I am confused as to why Rose would not cooperate with police. It's certainly her right, but I don't understand the choice. Maybe it's "Oh fuck I did not want this attention, just go away"?
Why would you expect the police to come down on Rose's side of things? They are much more likely to side with the Neo-Nazis, based on history.
Non-zero chance there's lots of Fuentes fans amongst that group. She's probably already getting a bunch of death threats virtually, why would you want that in person as well. Especially when you know that as things are dragged out through the legal system it's not going to end up mattering anyway because that flavor of person doesn't appear to have legal culpability for anything.
Doesn't bode well for the future.
Yeah, in general I am not hearing nearly enough about the high numbers of MAGA people in the police and the military. I'm not sure most folks have considered the gravity of that tendency.
I have seen arguments like "well let's see Trump try X or Y; I'm sure the military would step in". But like, what? If the military steps in it certainly won't be to stop Trump. Quite the opposite.
Military actually leaned Biden in 2020:

Not sure how things stand in 2024 but I can't imagine Trump shitting on a bunch of generals who called him a fascist would help much.
Military veterans seem to support Trump more though, not sure why specifically. And lots of vets in the police. So that might be a different story.
I'd argue he is aware of this, though, which is probably why he is looking towards purging various groups of ideological mismatches.
Can you imagine the slander she'd receive on a national level if this went to trial in the next few years? It could be legitimately dangerous to her safety, even if she was found to be completely in the right.
Well, she already got swatted.
Exactly, I don't blame her for not wanting to escalate on that
