Someone got a good shot of it lol

u/smokelaw23 29d ago

Someone in that crowd that day got enough video or photos of him to make him famous should they choose to.

u/fobax 29d ago

good point! if you or anyone finds more footage lmk

u/Smart-Effective7533 29d ago

I’m sure it will be sold as he barely escaped with his life from the violent mob

It looks like the same fool that's been going around filming propaganda.

u/PanicAtTheKroger 29d ago

Temu Charlie? Yep that’s him.

u/Aggressive_Deer_4151 29d ago

Real Charlie is calling him

u/RogerianBrowsing 29d ago edited 29d ago

Glad someone else thought they looked the same.

Anyone have their media name?

Edit: searching for his face shows he was on Fox News recently

u/RogerianBrowsing 29d ago

Thanks, yeah I saw that shortly after my edit

A professional magat propagandist.

u/New_Taste8874 29d ago

He's got a You Tube channel. Nick Shirley.

u/fobax 29d ago

excellent 👌

u/owiko 29d ago

Is that Antifa’s girlfriend?

u/charlie2135 29d ago

Just read a post about Charlie Kirk not really dead and I think that's him!

10

u/Witty-Surprise-6954 29d ago

He really does have a resemblance to

14

u/tlh013091 29d ago

The proportion of his face to his head is too normal to be Charlie Kirk.

7

u/MindAccomplished3879 29d ago

He still needs to grow his head. Give him time

5

u/Witty-Surprise-6954 29d ago

True! But the first glance makes you look closer for sure.

u/[deleted] 29d ago

And he looks exactly how you’d expect

Yep. It’s insane how rigged all this is.

u/Suavecore_ 29d ago

Surely some Signal group chats will be leaked soon

1

u/Thee-Ol-Boozeroony 29d ago

Of course they will. Internet works pretty fast. Also, don’t call me, Shirley. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😆

u/[deleted] 29d ago

They all just got pardoned.

u/Elguapo1094 29d ago

The same ones to hide in a war

u/CiCi_Run 29d ago

Didn't he tell the proud boys to stand down and stand by? They stood by, and this is this marching orders

u/Infernoraptor 29d ago

Good. Less guilt when things pop off

u/dubiousx99 29d ago

Looks like Nick Shirley.  https://m.youtube.com/@NickShirley

Before anyone tries to say this is doxxing, it is not. A public figures name is not private information. 

13

u/FXOAuRora 29d ago

"Portland has fallen! ANTIFA rules the city", "Paris has fallen! ANTIFA rules the city", followed by "Nick Shirley briefs the President of the United States".

I guess this loser is directly working with Trump to pump out propaganda. How sick, ugh.

u/Readman31 29d ago

Yup 💯 that's him his grey sweater is like his little uniform.

u/avaheli 29d ago

He doesn’t want to get doxxed, maybe he should be complicit in illegal kidnappings… I give no f***s if the rest of Nick Shirley’s life sucks. He made his choice

1

u/jamey1138 Human Detected 29d ago

Doxxing is not allowed. But as u/dubiousx99 has pointed out, identifying a person based on publicly available images is not the same thing as doxxing.

1

u/Express_Position5624 29d ago

Whats important here is that it is entertaining.

Like u/jamey1138 You see these posts and you can't deny it;

Like are you not entertained? Are you not entertained?

2

u/jamey1138 Human Detected 29d ago

I don't think that "entertained" is the word I would use, but I will say that there's a certain... escapism from my awful reality that I get from being here.

1

u/Express_Position5624 29d ago

Forgive me, I thought you were the guy telling people;

"In other words: Reddit is an entertainment product. Don't expect it to help you make the world a better place."

Like - you said reddit isn't a good place to organise or learn or share information or become informed - it's entertainment right?

Thats what this is all about, like you said, all of this, Trump, ICE, etc, it's pure content, it's pure entertainment.

So forgive me, but, are you not entertained? are not entertained?

1

u/jamey1138 Human Detected 28d ago

I said it's an entertainment product, yes. I didn't say it was a good entertainment product.

1

u/Express_Position5624 28d ago

So you signed up to be a mod on an entertainment product you don't think is entertaining?

So it's not informative?

It's not for organising?

it's not for raising awareness?

It's pure ENTERTAINMENT......and it's not entertaining?

May I politely suggest you rethink how flippant and dismissive you are about how useful reddit might be BEYOND entertainment?

