It's funny that he "bravely" confronted a 57 year old woman at his door. But not this one.

[–] Stopthatgirl7@lemmy.world 31 points 21 hours ago

That “your body my choice” was all just fun and games to him when it was scaring women. Not so funny now, huh, Nick.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 50 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Your body, his choice. Right, Nick?

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

Imagine if he opened the door and the shooter said that? Terrible thought.

“I am grateful to God that I am still alive today,” he posted, and shared a surveillance video appearing to show a man with the weapons.

“While heartbreaking, it could have been so unimaginably worse,” the post continued. “God have mercy. Doxing is not a game.”

first off. bitch, please. doxxing is Fuente's weapon of choice.

Secondly, why would this guy, whose being hunted for police for killing people he knew... go to Fuentes' house?

My guess, he was seeking help in hiding from the cops. (though also, that kinda looks like Fuentes... are we sure it's Lyons?)

[–] nickhammes@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago

I like the idea that Fuentes saw a coincidence, decided to play it up, by cosplaying as a dude with a crossbow who was actually in his neighborhood, standing threateningly on his own porch, to play a victim because he didn't get to be one in real life.

Even if it didn't transpire that way, it's funny how it totally fits.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 24 points 23 hours ago

Apparently he will “have to uproot my life and relocate. While I can handle whatever comes to my front door, it is irresponsible to expect my neighbors with young families to share that burden.”

Hehehe. Well, you were live-streaming. Why didn’t you go out and handle this guy? That would have definitely been good publicity.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 25 points 1 day ago

One of the reasons I don’t like religion is bc of this shit. He thinks his deity stepped in and saved him when it lets children all over the world die every day.

Shit stains like this ruin everything for everyone else.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

First off, total coincidence, secondly the guy totally whiffed it.

[–] ramsorge@discuss.online 13 points 1 day ago

Yeah, dude was on a killing spree, didn’t even know who he was. Nick claims he called his name, but who was there to witness that? No one.

It’s a wild coincidence and he’s a conspiracy theorist.

It is a sign of our current reality that I have no idea if this is real or not. My instinct is that it isn't, but anything is possible. You could have showed me a Ring screenshot of a man in a bunny costume holding a dildo and a pumpkin and I wouldn't have ruled it out.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

Having seen a street view of the house, this image is consistent with the architecture of Nick Fuentes' house. Brickwork, location of front stoop, sidewalk.

“a Ring screenshot of a man in a bunny costume holding a dildo and a pumpkin”

I really need to see this now.

Everyone I know has a metal antler dildo

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But at least he politely waited at the door to shoot him.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Wow, a Ruger MKIV and one of those flea market ninja warrior wannabe toy crossbows.

Somebody's on a budget, I see.

[–] Graphy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

The perfect weapon to poke holes into the drywall of your friends parent’s basement

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 23 hours ago

Those little crossbows are really good for killing tiny rodents. Ask how I know.....

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

~~So, this guy is just running around in suburbia with a gun and a crossbow, and cops can't find him?~~

NM, should've read the article first.

[–] uberdroog@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

The crazies are gonna lose track of their craziest. They were just playing a game, some people out there are not.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Shame the dude wasn't taken alive.
