Bradley Jay Nall, 68, of Des Moines is the Pedo-Protector for those interested.

There are only so many reasons why one would protect people who rape children. Someone needs to check this guy's browser history.

BINGO!
FukcTedCruz
A part of his sentencing should be for him to apologize by admitting he was defending a pedophile
stoots24
Was expecting him to get hit by a car there near the end…
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
I hope he gets his due. Soon.

Internet community, you know what to do.

One thing I’ve noticed about these cowards is they absolutely will not engage when they are presented with people who look like they’re a physical threat. They only do what they do when they don’t think someone there can kick their ass
afstephanie31415
Kick him in the nuts..then throat punch
TattoosAndTENS
Learn these words:
“I was being menaced, which has a legal definition including speed of approach and distance from my person. I have video evidence.”
“I was in fear for my life and bodily safety”
“At the time I was legally menaced, I believed my violent assailant was armed and possibly intoxicated”
“Under Stand Your Ground Laws, it is illegal for you to ask me if I sought egress, or to imply that I could’ve gotten away without acting in self defense”
Then aim for COM (beer gut)
LordSlothington
Im sure he will just take it on the chin.... oh....

Unironically shoot him next time. This is assault, and you are entitled to defend yourself. I've been saying the left needs to arm up for a while now. As the laws currently stand we have every right to carry firearms to our protests, and we should.

I am very disappointed they weren't better prepared for this.
trekxtrider
That's about the time I would pull out some pepper spray.

Link says "Allegedly" No there is no "Allegedly" about that... He definitely did it, it's on video...
idiotsonfire
Until there's a conviction, all charges are alleged.
quzar
Right, but they make the common error of expanding the 'alleged' part to the *actions* that clearly happened rather than merely the determination of a crime. It should be more like: "A man was captured on video tearing down signs and pushing protestors, in an alleged assault"
johnxbear
As bullshit as it is they have to say allegedly until the court decides. He could be on 20 high definition cameras showing his birth certificate and driver's license but until it's "proven" that it was him it's "allegedly"
Higure
And that's a good thing. The courts are arbiters of truth in this context. It isn't up to anyone else to decide where the boundary is for when it becomes "obvious" and we can drop the "allegedly", because no one would agree on where that boundary is. Thus the only sensible boundary is "when the court has said so".
zanaria
Did the idiot say "Don't touch me" or was that one of the protestors? If it was him then they should beat his ass...
ToenailClippingsJar
It was him. The failure of humanity.
Domek97
Why do they never have chins???

Only inbred losers with absolutely nothing going for them in life are dumb enough to try to "defend" the most well known child rapist in the land.

ricpaul
I like that his go-fund-me is now illegal (and removed) since it's classed as 'assault'. My blood boils when I see this, so consequences getting worse for him makes this a tiny little bit more bearable.

Thanks......May This go to DA Top of this Thread!!

