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.

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 7 points 5 days 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?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago

Cops have a duty to protect capital. Which, in this situation, means the relatively wealthy (ostensibly, or at least passing as) white, man.

Somebody better alert the Girl Scouts.

[-] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago

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.

This is a preview of Trump's America.

Get yer knickers on, boys. Shit is gonna be wild.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 41 points 6 days 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 80 points 6 days 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 30 points 6 days ago

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

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days 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!

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago

Do not leave letters in the neighbor's 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.

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

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

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Hell OpenStreetMap highlights it. Probably because people have been searching it?

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

Your house. My map.

Yeah, I’d imagine it’s the most searched address this week across all mapping platforms. The guy wanted to be famous - guess he is now.

Illinois Nazis

I hate Illinois Nazis

"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

More like "MAGA influencer Nick Fuentes shown assaulting woman outside his home"

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days 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.

[-] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 24 points 6 days ago

In jail: his body, their choice.

[-] SeaJ@lemm.ee 34 points 6 days ago

Rape jokes still are not funny.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 28 points 6 days ago

I didn't even notice the rape joke.

I read it as getting knifed.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

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

[-] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

Stop trying to police language.

Jokes need only to be judged on if they're funny, or not.

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 3 points 5 days ago

This comment better not awaken anything in me.

[-] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 6 days ago

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

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

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

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

"'Nobody should be turning up at any bodies [sic] house uninvited,' Tate posted Monday. 'Harassment.'"

Interesting. I believe that not only do people have a right to show up to Nazi's houses, but also have a duty to [REDACTED].

[-] root_beer@midwest.social 2 points 4 days ago

What if she was just there to sell dick pills, like any normal patriotic American? I can’t believe one would need an invite to sell dick pills! Surely, Mr Tate, that can’t be harassment, can it?

[-] wildcardology@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

The funny thing is Fuentes attacked the 57 year old 5'1" woman with a little bitty pepper spray that didn't really hurt the woman that much.

[-] pinkystew@reddthat.com 7 points 6 days ago

Here it is without the fucking paywall.

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 21 points 6 days 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
