fuentes was living with his mother… not in his own place? FWIW
I wonder whose choice that was?
@ 1. raven : Agreed.
PS
“She should also have had some backup here. Someone else standing back with a video recording camera, filming the whole incident for…the police and DA. Also Youtube and TikTok.”
…
“@ 1. raven : Agreed.”
Thing is, it might have shown something not quite as she describes the event.
(And remember, she was knocking on a weak, insecure person’s door, according to your own claim)
So there’s a door, and a doorbell for the visitors you want and the badge-wearing visitors you have no choice about, but there’s no intercom or sign to tell everyone else to go away?
…ok. Right.
This little scaredyfash couldn’t make it more obvious that he wanted the fight he started.
It’d be nice if there were to be a queue of people round the block knocking on his door in turn until he runs out of pepper spray. Then kick the little shitheil’s arsehole up through his eyeballs: it’s what he wants.
What fight, against whom, and in what manner?
What if he has a few cases worth of pepper spray?
What if he buys more?
(“”Forward!” he cried, from the rear
And the front rank died”)
@John Morales
To feel strong.
That’s what fascism, xenophobia and authoritarianism are selling: the delusion of strength, the feeling of belonging to something strong.
Fair enough, F.O.
But only weakly and insecurely, that’s the premise at hand.
And, if it’s only a delusion of strength, it can hardly be problematic unless one buys into the delusion.
As for ideologues liking the delusion of strength, the feeling of belonging to something strong — but that’s hardly limited to fascists, is it?
—
It’s kinda confused, in my estimation, to claim both that it’s dangerous and doomish and worrisome and so forth and that it’s being enacted by weak and insecure scaredyfash types.
(See the tension?)
Hopefully, there WILL be repercussions for Fuentes. Cops are worthless.