I keep an aluminum bat in my truck for just such an occasion.
GIMike1972
Try getting a wrench that fits your ball hitch! This thing comes out there's no question it'll fuck shit up and it is a tool you would have for your truck.
CraftyGiant
keep a glove and ball too, it prevents premeditation arguments.
Larktonguesinadicecup
Yes officer, I love playing... Uh.. this is for baseball, right? Is that the same thing as softball?
eetsumkaus
Oh this is, uh, catch baseball. You catch the pitcher's ball with the spikes on your club and try to get to base with it before the defense steals it back from you.
jridley
Is it not "sitch" as in situation? If it is "stitch" what is that short for or what does that mean?
MrPengy
Stitch means like stitching two videos together. The guy talking is stitching himself into the other video.
livurz
He left his truck there. Why didn't someone "feel threatened" and "flee by the most expedient means"?
jt42
Wasn't he getting in his (white) truck?
StephenDaniels
I think Skip meant he left his truck while destroying the signs.
Valkyr1987
Would have been much funnier to lock it if he left his keys inside so he would have to just wait there until cops arrive and arrest him for destruction of property and blocking traffic
StellarJay77
And assault and likely battery too.
ShaggyQueen
Even better, smash that bitch up and doxx his plate #. Play time over
leechdemon
Walk to the passenger side of the car where he can't see you. Deflate the tires. Call 911 about the vehicle that's stuck on the freeway.
Or do 100 other things to his car. It's right there, clearly he values it less than card board signs that just NEED to be destroyed at any cost.
eetsumkaus
I'm surprised the cops actually went ahead and filed the charges. Good on Des Moines prosecutors I guess?
heyoo42
Can we also find out where he works so we can send that place to rock bottom?
PhooBar
Don't know where he works, but there is some interesting information on this website: https://www.threads.com/@tizzyent/post/DNT5KUFO1fl/video-des-moine-iowa-who-is-he?hl=en
Columbus43219
lol, probably get him promoted
Filanwizard
He was also blocking traffic.
9z2nf02h
Yeah, but that's a trash law designed to punish protesters and make cars more important than human lives.
leechdemon
🤷🏻♂️ so start charging drivers with it when they do the same to pedestrians? Until that sucks too bad, and they take it off the books? 🤔
vraxoin
Illegally parking in the middle of an active traffic lane is ABSOLUTELY not any sort of "trash law". If you have a reason to be parking there, such as work being performed, then you get a work permit for the duration of the job. You cannot just stop and block traffic because you want to. Anything you do in protest is not meant to absolve you of your legal responsibility. When you take part in civil disobedience, you do so knowing that you also can be held responsible for your actions.
OhIfIMust
"'He wanted a face-to-face interaction to apologize in exchange for us dropping the charges,' she said. 'But I’m just not interested.'"
leechdemon
"He can apologize when I visit him in prison." would've been a baller response.
LiceBurger
"I'll say sorry, but only if I dont get in trouble for doing something wrong!"
Bojovnik84
Never drop the charges. If you do, they keep on. Consequences matter.
JustAnotherCynicToo

theinternetkeepsmealive
Yeah why the fuck would she give him the time of day.
StephenDaniels
I would literally love to apologize to the IRS Commissioner each year for not paying my taxes if that meant I didn't have to pay taxes and wouldn't face charges. I'd turn it into a party, it would be one of the best events of each year.
KumquatKoppa
Yea! Instead of paying them, you could just have a "Sorry, I don't want to pay you" party! Don't forget the pizza! Everyone LOVES pizza!
VaultGirl69
I teach this. An apology isn't meant to get you out of trouble or meant to make you feel bad. It exists to help someone move on from what you've done to them. And it certainly isn't a fucking get out of jail free card. Those only exist for wealthy people, and most wealthy people don't stoop to doing this. They get stupid people like this guy to do it for them. Personally, I'd ask which media he consumes and use the law to you after them for inciting violence.
Muffyns
They would weaponize this and go after things they dont like not the actual media they use
sirava
Exactly. If you are apologizing in exchange for something it's not an apology. It's a performance.
REOJackwagon
I'll bet he does, crazy to see the attitude change when consequences come calling
SlickWithaLimerick
I'd say someone should have punched him in the chin, but he would have to have one.
wabitgirl
I'd toss a fist in there just to see if I could find one.
freakdiablo
I'm all for apologizing, but sometimes a simple "I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it...
MeowMachine12
The apology has to be real, minimum.
PirateRubberDuck
If he was sorry then he wouldn't have conditions to him giving an apology.
TwiceK
The judge will decide how long until he's sorry. His buddy trump can pardon him if he needs
FellaWithUmbrella
I don’t think this would be a federal case, so Trump can’t pardon him.
B166ERMaximus
He can be charged AND apologize.
ilovetraveler
Hes not fucking sorry. Those types are never sorry. Several people said they were super sowwy for invading the capital, got reduced sentencing, and then turned around and said yeah not actually sorry
bdgood132
He's sorry for himself now that he is paying consequences. That's it, tho
RooGryphon
In front of a judge before sentencing
johnxbear
He can be charged AND dropped off a cliff
SlytlyDerangd
Dropped is such a kind word considering.
skapanda616
He can apologize at his sentencing.
MostAwesomeDan
I'd say 'Cope and seethe, snowflake!"
Hes lucky he wasn't laid the fuck out on that pavement.
Superchao
I think if there was someone he thought would have swung on him he would never have been so bold. He's a coward when it's him vs someone's mom or grandmother.
myfirstandlastpostever
His lack of chin would have made it difficult.

