Apparently the dude was also involved with a triple homicide the same day

The ''how dare you spray and shove an old lady'' wasen't just some random person who happened to be there innocently.
She doxed Fuented, went to his house with the intention to ''make him afraid'' ( her choice of words ) and incited futher harassment against Fuentes after doing that.
Grab your popcorn for the trial, because Fuentes was charged for that.
Unfortunately, it does look like a legit battery charge. Because it's Nick, and because it's Chicago, he's probably not going to get the leniency that, even as someone who hates him, he does deserve.
You actually can't swing open the door and pepper spray someone who has not shown any hostile intent. If they aren't supposed to be there, you have to get the cops involved and refuse to answer the door. I understand why it seemed reasonable, but it is a violation of the letter of the law.
Hopefully he can bring this up to the judge and get enough leniency that they'll let him negotiate his bail conditions so he can move out of county for the obvious threat to his life.
I know you may be mentally challenged, but Nick can 10000% present a defense that will win of:
“hey I’ve been threatened, and had been threatened for days up until that point. I had lacked sleep out of fear. I have had to hire private security. I saw someone whom I did not know or recognize outside my house, called the cops who did nothing, and when the stranger approached my door via my camera I was able to see she was:
1). A stranger I do not know, and who had no valid reason to be on my property.
2). A valid threat, seeing as they are a stranger I do not know, displaying essentially opposing gang colors (indicating intent) approaching my door.
3). Days later, thanks to this woman doing exactly what she did (and in her words she did this “to make him afraid”) another young man came to his house to kill him after killing 3 others.”
If you don’t think this defense overcomes “much racism” then the justice system is dead and we need to burn it to the ground.
Again, first, it is a violation of the letter of the law. There's no justification for him to open his door, except to engage a target that was NOT an imminent threat to him yet. He must admit that before he opened the door, he was not under any imminent articulable threat. That is unquestionably the case.
However, he's going to correctly argue that his actions were reasonable given the circumstances you laid out. But that's effectively an affirmative defense where he says, "I'm guilty of battery BUT HEAR ME OUT." And that's not necessarily wrong. That's true of all self-defense claims.
Self-Defense claims are always inherently dangerous for this. You admit guilt, but need an exception due to the circumstances.
Innocent people go to prison all the time. Fuentes is a guilty person we're hoping gets leniency. In Illinois. As a nationally renowned antisemitic, white nationalist, woman hater. That's fuckin' bad. His attorneys have work cut out for him.
I think he'll get some leniency after this. I think that community service or an apology of some such we'll probably be fine. I don't think he has a criminal record. It's the lowest level of simple battery. I doubt he'll see time in jail, let alone prison.
