An 18-year-old who attended the white supremacist rally that turned violent in Charlottesville, Va., says he is not returning to Boston University in the fall, in part because of death threats he has received for his political views.

“It’s becoming very dangerous,’’ Nicholas Fuentes said Tuesday in a phone interview.

He said he has received 15 death threats over the past week via e-mail and social media.

His parents' basement beckons...

1. Fuentes, eh? White power, eh? Anti-immigrant, eh?

[sandensea]

37. It's sad; but true.

He wouldn't be the first white hispanic person I've known who sides with Republicans - usually the hard-right kind - because it makes him/her feel more "accepted."

[syringis]

43. It reminds me of Gabriel Diaz

Not identifying himself as white supremacist (it would have been a little tricky) but National Socialist...

He insists : NOT NAZI ! He is National Socialist...

[bullwinkle428]

45. That classic Dave Chapelle sketch is getting closer and closer

to reality every day!

[syringis]

47. Hello

I don't know who is Dave Chapelle.

I'm belgian, living in Belgium.

I found this video while doing a research on Nazis signs.

[maxsolomon]

49. american comic

nt

[Not Ruth]

51. Is he accepted by the Nazis?

Because you know.....

[syringis]

56. doubtful

I found this video in "Le Figaro" a french newspaper in the breaking news section (2014 i think).

Otherwise, I would have thought it was a sketch

[bettyellen]

2. "In part" because of threats. Hmmmmmm. More to this than he's willing to admit.

[Tanuki]

34. I think so, too. Who flies from Illinois to Boston for an "exit interview"

if they decide on their own to transfer or take time off from college? I suspect that this hiatus wasn't entirely Nick's choice. Privacy laws will prevent BU from filling in any details beyond their conformation that he is "no longer enrolled."

[TheDebbieDee]

3. Mr Fuentes? Some people are just TOO ignorant for words.

Conservatives have been white-washing history taught in US schools to the point that a young man with a name like Fuentes can allow himself to identify with white nationalists!

[ck4829]

4. When Muslims said they were afraid of what a Trump admin would do, he probably laughed

When immigrants who have lived their whole lives here suddenly found their lives turned upside down by the ban if they were outside of the US at the time it was decreed, he probably shrugged

When transgender people in the armed forces got concerned about what that Twitter rant would mean for their careers and their futures, he probably cheered it on.

When Jewish people saw something familiar in the hate rally he participated in, he probably gave them the middle finger.

So right back at ya, Nicky.

[Blue_Tires]

5. So he can dish it out but he can't take it?

[VaBchTgerLily]

6. Fuentes? that's ironic

[brooklynite]

7. I believe I can safely and accurately point to...

11. "dumb liberal women"

I feel like this schmuck has issues other than death threats. Like not being successful at dating in a city full of smart liberal women. From his Facebook:

"Especially big hand to all the self hating white people willing to sell their people down the river for the dopamine rush they get when they talk about "racism" online and dumb liberal women like/comment."

[GulfCoast66]

12. Before this dude gets laid

He has to blow up the doll.

[rurallib]

21. heard his doll poked a hole in itself to avoid him

[Hassin Bin Sober]

38. .

[UpInArms]

39. Wonder if he's one of those Mexican "rapists" that tRump

Was disparaging?

[geretogo]

8. The Bible says " you reap what you sow " . It is now 37 years of Reaganomics , hate radio ,

Fox News , Limbaugh , and corporate control of our air waves . Trump is the product of what
has been sown .

[BigmanPigman]

14. That sums it up pretty accurately.

[obamanut2012]

9. "Fuentes"? What a moran

Boo Hoo you Nazi cuck.

[Sunlei]

10. a lot of them should have stayed behind the keyboard.

[SpankMe]

13. He's upset about death threats...

...because Nazi-americans have never sent a death threat to anyone. WTF?

[dalton99a]

15. Perhaps Trump will give him Secret Service protection

so he can continue his important work

[Binkie The Clown]

16. Can dish it out but can't take it.

Their philosophy: "To hate another is good. Be be hated by another is bad."

[IronLionZion]

17. White latino?

I know the type. Some of them are only latino on paper when they apply for schools

This asshole claims he's only 25% latino, and American first, doesn't approve of people speaking Spanish.

[sinkingfeeling]

23. So, doesn't he know a true Nazi must be 100% 'pure blood'?

[tom_kelly]

18. Maybe

input from BU had something to do with this??? Would they be able to expel someone for off-campus behavior?

[wysi]

25. Yes

It happened quite a lot when I was a student there (30 years ago). I'm sure it's still the case.

