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 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…

          You can extrapolate her goal.

          Now let’s extrapolate fuentes’ goal.

          He was making a rape joke. He was making a forced birth joke. To an audience of MILLIONS. So clearly he wanted to impose the idea that he can rape and force anyone to give birth and he was serious about it, otherwise it wouldn’t have been a tweet.

          You can’t tell the difference between the two?

          Are you fucking retarded?

            I agree, he threatened rape. So why would you knock on the door of a guy who is threatening rape? That makes no sense?

            Don’t jump into a tiger pit to prove something…?

      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.
