Summary

Police in Berwyn, Illinois, responded to an altercation involving white nationalist Nick Fuentes and Marla Rose, a woman who reportedly confronted him at his home after his address was doxxed.

Rose claims Fuentes sprayed her with a liquid, took her phone, and pushed her. She posted and later deleted a video of the incident and has since faced online harassment, including “swatting.”

Both Rose and Fuentes are currently refusing to cooperate with police, leaving the investigation stalled.

Fuentes and far-right commentators defended his actions, citing self-defense.

    I don’t understand anyone here who says this lady is in the wrong. If he felt threatened or whatever then don’t answer the door? Call the police? Instead he opens the door to attack. People saying “oh that was dumb she was asking for it”, wow no.

      I would say if you’re using an address from a dox, you’re probably in the wrong. Doubly so if you consider the person an adversary.

    And we’re going to have a handful of these kind of cases in four years. Trump will pardon people like Nick and fucking christ I hate this timeline.

      Nick is a white supremacist fascist asshole, but I’m not aware of him doing anything illegal that requires a pardon. Unless I missed something?

        No, he’s just a sad excuse for a sack of shit, let alone a human being. He’s talked openly about wanting a child bride, amongst other despicable crap that’s oozed out of the hole he calls a mouth.

        I appaude this woman and any others that come for him and his ilk. Fuck Nick Fuentes.

      Correct me if I’m wrong but can’t the president only pardon federal crimes? Unless if this happened on federal land I don’t think he can pardon it

      This take is dumb…

      I’m all for finding these people where they live but she went there alone and seems to have had a dumb plan. She didn’t think she may confronted or possibly assaulted? And hey, the guy may have been within his rights

      I hope more people show up next time, with a better plan

        “Your house, my choice.” while everyone takes turns taking a hot steamy dump on his doorstep?

          This is it. But put the turd in a bag, with “your house, my choice” written all over it, so that even a scrap can be read, and launch it.

          Don’t tarry, conceal identifying features, and if he starts getting guarded, wait until that passes, or organize a flash mob via an anonymized medium to increase impact and reduce casualties.

    I still don’t understand the supposed tough guys that back this whiney little brat who cannot even get laid, all while labeling everyone and everything they don’t like a “cuck”.

    Also, the same bunch looooove a whiney little brat born with a silver spoon in his mouth, never worked a day in his life, never was in the military, and spends two hours on hair and makeup every day…

    I mean, what the actual fuck?

      Easy. If your life ain’t going the way you want it to it’s much easier to join a big group and blame an easily identifiable “outside group” ( melanin content, language, religion, apparel, beliefs etc.) than it is to reappraise your way of living and your goals. Then if somebody runs their mouth on this you can get behind them - much much easier than taking personal responsibility for your own personal emptiness and feelings of helplessness. Having said all that, fuck ‘em. Fuck every last one of them.

    Not unless he has no trespassing signs up. Even then, I think it’s still legal to knock on someone’s door.

    I dont think either of these people are in the right.

    Why would you go to this guys home and knock on the door? By yourself? What’s the expected outcome that will happen?

    I can’t think of any realistic positive outcome for either party.

    They both win stupid prizes

        I agree, but what was her goal? She used someone’s doxxing to show up at their house?

        Reverse the genders and politics, it doesn’t look good…

      Yeah, doing that alone is incredibly stupid. She’s probably luck not to have been shot.

        What planet is America on? Nowhere else in the world is knocking on someone’s door considered something that would get you shot. It’s bizarre.

    I am confused as to why Rose would not cooperate with police. It’s certainly her right, but I don’t understand the choice. Maybe it’s “Oh fuck I did not want this attention, just go away”?