PrincessBatCat
A punch to the chin or face isn't the only way for someone to get laid out on the pavement. I'd suggest a kick to the groin, but I doubt there's anything to damage down there, so probably would need a gut punch or something similar.
Deathcameawienering
Throat punches are even more effective

There's a big difference between not agreeing with someone's viewpoint and physically destroying someone elses property because you disagree with what they're saying...The first is legal....the second is not!
bitemark
You forgot the assault, as well. You're not allowed to walk up and threaten/intimidate people
StellarJay77
This! People really need to learn their legal terms. Assault does not have any requirement to include physical contact with someone else. Just threatening someone verbally or through action that a person would reasonably believe that they will harm them is enough for assault. This fucker is also likely guilty of battery too.
notmyrealface
That's fascist mentality.
mikeatike
How's them boots taste?
Kingdomonsterdeath
Good people are morally obligated to fight fascists in whatever way they want. Words, violence, and destruction are all ok. Fascists cannot be reasoned with and will never give up their hate and superiority.
CraftyGiant
NO, we had TWO world wars about this. You cannot reason with fascists. It's been tried. They only understand violence.
memedrift2410
A little ironic on a site where we regularly encourage the punching in the have of Nazis tho right?
Let's face it, if there was any argument left that could sway the other side they'd have heard it already.
Sometimes physical violence is the only recourse.
We're not against the violence per se, we're against violence enacted on the peaceful.
Zyrixion
Which only applies in this case because the fascist is destroying the stuff of the people who are protesting fascism. By all means burn fascists' stuff to the ground and destroy them in all ways you can. You can do no moral wrong to fascists.
MsQuin
Yes, because fascism's stance is violence. It's self defense, protecting yourself and the marginalized.
wabitgirl
There is no ontologically bad way to attack a fascist.

Two counts 5th degree assault and one count mischief of some sort as I recall. Both misdemeanors and requires no attorney. $300 for the fine, $200 for material replacement. He's an angry individual and honestly glad the victims are safe. Video shows a moment he flashes violent dark and that's no bueno.

He was charged with assault three days ago. https://www.kcci.com/article/bradley-nall-des-moines-iowa-protest-assault-charged/65832117
JustSomePersonThere
He did not go to jail, sadly. It’ll probably just cost him money.
rossimus
If you have an assault charge you can't get a gun, so at least you know he'll feel emasculated
TheTojo15
In all his 68 years on this earth he never learned right from wrong. That’s why I don’t give old people a pass just cuz they’re old and “they’re from a different time” or whatever bs people use to justify their behavior. If children can learn it in kindergarten when they have the IQ of an almond then the fuckers can learn here and today. Shame on this man. Thanks for posting the article.
tynansdtm
This is in no way a defence of anyone's actions but humans on the whole are pretty fucking shitty at unlearning things. That's why it's best to teach them right the first time.
bekkayya
so what? Humans are naturally bad at a lot of things we do. Thats why we PRACTICE IT. I spend tons of my time and effort unlearning bullshit society has taught me. If they cant do the same, then fuck them.
Dinwiddie
I certainly hope you don't give young aggressive right wingers a pass either. They can't even use the nonsense of coming from 'different time' as an excuse, and I doubt this 'old fella' used that as an argument either. He's just another of the 50+ % of sorry ass 'Murican conservative jerk offs that voted for Trump... Also note that everyone in this clip is over 40, and the one woman has been an active protester for 42 years.
