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.

    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.

      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

      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.
