Summary

Far-right provocateur Nick Fuentes claimed an armed man, later identified as a suspect in a triple homicide, attempted to assassinate him at his Berwyn, Illinois home.

Police fatally shot the gunman, John R. Lyons, after he disobeyed commands and fired at officers. The incident occurred amid rising tensions following the public doxxing of Fuentes’ address.

Separately, Fuentes is charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly pepper-spraying a protester outside his home following his controversial social media post, “Your body, my choice. Forever.”

Fuentes decried harassment and threats against him, saying he fears for his safety and plans to relocate.

    “We also live in a free country where you can speak without people showing up and trying to hurt you,” Fuentes shot back. “I’m in fear for my life, people have been posting my address online for the past three days telling me they’re coming to kill me, they’re coming to rape me.”

    Threats of rape are only free speech when Nick is the one making them. Got it.

    Fuck off with your “allegedly”. We all saw the video of him pepper spraying them in the face.

    Allegedly someone came to assassinate him because they were killed by the police near his house.

    As unfortunate the situation is with fuentes he did seem to kill a family of 3 earlier and two dogs. It would be nice if the article was more about the people killed than the pansy who got scareded.
