Alt-Right leader accused of spousal abuse

by **Fartsniffage** » Tue Oct 23, 2018 7:10 pm

The wife of US white nationalist Richard Spencer has accused him of being "physically, verbally and emotionally abusive", US media report.

In papers filing for divorce, Nina Koupriianova said on one occasion in 2011 Mr Spencer dragged her down the stairs, resulting in bruises.

She said that in 2014 he again "attacked" her when she was four-months pregnant.

In comments to the Associated Press, Mr Spencer denied being an abusive person.

Richard Spencer is a figurehead for US far-right groups and popularised the term "alternative right".

I can't say I'm surprised. The kind of person who wants to ethnically cleanse the US is hardly the most stable of person.

What say you NSG?

Should anyone really be surprised? Really?

Somehow I have no difficulty believing that one of America's foremost Nazis is a violent and abusive man.

Well you know innocent till proven guilty but I’m not inclined to believe he’s not a horrible husband considering he’s a horrible person

Little surprised someone married him at all, but I guess some women are Nazis too.

Literally only six posts in and people already jumping to conclusions.

Accusation is not conviction, people. Even scum are innocent until proven guilty.

As I said it’s only an accusation but can you really say you’d be surprised if it’s true?

If the allegation is true, that makes Richard Spencer scum.

Abuse of anyone is the worst act anyone can do.

I'd think openly presenting yourself as a Nazi is the worst, actually. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is just a cherry on the shitcake.

The guy is shit. He might not have done this, but he is still shit.

Your own post suggests otherwise.

Unless he's an avid misogynist, yes. He might be - I'm not familiar with the man other than that he's a White 'Nationalist' - so correct me if I'm wrong.

Regardless, being a Nazi isn't a gateway drug to comic book villainy where evil seeps into every inch of their life.

Innocent until proven guilty, like being proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, is a legal precept, not a moral one.

He was already scum. If this is true it just makes him even worse scum.

Yes, I am sure people who kiss their pocket photos of Hitler good night before tucking themselves in to dream of gassing millions are perfectly well-adjusted individuals.

My own post suggested that I'm not even remotely surprised that he's been accused of this by his former wife and that this might actually be true.

I'd be fucking surprised if he was actually innocent.

It should be a moral one too. The alternative is mob justice and vigilantism, and God knows we don't need any more of either of those train wrecks in this country.

He has on several occasions spoken against women and a desire to keep them in housekeeping roles

Spencer doesn't need to be convicted for me to think he's guilty. It's this whole thing where I'm not a court, so people don't get punished based on what I think, so I think whatever I want.

Why is it hard to believe a man who espouses racial supremacy can't also be a loving husband? The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Just because someone is a shithead in one department doesn't make them a shithead in every department.
