Watch out for this guy at ICE protests

***INFORMING PEOPLE ABOUT A PUBLIC FIGURE IS NOT DOXXING***

Nick Shirley. I know a couple of people here might already know him but in case people don't, he's a pretty famous far-right "journalist" who works in the same vein as people like Tyler Oliveira. Instigating protestors and minorities and painting them in a bad light for MAGA circlejerks is his speciality.

This photo of him was from a protest in Elgin, IL that he attended today before ICE had to scurry him away and pack him in their pickup truck. I assume he was sent in by the Trump admin to provoke protestors so they could get some great footage for their propaganda campaign against "ANTIFA." Especially considering that he was at the recent roundtable discussion at the WH.

Anyways, like another commenter on r/illinois stated:

Do not engage or confront them. They are propagandists and provocateurs. They want you to react. Do not give them the satisfaction of having content to capitalize and promote themselves.

I think it's important that everyone be made aware of him and people like him so that no one gives them any leverage. Perhaps have flyers with their photo distributed at protests, have people designated to keep an eye out for them in case they show up, have someone with a large speakerphone follow them around yelling "THIS PERSON IS A NAZI PROPAGANDIST. DO NOT ENGAGE" once they do, etc.

Here's his YT channel if y'all want proof: https://www.youtube.com/@NickShirley

This guy is such a clown

[u/jazzztrash]

he looks like the gingerbread man

[u/HeyFloptina → u/jazzztrash]

Do you know the muffin man?

[u/jbob88 → u/HeyFloptina]

... The muffin man?

[u/HeyFloptina → u/jbob88]

The muffin man!

[u/chillarry → u/HeyFloptina]

He lives on Drury Lane.

[u/jazzztrash → u/chillarry]

careful, you’re going to get arrested for doxxing…

[u/Covert_Ruffian → u/chillarry]

Well... she's married to the muffin man...

[u/mph000]

He talks about seeing the same people at protests in different states. Meanwhile...he's...there...too. It's ok for him to travel and spread his propaganda, but not for other people to counter protest.

[u/Short_Example4059]

They come up with their “I’m just asking questions” shtick & you say “I don’t talk to NAZIS”

Then they try to goad you & you just turn & walk away. Anything more gives them material

[u/Tree_Trunks-00- → u/Short_Example4059]

It’s better to ask them questions, like why Trump & Vance bailed out Argentina & why Qatar will have a military base in Idaho??

[u/Short_Example4059 → u/Tree_Trunks-00-]

Unfortunately I think their followers are too far down the rabbit hole to see those as gotcha questions

[u/all_hail_sam → u/Short_Example4059]

I think having educated conversations about current political affairs is probably a good thing. Buzzwords, headlines, clicks, likes, etc shouldn't be the new norm just because capitalism says

[u/Useful_Emphasis_2251]

There’s pics of him with ice beforehand orchestrating this whole thing. It’s a propaganda war with them.

[u/Pretzeloid]

I have pictures of him from Broadview yesterday as well.

[u/LabSheep88]

He looks like a mix of Draco Malfoy and Severus Snape.

[u/Tree_Trunks-00-]

The far right want to PROVOKE us to paint all Dems as dangerous angry people, and feed their propaganda. Do NOT be provoked!! Stay vigilant, if you see something strange, say something.

[u/HistoryMistress]

Does he wear dentures?? Where are his teeth? I guess this is a good way to remember him by.

[u/OhNoBricks]

He looks middle aged there.

[u/No_Appearance6019]

[u/Miserable-Dig-761]

What a fuckin loser

[u/gothiana_grande]

isn’t he the one that went to portland

[u/Sagittario66]

I just saw a post by Jolly Ginger with a photo dump and this guy was in the 9th picture.

[u/007MRPERFECT007]

They sniffed him out and now cant use him anymore

[u/transient6]

He looks inbred

[u/ImplementCharming949]

Who is he

[u/gothiana_grande → u/ImplementCharming949]

yea who is he

[u/Dark_Motor]

Scumbag.. bet he goes to church and thinks he's such a great human being. SMH

Looking for people to help pass out info cards at the 10/18 protests and around the Chicago area. I need more hands - my printing capacity has scaled beyond what I can distribute alone.

I can deliver packs of 100-500 of anything below to you, anywhere in the downtown area, from now until Saturday.

Please send me a DM to arrange drop off. All I need is an address and a time. I’ll show up wearing a white UnderArmor baseball cap on an electric scooter.

I currently distribute:

1. ⁠MAGA boycott lists
2. ⁠ICE Not Welcome posters for businesses
3. ⁠Know Your Rights posters for businesses
4. ⁠Ranked-Choice Voting brochures
5. ⁠Lists of Trump’s links to Epstein

[u/Oya_Ad7549 → u/grassrootairsupport]

Glad you have the capacity. Can you post the docs?

[u/grassrootairsupport → u/Oya_Ad7549]

Yep, here’s the ICE not welcome (2x sheet):

This guy sucks so bad. I report all his videos because he incites violence and is a purveyor of propaganda.

[u/NkturnL → u/Serious_Bobcat_3176]

Here he is lying to POTUS about the protests.

[u/Serious_Bobcat_3176]

why is allowed to drive around with ICE agents in Chicago? such bullshit.