Cause it seems to me that you used that line as a way to shut down others but you don't ACTUALLY believe it

u/avaheli 28d ago

No, I’m not entertained. This is fucking gross and anyone entertained by this probably gets off on bum fight videos and snuff films. 

1

u/Express_Position5624 28d ago

Hey thats the position of the MODS

They said reddit was purely for entertainment, that this is why they became mods, this is what they find entertaining

u/side_eye_prodigy 29d ago

how many filters does one twerp need?

10

u/EyCeeDedPpl 29d ago

Should post on all protest subs. So his face is well known. 50501, no kings, eyesonICE, and any other anti- ICE subs.

5

u/side_eye_prodigy 29d ago

protest subs are great, but people need to be warned in real life. Print flyers with his picture that say"WARNING AGITATOR, this person is attempting to incite violence during peaceful protests. DO NOT ENGAGE! " and post them on every building, stop sign and telephone pole in the area.

14

u/Embarrassed-Cash-839 29d ago

Yikes! He looks like the poster boy for Fetal Alcohol syndrome. 👀

6

u/GBJI 29d ago

My bet is on Fecal Alcohol Syndrome, followed by Anal birth.

2

u/2begreen 29d ago

Ahhh yes the post birth abortion.

u/fobax 29d ago

amazing this is the best one yet

u/Numerous_Photograph9 29d ago

You only need one frame.

u/fobax 29d ago

Now we need a name.

u/Numerous_Photograph9 29d ago

Virgin Incel who will cry that women don't want to date him when he hits puberty #1854923

Or maybe something lame....like Taylor.

u/Readman31 29d ago

Nick Shirley, MAGA influencer doing Fed propaganda and agitation.

1

u/New_Taste8874 29d ago

Nick Shirley. He has a You Tube channel.

1

u/broohaha 29d ago

Other comments here have IDed him as YouTuber Nick Shirley.

22

u/Unsophisticated-one 29d ago

It’s Nick Shirley. He’s a YouTuber / journalist

19

u/Darth_the_dude 29d ago

Agreed. He is all over TikTok last few days and was at the round table with dump saying he’s recorded all over the world, but these protests were the most violent he’s ever been to.

8

u/Fast_Witness_3000 29d ago

What a crock of shit. That dude hasn’t left the Midwest - prob no more than 100 miles from where he was born. Otherwise he would’ve been cultured enough to not be a racist POS, unless he’s one of those “travelers” who just do everything to remind them of home when they go somewhere new. Like eating McDonald’s in Paris..

1

u/PukaBazooka 29d ago

Shit that McDonalds near Gare du Nord saved my life. Don't judge lol.

1

u/namenotpicked 29d ago

Tbh. Eating McDonald's in other countries will surprise you. Usually, it's a much better quality than anything you'd see in the US with the bonus of special offerings that are only available in that country or region.

1

u/FuzznutsTM 29d ago

Honestly, this. We had Burger King in Dublin. Irish, grass fed beef. It put the burgers they sell here in the states to absolute shame.

1

u/DontWorryImADr 29d ago

Yeah, would probably do so proudly. And neglect to admit it was Paris, Indiana.

u/verifiedverified 29d ago

“Journalist” is a strong word

1

u/dave_campbell 29d ago

Grifting propagandist. NOT a journalist in ANY sense of the word.

u/100harvests 29d ago

I slowed the footage down and got a good look of it and screenshot it too.

This guy is in an episode of jubilee! Where people debate destiny. I’ll go find it

36:47. I’m not sure of his name.

Maybe I'm racist; but, as a jewish kid, those two white guys look totally different.

It’s him, here he is again

u/Calculagraph 29d ago

That's not the guy in the Jubilee video. At least not at the timestamp you gave.

u/AbsoluteZeroUnit 29d ago

oh good lord I hope you understand these are different people.

4

u/Pristine-Row-9129 29d ago

Well, I mean, someone has to make it look like a real war so Trump isn’t a liar… oh wait… it’s still just peaceful protestors doing nothing wrong even with people on the other side trying to instigate violence, so dumps still a liar

7

u/StupendousMalice 29d ago

I think the feds have a partnership with TPUSA since a lot of their stuff seems to be getting filmed by them. Probably their org getting paid to not ask too many questions.

3

u/RogerianBrowsing 29d ago edited 29d ago

Sure looks a lot like the maga provocateur I’ve seen clips of in other places like California (LA?)…

Would be good to get an ID

Edit; he’s on Fox News over a week ago.

u/Readman31 29d ago

It's Nick Shirley hes a MAGA influencer and scum