[PSPS]

19. "He said he has received 15 death threats" LOL. Sure, buddy. From your alias account?

[Warpy]

28. Well, the poor thing is only 18, he's just starting out

Wait until he's as old as I am, he should have enough to fill a good sized book if he keeps on being determined to make a total arse of himself in public.

[raven mad]

20. Well, then, the dumbass shouldn't have gone. And should have grown a brain way before he did.

WTF does the idiot EXPECT?

[hurple]

22. Waaa-Waaaa

Who knew nazi's were such little snowflake crybabies...

Keep outing them!

[wysi]

24. Good

My beloved Alma Mater is too good for the likes of an asshole like you, Fuentes.

[Squinch]

26. Good. They have earned their pariah status.

[MichMan]

27. Cheering because someone got death threats for attending a rally

Apparently, cheering that a 18 year old college student received death threats over attending a rally/protest, is considered to be acceptable behavior on DU.

Almost wonder how many are really hoping the threats get carried out.

[AJT]

30. The rhetoric can be over the top. I don't like that either.

Being angery and doing some name calling is one thing but being ok with death threats and wishing violence on people makes me uncomfortable. I hope it is just rhetoric and not a sincere wish for harm.

[Spider Jerusalem]

31. Taste of his own medicine as far as I'm concerned

we're talking about someone who went to a white nationalist rally where people were chanting homophobic, racist, anti-Semitic slogans. Imagine if you will that you're a Jew or a Muslim or gay and a gang of these yahoos are marcing towards you, loudly declaiming their hatred. Would you feel threatened? Would you be frightened? Would you be in fear for your life? Very probably. So no sympathy for this prick from me.

[yardwork]

35. I don't see anybody cheering. People are pointing out hypocrisy.

This person belongs to an organization that wants to kill all non-whites (plus any white person who disagrees with them) and now he's upset about death threats?

[RhodeIslandOne]

36. He's probably fucking lying

When you start out a racist, you're already a person of questionable character, so a lie is nothing.

[JI7]

41. fuck him , he was exposed and now trying to act like he is the Victim . he was the one threatening

others when he attended that rally.

[Demsrule86]

44. Oh please...first of all, I don't know if what he says is true...

Secondly, you march with Nazis and the KKK as well as other white nationalist, you are going to get some blow back...heck I got death threats for posts about the woman's march which I attended. If you can't take the heat, go home and live in Mommy's basement. I have no sympathy for folks like him...I watch his sort beat down Black pastors...screw him.

[bullwinkle428]

46. More like laughing, because right-wingers are ALWAYS claiming

"death threats" once they start getting pushback on their vile spew, and begin to shit their pants in response.

[LanternWaste]

55. visceral responses lacking any consequence certainly allow us to advertise our own ethical elitism.

Yeah.... those visceral responses lacking any consequence certainly allow us to advertise our own ethical elitism.

Almost wondering what leads you to believe posters are actually hoping for this.

[defacto7]

29. The Neo-Nazi white supremacy believers

are deeply dug in by generations. I'm peace oriented but there is a time to fight. These guys aren't going down without some strong measures and there are going to be casualties. Those casualties may be the only deterrent unfortunately.
I'm not talking about loss of life, I mean they will ruin their lives by their choices and we may need to make it so. They all must fear that cost or they will keep coming.

[AlexSFCA]

32. if he truly receives death threats -

then he should report them to police. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. One can Heather was murdered for her beliefs also.

[Initech]

33. Yeah don't go to Nazi rallies. It's that simple.

[Raine]

40. Aw poor widdle snowflake

and here I thought all Nazi's were so tough.

[Blue Idaho]

42. As a white supremacist

I doubt he could pass any other college entrance standards. Wave good bye to that college education and repeat after me: "Do you want fries with that?"

[Floyd R. Turbo]

48. Play stupid games!

Alt-right figure says he's been admitted to Auburn

Nicholas Fuentes, the 19-year-old alt-right figure who hosts "America First" on the Auburn-based Right Side Network, says he has been accepted to Auburn University.

Fuentes, who dropped out of Boston University in the wake of the Charlottesville, Va., white supremacist rally, told the Auburn Plainsman he will be transferring in the spring after receiving what he said were death threats in Boston.

In an interview, Fuentes said he enrolled in Auburn in May. "It's just a matter of getting over there," he said.

A University spokesperson said Fuentes hasn't enrolled.

[TexasBushwhacker]

54. Yeah, he enrolled in MAY

Which means he was already leaving BU.

[The_Casual_Observer]

52. Most likely the was flunking out anyway.

[Not Ruth]

53. If he is 18, he may not have even started freshman year yet

Perhaps he took classes there in high school.
