    it would be pretty hard to charge without a battery, where would it go?

      I don't have high hopes tbh, it feels like it would be easy to make an argument that he had reason to fear for his life after his address got posted online, and then say something about how even then he still had the restraint to only use non lethal force. If antifa-supersoldier walked, I think Fuentes is fine.

      That said I hope he rots.

        Yeah but she could have been a neighbor knocking on the door, unaware of anything being different because she doesn't follow social media. He didn't know, he ambushed the first person who walked up his porch

        Even so I fully expect the entirety of the American people to chip in hundreds per person for his bail.

    Did youse all read the original story?:

    “There had been chatter about people sending (Fuentes) boxes of dog poop or used menstrual products or whatever,” Rose said. “They were like, ‘You’ve got to go by and see if he’s getting deliveries.’”

    Their messages piqued her curiosity, she said. The vegan lifestyle writer has lived in Berwyn for 11 years but had no idea that 26-year-old Fuentes lived in Illinois, much less 10 minutes from her.

    She said she found the house and was making a short video of herself on the sidewalk out front when another female onlooker pulled up in her car and suggested Rose ring the doorbell, which she hadn’t planned to do but to which she agreed.

    She said Fuentes opened the door before she could ring the doorbell.

    “In that same movement, he pepper-sprayed me in the face … screamed an expletive at me,” Rose said.

    She alleged that Fuentes then grabbed Rose’s phone and went back into his house.

    Rose said the woman who had encouraged her to ring Fuentes’ doorbell called police, and an officer came and took a report from her and Fuentes, retrieving her phone in the process. She added that her phone is now broken, allegedly because Fuentes stomped on it.

    The officer called an ambulance to look at Rose’s eyes and check her vitals, but she said emergency workers didn’t seem concerned. The officer told her not to knock on the door again, she said.

    Rose said Monday she was looking for a lawyer and was uncertain about whether to press charges against Fuentes out of concerns for her safety if she angers extremists.

    If buddy had done a better job stomping her phone to bits, then this photo wouldn't exist:

    can't exactly see everything there but we're getting a vibe.

    It will be great if she has a lot of likewise friends who show up to court.

        Did Amy Klobuchar effectively utilize girl power when she was hurling office supplies at staffers because she didn't have a fork with which to eat her salad?
