He's not going to jail.

Simple battery, rich white kid. Do the math.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, it's a class A misdemeanor in Illinois, so he'll almost certainly get probation.

Edit: Ironically, he might catch a felony for destruction of property if her phone was worth more than $500.

Do the math.

I read that as "do the meth" at first for some reason 😄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

So is that why the Jaguar failed? It was marketed exclusively to meth-users? I mean, it's a decently-sized and underserved market, but maybe they didn't have enough money to be buying game consoles in the 1990s.

Been pretty quiet for the last two weeks

I thought it was because he got caught with gay sex tape?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

I heard that too. Making a gay sex tape.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago

He also stole her phone, then later broke it.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago

He was charged and immediately released: https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/nick-fuentes-battery-275931

Presumably is lawyer made it very clear that he is not to say a damn thing under any circumstances. I don't know enough about him to guess if he's smart enough to keep his gob shut for the duration of the trial.

You kind of abandon the moral highroad when you turn this into a joke about prison rape. It says something bleak about the human condition that people are for prison reform until someone they don't like gets sent to prison.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Why not both? Except the high road, that's not going to get you any friends anyways

Fuck Nick Fuentes, but let's not celebrate prison rape. It just makes for broken people who are worse than when they went in and that cycle of abuse spreads outside prison walls.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe someone will curb stomp him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

I forgot about those! Fuck this French revolution bullshit. Let's see some Edward Norton American History baby!

And here's your annual reminder that all prison sentences in the United States are sentences to state-sanctioned slavery and rape.

The more you know.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah Lemmy is ready to ride the prison rape joke when convenient.

Duck this dude but fuck prison rape more

[–] Jiggle_Physics 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, and the people, like Fuentes, who support it, and want it to be worse, should experience the thing they desire for others.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just looked this up and found two surprises.

  1. Prison rape seems to be in the low single digit percentages. The highest estimates seem to be a 20% life time chance. That's still way too high but also a far cry from "all".
  2. The abnormally large prison population in the US gives it the dubious honor of being the only country in the world where men are raped more than women.
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The idea of prison rape being in the low single digits is also being extraordinarily conservative when we consider how safe someone feels to answer honestly in that kind of poll, especially if they were to answer from prison on a life sentence.

Good luck getting accurate answers in circumstances where revealing the conditions in which you exist might worsen or end your existence.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That’s a reasonable argument. It’s so reasonable that several researchers have tried to come up with better estimates and failed. The highest I could find was that 20% lifetimes rate. If you can find better data please share it. I’d love to see it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Might have something to do with him possibly being in a gay sex tape that was leaked, too. That kind of thing isn't looked kindly on by his fellows. I don't think he's denied it's him, and I can't imagine he feels very safe around other nazis right now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I think a lot of these extremists are gay not just the men either. I know a lot of us think that but these extreme misogynist types clearly have absolutely no interest in women and often seem bothered we have them at all

"It's okay if people I don't like get raped in jail" (Blade of the sun)

[–] stevedice 3 points 1 week ago

Notorious rape advocates are more than "people I don't like".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Okay, I'm pretty dumb about what goes on in prison, but how would they, other prisoners, know about his tweets and things he's done?

Regardless, he better not drop the soap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

A guard that dislikes him is possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Anyone with that much hollow bravado will make a great PRAG once broken.
