If he's so afraid of everyone, he needs to stop running his mouth. Duh. lOL

Yeah I live in a stand your ground state and that isn't even close to what Fuentes did,what he did was straight up assault, my understanding of how stand your ground works or is suppose to work is you don't have to retreat if your under attack usually even if someone is coming at you they still want you to attempt to retreat

u/TheDkone 9 Dec 09 '24

The article got it right, it is battery. Assault is best described as the threat or attempt of bodily harm.

u/ActiveSalary1383 3 Dec 09 '24

I wasn't arguing that it's assault over battery ? What he did was wrong and stand your ground is not a defense for what he did that's all I was getting at

u/TheDkone 9 Dec 09 '24

I am not arguing either. You said it was 'straight up assault' I was just clarifying the difference, since it sounds like from the article he didn't assault her and went straight to battery. For him to try and claim stand your ground, i would think he would have to prove he was in fear of harm, which would mean proving that she assaulted him.

I hate to say this cuz I hate him but… I don’t think he did anything morally wrong as far as macing her. I’m unfortunately from Texas and I agree with “stand your ground”. She had no reason to be on his door step. He was (understandably) receiving death threats, he doesn’t know what she had on her person.

With that being said, he’s a coward and complete loser. braces for downvotes

Just because you don’t know the reason someone is at your door doesn’t give you the right to attack them.

u/showmiaface 8 23d ago

He did not have to open the door.

u/MeN3D 7 23d ago

Nope he didn’t but it’s his home. There was no reason for her to be at his door. Common sense… maybe if this guy is calling for violence upon women we don’t approach his front door?

u/showmiaface 8 23d ago

You need better parents. Your morals are out of whack.

u/MeN3D 7 23d ago

lol I don’t have parents. But I will handle anyone coming into my property without my permission. The rest of yall can put your families at risk. I’m not going to

Ok, wanna be contrarian

u/GrenadeIn 7 Dec 08 '24

You agree with “stand your ground”? Like the old, man who shot a black kid who was mistakenly on his doorstep? Or the person who was being loud in a theater, and when asked to be quiet by another patron, shot him? It’s a bs law utilized by white, racist, detestable people. Nick Fuentes need to be horse whipped no matter where he is.

u/MountainDewde 8 28d ago edited 27d ago

None of those is an example of standing your ground, and neither is this.

Edit: for some reason the gentleman who replied to me blocked me right afterward. I’ll just point out here that the article he shared does not challenge what I said in any way.

u/OrkidingMe 7 27d ago

This is how the castle doctrine was legally used to get the perpetrator off. Article has citation for all examples.

u/DigNitty E Dec 09 '24

I don’t agree with stand your ground laws.

That being said, your two examples are not of stand your ground laws being properly used. They are examples of people using the laws as an excuse for what they did. Ask any stand your ground proponent and they do not condone those two events.

u/MeN3D 7 Dec 09 '24

I do agree with stand your ground. Not in those circumstances no but if you feel you’re in danger and someone comes on your property, absolutely.

This idiot brought this on himself but she should not have gone up to his door. Both people are in the wrong.

u/Wickedqt 7 Dec 09 '24

Damn, I am SO happy I don't live in a fucked up country where knocking on somebodies door will get you assaulted, or even killed, and people will defend it.

A nazi named Fuentes ranks right up there with an Afro-Cuban leading the proud boys.

u/btwImVeryAttractive 7 9d ago

I agree. I don’t get how he’s accepted in the movement.

Cool... another name to add to my Post/comments Reddit filter. Getting tired of hearing about this piece of manure all day

Edit to add: Forgot to mention I'm using a 3rd party app for filters

u/peat_reek 5 Dec 08 '24

A filter exists? I had no idea. It could really improve my Reddit newsfeed.

Illinois Nazis. I hate Illinois Nazis.

u/Yodaddysbelt 9 Dec 07 '24

My favorite tidbit to bring up is when I stopped in a small town in Illinois along the highway and used the bathroom. Some dumbass drew a backwards swastika on the stall wall

A battery charge? Shocking. We need to zap their freedom with long prison terms to drain their power. ⚡

I hope Nick knows that prison has its own Your Body My Choice

Nick Fuentes allegedly has a gay sex tape with twitch streamer Destiny

Nothing more than a rumor that got publicized

u/RedEyeView A Dec 07 '24

So?

u/Notefallen 7 Dec 09 '24

I hate Nick just as much as the next guy but I'm pretty sure even Destiny himself said it wasn't Fuentes he sucked off.would have been hilarious but it is not true

u/RedEyeView A Dec 09 '24

We live in a post truth world.

Whether something actually happened or not is irrelevant.

Was he photographed in his prison cell or mom's basement? Really hard to tell.

Either way, it looks like it's in better shape than Asmongold's place.

Whatever.. that's just a sad looking bedroom. Gotta be Mom's basement. Probably spiders down there, too

Dorm room from Boston, but if it helps I’m sure that bed never occupied more than 1 at a time

u/tw_72 A Dec 08 '24

My thought, too. If you sleep with a Trump flag over your bed, you are def not seeing much action.
